I don’t have much to say today (believe it or not!!), but that’s not a bad thing. I’ll allow the words to speak for themselves this week. Enjoy!!
My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. (Proverbs 4:20)
Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.
Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips. (Proverbs 27:1-2)
Or, as Benjamin Franklin repeated: He that falls in love with himself will have no rivals. Haha!
He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will be destruction. (Proverbs 13:20)
As a ring of gold in a swine’s snout, so is a lovely woman who lacks good sense. (Proverbs 11:22)
He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house, but he who hates bribes will live. (Proverbs 15:27)
He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just– both of them are an abomination to the Lord. (Proverbs 17:15)
When the righteous become great, the people rejoice; but when a wicked man rules, the people groan. (Proverbs 29:2)

I love Proverbs, but do not read it enough! Thanks for that!

Ditto Lisa. Every time I read some Proverbs, I think, “Gee, I need to spend more time there.” I could use a little of Solomon’s wisdom.

I really like Proverbs 18:6, 7: “A fool’s lips bring strife, and his mouth calls for blows. A fool’s mouth is his ruin, and his lips are the snare of his soul.” Does that make you think of anyone you know?
