Time spent in God’s word is never enough. You grow deeper in your relationship with God by listening and spending more time with him.

“I am teaching you - yes you - so you will trust the Lord” (v.19)

“Don’t waste your breath on fools, they despise advice”

“Don’t excuse yourself saying “Look, we didn’t know…. God knows you knew”!!! (v.12)

“Get the truth and never sell it” (v.23)

v.29-35 summed in a sentence : “I have yet to meet the person who says: my life got better once I started drinking” ☹️. 3000 years later, humans don’t change much!

I need proverbs on repeat in my ears all day long 🤩

- “Don’t say “I will get even for this wrong.” Wait for the Lord to handle the matter. (v22)” God is better at justice than we are.

- “A gossip goes around telling secrets, so don’t hang around with chatterers. (v.19)” Character should be how you pick your companions.

- “The Lords light exposes every hidden motive. (v.27)” Serious question: Does that comfort you or terrify you?

Lastly 22:13 - ridiculous excuses, reveal who people truly are.

My highlights

- “It’s safer to meet a bear robbed of her cubs, then to confront a fool caught in their foolishness” … re-actions expose more of character than actions.

- “Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent are both detestable to the Lord.”

- “The first to speak in court sounds right, until the cross-examination begins.” … never draw conclusions from one side of the story!

- “Rumors are dainty morsels that sink deep into one’s heart.”

- “A truly wise person uses few words” … I better stop now 😂

Oh proverbs 🫠

If I was only able to store 2 proverbs each chapter in my memory to be mulled over and over, they’d be these:

14:10- Each heart knows its own bitterness and no one can fully share its joy.

14:12- There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death.

15:1- A gentle answer turns away wrath, but harsh words stir up anger.

15:3- The Lord is watching everywhere. Keeping his eye on both evil and good.

16:4- The Lord has made everything for a purpose, even the wicked for the day of disaster 😳

16:33- We may throw the dice, but the Lord determines how they fall! Sovereignty on a different level.

People came from all over the world to hear the wisdom of Solomon, right in our very own hands we have books and books of his wisdom!!!

I can’t possibly sum up today’s proverbs in a text message 😁

Which proverbs today connected with you the most?

For me it was all the honesty and integrity… and wondering why that’s so rare even in our own internal thoughts 😬

Wisdom is personified today, some think it's possibly about Christ himself (1 Corinthians 1:30)???

-"I call to you"
-"I speak truth, I detest deception"
-"I love all who love me"
-"I was there when the heavens were created!"
-"I was there when he set the boundaries of the sea"
-"whoever finds ME finds life"
-"how happy I was with the world he created!" 🤔

Why do you think it's so difficult to be wise and it's so easy to be foolish?

The seriousness of proverbs is growing in my life the more I read it.... I'm the fool🙋‍♂️

Oops. I posted this on the wrong facebook earlier 🤦‍♂️
"Sin looks like freedom until you try to stop, then you see its chains!"

"Sin makes promises to you that it cannot keep, God makes promises he cannot break"

"Can you put fire in your lap and not get burned? So it is with another man's wife... his fury and revenge will not be satisfied, he will accept no compensation!"

Lastly let the Seven things the lord hates be stored in your long term memory (6:16-19)

Yes God Hates these things ☹️
