Proverbs 15:9 “The Lord detests the way of the wicked but He loves those who pursue righteousness.” The purpose of the Bible is to teach each of us who God is, what He has done for each of us and how we are to live our lives. This passage certainly tells us the temperament of our God in regard to following a world self seeking mentality as apposed to actively living a life which places Him at the center. Placing our God at the center is without question the life to pursue.

Proverbs 14:5 “A fool spurns his father’s discipline, but whoever heeds correction shows prudence.” Although discipline and love should always be twin companions in the relation between parent and child, Solomon recognizes that relationship does not always exist; but when it does, the lesson taught by the parent produces a growth wisdom for the wise child. All of us should be that wise child and/or that wise parent. Have a great weekend.

Proverbs 15:4 “The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life, but a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.” Encouragement is key to success in life. Depression and addictions result when a person lives in an atmosphere of discouragements and feelings of low or nonexistent self-worth. Your and my words can amazingly affect another person in drastic ways. Knowing the reality of the effect of words, how can we not tell others of the wonders of our Heavenly Father.

Proverbs 15:3 “The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.” Name one person who has tried to get away with doing something they knew they should not do thinking no one is watching. Better include yourself as should I. God knows every move we make–not just when the lights are on–not just when the lights are off–every second of every day. Praise God for making each of us accountable, for He is ever present.

Proverbs 15:2 “The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.” Words and speaking can either produce wise thought or can make sounds which resemble ideas but are actually of little or no value. Before you or I communicate we should always ask ourselves—are we making noise or are we expressing wise thinking. Hopefully we always express thinking which carries wisdom.
