Proverbs 11:2 “When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.” It cannot be stressed enough the importance of walking humbly, faithfully and honorably with our Heavenly Father. Humility is one of those deep words like hope and love. Eliminate any one of these words and life is turned upside down. With making these 3 words a piece of our being and life becomes God pleasing. What could be better? Have a great weekend.

Proverbs 11:1 “The Lord detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with him.” Cheating is never rewarded. Why, if that statement is so obviously true is cheating so commonplace? Answer: Man fails to realize the overwhelming blessings which can come from simply being truthful and honest. Man falsely thinks comfort comes from being self centered and pride filled while ignoring the truths of humility, honesty and walking humbly with our God. Let’s be wise and walk humbly with our Heavenly Father.

Proverbs 10:31 “From the mouth of the righteous comes the fruit of wisdom, but a perverse tongue will be silenced.” No one questions that fruit is sweet like honey. Fruit is an enjoyable and healthy part of everyone’s diet. One can live without eating fruit, but there is no logical reason to do that. God calls wisdom fruit. Wisdom is to be enjoyed as a healthy ingredient of life. Why would a person possibly want to live without the joy and delicious sweetness of wisdom? We want to be God’s children who both listen carefully to gain wisdom and carefully study and expound only wise thought.

Proverbs 10:28 “The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing.” You and I are concerned about our present life, but we are also concerned about our future. Our present was at one time our future, so we could all ask—how are we preparing for our future? Are we continually living life to have a closer and deeper relationship with our Heavenly Father or are we nonchalant about that relationship? Our answer to that question will determine our present and future contentedness and happiness.

Proverbs 10:25 “When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone, but the righteous stand firm forever.” When God created this world He intended perfection. When Adam and Eve fell all life changed. The result became storm after storm. Men, women, children–all now live in a world where life has its continual struggles. Where do you and I find relief? Only in the faithful and wonderful love of our Father who freely gives a rock solid righteousness. We live secure in the arms of our Father.
