Proverbs 15:1 “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” Always have self control because if one doesn’t there will be regretful words which will hurt both the person speaking and the person spoken to. If one is angry, the best thing to do is nothing. Wait, maybe even wait for a long period of time, maybe never respond because a person out of control will remain out of control and regrets are the only result.

Proverbs 14:34 “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people.” The introductory ceremony of the Olympics could not have been more depraved. God was mocked. Why would anyone intentionally make such an introduction while the outstanding athletes are about to compete after much long hard work? At times man is as deprived as deprived gets. Fortunately, there was also a large group who sang and gave glory to our Creator. So, as usual mankind produced a faithful honor to God by some and a dishonor by others. The question is: where do you and I stand?

Proverbs 14:32 “When calamity comes, the wicked are brought down, but even in death the righteous seek refuge in God.” Because of sin life on earth is a struggle. There are only two ways to handle the struggles: Become depressed, anxious, run and suffer deeper consequences living with regrets or realize life on earth is full of struggles but God is by our side either holding our hand or carrying each of us. One relies on our selves, the other relies on our Savior. The wiser is without question relying on our Savior.

Proverbs 14:31 “Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.” Honoring God–what a privilege! Helping the needy is not an obligation—it is a privilege. How can we deny those who honestly ask for our help? In turn, those who are needy have a responsibility to be appreciative. We all should serve our Maker however we are able. The reward? The privilege of honoring God. Blessings always follow.

Proverbs 14:30 “A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.” Jealousy will always produce an unending desire for more. A lack of satisfaction never allows peace in a person’s life. We, as faithful Christians, have to live life always making our top priority in serving our Heavenly Father and blessings follow. In trying to always attain more there is never a contentedness.
