Proverbs 20:19 “A gossip betrays a confidence; so avoid anyone who talks too much.” Humility, an admirable character trait, always includes wise thinking and relatively few thought out words. Wisdom never includes lengthy rambling. Listen carefully, speak carefully. Always have a mindset–am I pleasing my Father as I act and speak?

Proverbs 20:15 “Gold there is, and rubies in abundance, but lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel.” We all make choices every minute of every day. Those choices are based on how our mind in conjunction with our heart function. Those choices also include the relationship each of us has with our Heavenly Father. We have to ask–are our choices meant to serve ourselves, others or God? Each of our consciences has to answer that question continually as we make the correct, God pleasing and wise choice every minute of every day. God bless our choices.

Proverbs 20:10 “Differing weights and differing measures—-the Lord detests them both.” Purity of character is not only a trait which every Christian should always practice, but it is a character trait which our God expects of each of us. When we deviate from this trait we always find ourselves pleasing ourselves and never pleasing our Heavenly Father. Notice, our Author uses a very strong word in defining God’s attitude toward dishonesty.

None of us lives without a need for our Savior. Our Father demands perfection and Jesus is our Advocate and only because of Him and His great love for each of us, you and I can raise our hands and say–I am!How we cherish our Savior!

Proverbs 20:7 “The righteous lead blameless lives; blessed are their children after them.” You and I, only because of the sacrificial life, death and resurrection of our Savior are able to appear before our Heavenly Father as the perfection He demands. This Gospel message of grace is of paramount importance for us to teach our children and grandchildren. This message is our eternal salvation. What could be more important? Have a great weekend.
