Proverbs 22:16 “One who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth and one who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty.” All of us are to use our blessings and talents to honor our God, improve ourselves and help our fellow man. Any other use of what God has freely given each of us is simply wrong and is a precursor to disaster. God couldn’t be more explicit in expressing truth.

Proverbs 22:10 “Drive out the mocker, and out goes strife; quarrels and insults are ended.” Surround yourself with those who have faith filled values. Whenever this mentality is ignored dissension and chaos will rule the atmosphere like a red tide where it is impossible to breath clearly. Calm can only present itself where a peaceful and wholesome atmosphere is desired and created.

Proverbs 22:9 “The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor.” Keep and save all you can because some day you might need it is not the mentality Solomon writes about—just the opposite. God’s wisdom tells us to be generous and He will bless us. Very simple, yet profound—Want to be blessed? Be generous.

Proverbs 22:7 “The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.” If a person does not have either a rent or mortgage or car loan payment, that person can earn that much less money and be in the same financial position. Or with no payments and being debt free a person’s income increases by the amount of former debt. A wise lifestyle is to be debt free. Thank you to all veterans for serving us and our Country.

Proverbs 22:6 “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” Parenting well is the most important responsibility any mother or father has. Every Christian parent trains their children and prays for their children. Unfortunately, other influences affect children, young adults and children as they become adults. Although this passage is certainly true, as is all of Scripture, we all know sin infests even our children and though they are trained well, sometimes our children fall. We parents live praying for our children that they avoid the calamities of this world. Have a great weekend.
