Proverbs 15:31 “Whoever heeds life-giving correction will be at home among the wise.” Correction, wise discussion, hanging out with faith-filled Christians are all a part of living and helping others live a successful life. Successful living means living wisely in all we do.

Proverbs 15:29 “The Lord is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.” Does God really hear you and me when we talk (pray) to Him or are we thinking/expressing words which are meaningless. God assures us He hears us. Why then doesn’t He answer exactly as we request? I wish I could answer that question for both myself and you or you could answer for me. All we, as faithful/righteous believers know is He walks by our side, hears us, understands us and then does the best for each of us. In eternity, when we talk to Him we will finally understand. Have a great weekend.

Proverbs 15:28 “The heart of the righteous weighs its answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes evil.” Our mouth exposes our heart. Can an evil mentality speak kindness? Can a heart which lacks love produce love? Can a mind which does not have a relationship with its Heavenly Father teach or display such a close relationship? Who you or I am is exposed by our mouth even though our mouth is only a small part of our body.

Proverbs 15:22 “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.” Critiquing ideas will make for thoughtful decisions. Being closed minded and not listening to wisdom from others does not allow for interaction of thought. Wise interaction is key–just interaction is a waste of time. Choose wise interactive partners.

Proverbs 15:20 “A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish man despises his mother.” Children have the ability to make choices. They can choose to be respectful, or they can choose to be disrespectful. Each of us either has made that choice or are making that choice. Our passage tells us one choice brings joy and another choice brings sadness. It is foolish to choose sadness when happiness and joy are such easy choices to make.
