Proverbs 18:12 “Before his downfall a man’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor.” Education, income, position or popularity can be the worst thing a person can attain. These qualities can also be the best things a person can attain. What makes the difference? Humility! The best is to always recognize being a child of God is the greatest honor a person will ever achieve.

Proverbs 18:10 “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” The security found through a strong faith and unquestioning loyalty to our Heavenly Father is the most valuable treasure a person can own. All other treasures provide fleeting happiness while a close relationship with our God is a guarantee of eternal comfort. Have a great weekend.

Proverbs 17:28 “Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue.” We don’t usually associate wisdom with silence, but we do often associate foolish thinking with conversation. Often a look expresses more than words and silence can easily influence and discipline. I wonder how many of us as parents have accomplished much in a very loving way with a look and a silence and the amazing thing is–both love and excellent results were accomplished.

Proverbs 17:27 “A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered.” Words can display both thought and thoughtlessness. Knowing this thought should generate a careful choice of when to use wise words and when to remain silent. To speak just to hear sound is both foolish and can be very detrimental. God gives us the ability to speak, and we should use that ability wisely and to His honor.

Proverbs 17:24 “A discerning man keeps wisdom in view, but a fool’s eyes wander to the ends of the earth.” There is never a time in life when wisdom can be discarded. There is never a time in life when one can hide from God and think he is out of sight of our Almighty God. Why would a person ever want to walk this earth without their Heavenly Father at their side?
