Proverbs 14:16 “A wise man fears the Lord and shuns evil, but a fool is hotheaded and reckless.” Fear does not mean to be afraid of, but rather to stand in awe of. As human beings it is impossible to understand the magnificence and power of God. We mistakenly reason that God is a super human. The truth is: God is God–there is NOTHING to compare Him to. The Creator of the universe. The One who carries you and me. The Savior who calls you and me His own and has adopted us as His precious children—That indescribable God we stand in awe of and try the best we can, in our meager way, to return His great love.

Proverbs 14:15 “A simple man believes anything, but a prudent man gives thought to his steps.” You and I will be listening, talking and walking as we live another day. Will our activities display a serving of ourselves or will we realize that all we do is to give glory to our Heavenly Father in appreciation for His loving care of each of us. This walk is not just theory, rather, this daily walk is in honor of the Oe who lived, died and rose for each of us.

Proverbs 14:11 “The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish.” If you were guaranteed a successful life with rich blessings and a contentment so you could live a joyful and relaxed life, wouldn’t you be foolish to say no to such a life? Well, what do I have to do to enjoy such a life?

Proverbs 14:8 “The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways, but the folly of fools is deception.” We all need to carefully think before we speak. It is always, without exception, always good to listen carefully to another person’s words and then to evaluate the meaning intended of those words before offering a response. An impetuous or impulsive response will never produce the wisdom gained and spoken through careful and wise listening.

Proverbs 13:24 “He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him.” A loving parent, a loving friend, a loving mentor will always lovingly teach, direct or train the person being led. Without discipline success will not happen. Control over one’s life is essential for order and is certainly necessary for leading a God pleasing life. Discipline is key to morality, contentedness and happiness. Have a great weekend.
