Proverbs 9:14 “Wise men store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool invites ruin.” Thinking about the effects of what one has to say before speaking is the trait of a wise person. Listening carefully and understanding what is being said before responding is also a sign of a wise person. Listen, learn and gain knowledge are all traits of a wise person. Be careful to never fall into the trap of the second half of this passage.

Proverbs 10:9 “The man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be found out.” Honesty or uprightness or integrity are all synonyms for the character all of us should practice as a natural part of our lives. Just the opposite is ruinous and will destroy anyone’s trust. Always be honest. Simple, extremely valuable truth. Have a great weekend.

Proverbs 10:4 “Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth.” Every human adult with normal mental capacity has the responsibility of being accountable at the least for themselves. When the least of responsibilities is ignored only failures result. Life becomes purposeless and despondency results. When the opposite is practiced and a purposeful life is lived, wealth, contentedness and joy are realized. Imagine including the love and blessing of our Heavenly Father. Life doesn’t get better and one’s future couldn’t look brighter.

Proverbs 10:1 “A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son grief to his mother.” Parenting and leading is not easy. Those of you who are parents—have you had the continual thought—how can I expose my God-given children to think wisdom? To those in a leadership position—do you think—how can I teach wisdom? If that type of wise thinking is continually exposed and is grasped by the one intended to gain, the result will be a joy and a life full of reward for wisdom is a treasure chest without measure.

Proverbs 9:9 “Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning.” Does God use you to do the instruction or teaching or does He use you to do the gaining of wisdom and learning? Or does God use you for both? Are you a faithful disciple? Are you righteous because of the saving, sacrificial work of our Savior? You are becoming wiser and more learned. What a blessed person you are.

Proverbs 8:35 “For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the Lord.” The book of Proverbs is a constant exposure of the value of wisdom. Thinking, living, teaching and constantly applying the life saving mentality of wisdom. Without the true God in one’s life wisdom will never be found. Therefore, the only conclusion one can come to is: Study the Scriptures and gain a life of wisdom.
