Proverbs 25:28 “Like a city whose walls are broken through is a person who lacks self-control.” Wild chaos is the only result when a person loses control of their actions. Self-control is essential at all times even when a person is being mistreated. Levelheaded thinking will win no matter the situation. Always be calm remembering who you represent.

Proverbs 25:21-22 “If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink, in doing this you will heap burning coals on his head, and the Lord will reward you.” Our Teacher gave His life for all people. Our Teacher is Jesus, our example. All means everyone-not just the “good, obedient, kind, generous, charitable, loving, considerate”–you get the idea. Jesus died for all. You and I can certainly learn and apply the truth–give water and food to even our enemy and God will reward each of us.

Proverbs 25:16 “If you find honey, eat just enough—too much of it, and you will vomit.” Excess of anything is too much and is never healthy no matter what the substance is. Contentedness is the best. If a person has the ability to indulge in excess, he/she must, in wisdom understand the concept of too much. In everything–food, drink, work, leisure or any earthly desire–be careful to always ask yourself—-Is this excessive–does it allow me to give more glory to God–God always guide me! Have a great weekend.

Proverbs 24:34-35 “A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man.” You and I are to responsibly use our talents. Laziness is the lifestyle of many, but it is not going to generate the life God intends for us to live. God intends us to live a life of abundance and not a life of poverty or want. He has blessed America beyond measure and you and I are blessed to live in this country. Enjoy life–honor God and serve as His humble creation.

Proverbs 24:29 “Do not say, ‘I’ll do to them as they have done to me; I’ll pay them back for what they did.'” Revenge is never a Christian option. Holding a grudge is self-destructive. To be mentally healthy and have a high level of EQ (which is far more important than a high IQ) one always has to improve themselves and encourage others to do the same. If someone rejects your encouragement, walk away and carry on with a blessed life.

Proverbs 22:17 “Do not gloat when your enemy fails; when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice.” Humility, no matter the circumstance, is always a character trait of an adopted and loved child of God. To be concerned over the life and fate of everyone is certainly a character trait of our Savior Teacher and is therefore a character trait you and I should also emulate. Although not normal, this passage is one to make our own.
