Proverbs 10:1 “A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.” Children make parents proud or make them sad. We all have to ask—what kind of child am I? We have to ask that question whether we are a child or are an adult. Regardless of our stage in life—are we portraying the faithful wisdom our Heavenly Father would have us display? If we are—we are making our parents proud. We pray we are making all of our parents proud.

Proverbs 9:12 “If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you; if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.” Humility and wisdom walk side by side. The two will absolutely guarantee a blessed and therefore successful life. Arrogance and self righteousness are also traits that love each other. Though common companions they guarantee a lonely and very poor quality of life and a future of sadness. Choose humility and wisdom while praying for God’s blessings.

Proverbs 9:9 “Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.” Those who fear God eagerly pursue His wisdom and instruction. They never have to be told to study the Bible, they strongly desire to make the contents of Scripture their own. The wise always pursue wisdom and those who are knowledgeable always pursue knowledge. Have a great weekend.

Proverbs 8:34 “Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.” The book of Proverbs is so magnificent. We read our Father’s words and learn and enjoy His always faithful promises. It is our responsibility to always read, listen and apply. We pray to always follow what He has to say and then enjoy all the promises He so graciously gives each of us.

Proverbs 8:17 “I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me.” What a wonderful promise from our God. How do you and I seek God? Pray to Him. Read His Word. Have conversation with fellow believers. Write so others learn and grow in His Word and relationship. Keep your and my eyes focused on Him. Continually pray for His wisdom to be our wisdom. Love Him and seek Him in all we do.

Proverbs 8:13 “To fear the Lord is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.” Our lives are to be led serving and honoring our Heavenly Father. There is much on this beautiful earth which can easily distract each of us from our purpose of living as intended by God. Beauty is everywhere–in nature, abilities, man made personal toys, looks, intelligence–there is almost no end of personal pleasure. Never let these gifts overwhelm us. Never let these gifts turn us from the real purpose of life–to serve our Lord and Savior.
