Intelligent children listen to their parents; foolish children do their own thing. (Proverbs 13:1) The Message
Our scripture for the day is full of wisdom. Please read some of the remaining verses and meditate on them.
2. The good acquire a taste for helpful conversation; bullies push and shove their way through life.
3. Careful words make for a careful life; careless talk may ruin everything.
4. Indolence wants it all and gets nothing; the energetic have something to show for their lives.
5. A good person hates false talk; a bad person wallows in gibberish.
6. A God-loyal life keeps you on track; sin dumps the wicked in the ditch.
7. A pretentious, showy life is an empty life; a plain and simple life is a full life.
8. The rich can be sued for everything they have, but the poor are free of such threats.
9. The lives of good people are brightly lit streets; the lives of the wicked are dark alleys.
10. Arrogant know-it-alls stir up discord, but wise men and women listen to each other’s counsel.
Read the rest of the chapter. This is how we learn to move in God’s wisdom for our lives.
