We are reading through Proverbs this month as we look to make the wise choice. Here's some insight that stood out to me. It's not too late to jump in. Start today with Proverbs 13.
8:11 - for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her.
9:8-12 - Do not rebuke mockers or they will hate you; rebuke the wise and they will love you. Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. For through wisdom your days will be many, and years will be added to your life. If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you; if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.
10:8-9 - The wise in heart accept commands, but a chattering fool comes to ruin. Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.
10:13 - Wisdom is found on the lips of the discerning, but a rod is for the back of one who has no sense.
11: 2 - When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.
11:5 -The righteousness of the blameless makes their paths straight, but the wicked are brought down by their own wickedness.
11:6 - The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the unfaithful are trapped by evil desires.
11:25 - A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.
12:1 - Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,but whoever hates correction is stupid.
12:25 - Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up.
13:4 - A sluggard's appetite is never filled,but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.
13:20 - Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.\
13:24 - Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them.
