Words to ponder for today: 

A Wise and A Fool

The proverbs of Solomon speaks most of the counter characteristics  of a person and the results of their behavioral traits. 

It is as always profound and natural, that all causes have its corresponding effects, and all that are categorically the same, goes together having the respective results according to the aftermath of a given action. 

Such obverse attitude are mentioned for our admonition, to be an example of to do and not to do:

*  A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother. 

 - be a wise son or daughter for goodness sake, not foolish.v.1

- be not haughty to be rich and obtain treasures for it all will come to nothing and will just destroy life. Better to be straight going having  little,but peaceful life.For The LORD will not let the righteous to go an hunger, but His hand will be heavy upon them whose wealth and existence earn from wickedness.

v.2,3

* He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

- persons who are lazy, easily get tired, sleepyheads,and would not want to endure and enjoy heavy  works will soon be hungry and wanting; they will become envious, which leads them  to steal, and they will rot within themselves or in jail, when everyone else enjoy the fruit of their labor. For The LORD bless them who works hard and honest for their living and that is accounted for their righteousness in the sight of GOD and men. V. 4-7, 26

* The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall. 

- Diligence to learn, listen and to know the importance of leveraging are to the wise in heart. To the foolish, learning is a burdensome, listening is idiocy, and leveraging is unknown to them. What the foolish motto is: do whatever makes them happy, even if it meant troubles and jeopardy. Life to them is, “eat and sleep many, be merry, die happy”. They don’t even care if The LORD never let the wicked and foolish go unpunished . 

V.8-17 

 * He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.  [19] In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.

- them that uses flattery, them that speak goodness while the heart is haughty, them that witness falsely,  them who curses, them that speaks vanity and hypocrisy, them that speak lies,  To GOD, are foolish and wicked. For The LORD knows the thoughts and intents of our hearts. Words are supposed to be use to give sound information and honest communications. Speaking is a God-given gift; it should be use to encourage, convey learnings and for the souls’ uplifting; it should also be use for praying, praising and glorifying GOD,  the Giver Of our life. 

Righteous, diligent, and wise shall be blessed by GOD, and they have their expected ends and rewards, but the fools have their destruction, sorrowful end, and damnation.

V18- 25, 27-32

Likes begets likes. 

To whom you want to be likened, to the fools or to the wise?

Choose Wise now. 

 Have a pleasant day today!

Proverbs 10:1-32 KJV

[1] The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother. [2] Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death. [3] The Lord will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked. [4] He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich. [5] He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame. [6] Blessings are upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. [7] The memory of the just is blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot. [8] The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall. [9] He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known. [10] He that winketh with the eye causeth sorrow: but a prating fool shall fall. [11] The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. [12] Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. [13] In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding. [14] Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction. [15] The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty. [16] The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin. [17] He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth. [18] He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool. [19] In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise. [20] The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth. [21] The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom. [22] The blessing of the Lord , it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. [23] It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom. [24] The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted. [25] As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more : but the righteous is an everlasting foundation. [26] As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him. [27] The fear of the Lord prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. [28] The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish. [29] The way of the Lord is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity. [30] The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth. [31] The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out. [32] The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness.
