Proverbs 16, June 16, 2012
Memory Verse: Proverbs 16:18 “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.”
Our proverb for today has two distinct breaks again. The first break is “Everything has a Place and Purpose”, and the second is that “It pays to take what you are doing seriously”. My wife always tells me that if I would always put things back where I got them, I could keep up with them much easier. Excellent words for both planning and performance. I have always heard, “If you will scratch, it will be the itch you scratch”. We all need to focus on what counts, just like the squeaky lock that gets the WD40”
Everything Has a Place and Purpose
1) Men make plans; God has the last word
2) Men look for what looks good; God looks for what IS good
3) Put God in charge; your plans will take place
4) God made everything; even the wicked for judgment
5) God hates arrogance or pretense; such will be punished
6) Love and truth banish guilt; Respect for God deflects evil
7) When God approves your life; even your enemies will congratulate you
8) Better to be right and poor than wrong and rich
9) We plan our lives, but God guides our daily steps
Take Life Seriously
1) A Good leader motivates; doesn’t mislead or exploit
2) God cares about workplace honesty; your business is His business
3) Good leaders speak honestly; love truthful advisors
4) Rash leaders wreak havoc; stay clear of them
5) Fair leaders invigorate like sun and spring rains
6) Get wisdom—worth more than money; choose insight over income
7) Righteous road bypasses evil; watch your step and save your life
8) First pride, then crash; the greater the ego, the harder the fall
9) Better to live humbly with the poor than to party with the proud
10) Take life seriously; things work out when you trust God
11) He wise are known for understanding; gracious words build reputation
12) Intelligence is spring of water; foolish sweat it out the hard way
13) Wise make sense; their reputation builds on their words
14) Gracious speech is like honey; good taste and quick energy
15) The way may look harmless, but it may well lead to death
16) Appetite is an incentive to work; hunger drives you to work harder
17) Mean people gossip; their words hurt and burn
18) Troublemakers start fights; gossips break up friendships
19) Violence betrays their own friends; it will stab you in the back
20) Shifty eyes betray evil intentions; clenched jaw signals trouble
21) Gray hair is mark of distinction; an award to loyalty to God
22) Moderation defeats muscle; self-control betters political power
23) Make your motions, cast your votes; God has the final say!
TODAY IS THE 44 ANNIVERSARY OF OUR SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE. KOKO!
