Proverbs 20 June 20, 2012
Memory verse: 20:11 “ Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure and whether it be right”
Today’s proverb reinforces the teaching of the book of proverbs. First is the deep thinking required to turn His words into our knowledge. Second, is the carefulness required to train and turn this knowledge into understanding. Finally, this insight must be through some of the personal experiences to prove ourselves.

2) Quick tempered people are like lions, cross them; they will bite off your head
3) Good character averts quarrels, fools pick fights
