Practical Pointers From Proverbs:
“1 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold. 2 The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all. 3 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished” (Proverbs 22:1-3).
Three points to determine your bearings today.
1. “A good name is better than riches.” So what if the world doesn’t know you. The Lord does.
2. “The rich and poor meet together.” The only thing of real value that any man possesses is his soul. Your soul is the only thing in this life you have to lose, and the only thing you can be assured of keeping.
3. “A prudent man forseeth the evil.” Wisdom is the ability to see the end of a thing from the beginning. The fool can’t see that trouble is around the corner. He never considers the consequences before he acts.
Get Wisdom. She’ll keep you on track.
