I’ve been reading in Proverbs this week and there were a couple of verses that caught my attention that I would like to share with you. Proverbs 29:11 says, “A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back.”Proverbs 29:20 says, “Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him.”
These are good principles for us to live by in our homes, schools, workplaces, and in the church. Proverbs 23:23 encourages us to “Buy truth, and do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.” Certainly truth, wisdom, instruction, and understanding cannot simply be purchased with money! But you and I can pursue these things as if they are of supreme value. My prayer is that the Lord would make us wise as we study the scriptures together and apply them to our lives.
Continue to pursue Him, church! Devour His Word; put it to memory; live it out!
Lord willing, I will see you on Sunday!
In His Grace,
Joe
