Happy Sunday The New Year is upon us. Man says: I have my next year all planned. God says: I direct your steps. Man says: Get money-problems solved! God says: Insight beats money every time. Man says: You can expect great things from me, because I do it right. God says: Pride will destroy it. Man says: If you cant say anything nice, dont say anything at all, right? God says: But-pleasant words HEAL. Man says: Absolutely nothing can stop us from arguing! God says: Be the first to keep your mouth closed. Man says: Ive had it with him. Im out of here! God says: True friends hang in there. Man says: Ive got to say something! I dont want to look stupid. God says: Silence is more often wiser. Man says: I dont need to reach out. God says: Be wise. Do. Proverbs 16:9 We can make our plans, but the lord determines our steps. Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall. Proverbs 16:24 Kind words are like honey— sweet to the soul and healthy for the body. Proverbs 17:14 Starting a quarrel is like opening a floodgate, so stop before a dispute breaks out. Proverbs 17:17 A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need. Proverbs 17:28 Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent; with their mouths shut, they seem intelligent. Proverbs 18: 1 Unfriendly people care only about themselves; they lash out at common sense. 10 The name of the lord is a strong fortress; the godly run to him and are safe. 11 The rich think of their wealth as a strong defense; they imagine it to be a high wall of safety. 12 Haughtiness goes before destruction; humility precedes honor. 13 Spouting off before listening to the facts is both shameful and foolish. 14 The human spirit can endure a sick body, but who can bear a crushed spirit? 15 Intelligent people are always ready to learn. Their ears are open for knowledge. 16 Giving a gift can open doors; it gives access to important people! 17 The first to speak in court sounds right— until the cross-examination begins. 18 Flipping a coin can end arguments; it settles disputes between powerful opponents. 19 An offended friend is harder to win back than a fortified city. Arguments separate friends like a gate locked with bars.
