Wisdom
Fruit of Their Ways-Jack Blake
Wednesday, July 17, 2024Good Morning,
It is the wise man who benefits from the mistakes of others. One day soon it will be too late to have any gain or profit from those experiences of others and advice they have tried to give us. The wise man Solomon in Proverbs 1.28-31 described wisdom saying, "then they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but will not find me. Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the Lord, would have none of My counsel and despised all my reproof, therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way, and have their fill of their own devices. Pride is the main reason that keeps us from listening to others and profiting from their experiences. Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 16.18.
From my reading of Gary Henry word points. Thanks for reading.
Be Wise, Abstain from Evil-Jack Blake
Thursday, July 11, 2024GOOD MORNING,
The simple believes every word, but the prudent considers well his steps. A wise man fears and departs from evil, but a fool rages and is self confident. A quick tempered man acts foolishly. And a man of wicked intentions is hated. The simple inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge. The evil will bow before the good, and the wicked at the gates of righteousness. Proverbs 14.15-19. Disciples, who is wise and understanding among you? Show by good conduct that your works. are done in the meekness of wisdom. See James 3.13. Forget not, there is a way that seems right to man, but its end is the way of death. Proverbs 14.12. And remember the eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good. Proverbs 15.3. Seek. good and not evil. Amos 5.14. Abstain from every form of evil.
