Saturday, September 22nd - Proverbs 12:15-28

Good Morning!

Happy first day of Fall!  I even changed my color font this morning to match the season! :) I can't believe Summer is gone and Fall is here!  How time flies!

Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Proverbs 12:15 ~ Fools can't figure out why their lives are in turmoil.  Wise people ask for input about their problems and make changes to correct them.

Sometimes I think fools do not have their eyes open or their listening ears turned on!  Then I realize, they do not have Jesus!  The fields are white unto harvest, but the reapers, where are they?  We need to share the Good News and help the fools to see and to hear.  Are you ready to share?

Verses 16-19,22 talk about words in various ways - insults, testimony, lies and just plain words.  "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."  I beg to differ with that old saying.  Words can hurt deep!  Words are strong and can destroy friendships, relationships and self-esteem.  That's a whole other subject when we begin to talk about the tongue and the words that proceed from our mouths.  (Look at the book of James in the New Testament!)

Look at verses 25 and 26 - "An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up.  A righteous man is cautious in friendship, but the way of the wicked leads them astray."  Words come into play once again.  Kind words can lift a person's spirit.  We choose our friends wisely and then we know that we can go to them when we are down and need cheered up or prayed for/with and share our trials and our blessings!
Verse 28 talks of eternal life for the righteous!  Hallelujah and praise the Lord!  We will one day go HOME to our Heavenly Father because we know and have a relationship with Jesus Christ His Son who died and rose again for us! 

Do you know Jesus as your Lord and Savior?  If not, please contact us and we will share Him with you. 

Have a super Saturday!
