A Fountain of Life

The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.

Proverbs 13:14

Proverbs 13:13-25

An inheritance for my grandchildren — what will it be?

Not money, that’s for sure, nor any other kind of material wealth.

A prospering business? (See previous statement.)

A successful ministry? That’s not likely either.

A good name? Ha!

Yet there’s this:

“A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just” (Proverbs 13:22).

What am I leaving to my children and my grandchildren?

[The Scriptures say in Proverbs 13:20 -- He that walketh with wise men shall be wise]

My Enemy and I

For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee.

Proverbs 25:22

Reading:

Proverbs 25:11-28

“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver” (Proverbs 25:11).

As a noble friend…

  • Speak words that fit…and speak them fittingly (Proverbs 25:11).
  • Give good value with your reproof (Proverbs 25:12).
  • Keep the length and frequence of your visits well timed (Proverbs 25:17).
  • Be faithful to a trust (Proverbs 25:19).
  • Fit the occasion (Proverbs 25:20).
  • Be a joy to be with (Proverbs 25:24).
