In Vs. 3 It is so true "he who guards his mouth preserves his life; But he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction. This the second time to read something like this. Your words are so powerful, we can't just open our mouth and say anything. We have to be careful what we say and when we say it.
Vs. 4 alright this one i am working on. I think i have a lazy spirit lingering on me. I know this scripture is true i believe i experienced it and i sure do not what to have a lazy soul. You get nothing done being lazy, your alone, empty, the list can go on.
Vs. 7 i that is so good. meaning all the wealth, things, popularity in the world does not make you rich. Love makes you rich! the love of God makes you rich! Heaven makes you rich!
Vs. 20 So good! We have to be careful who we spend the most time with. If it is with ungodly people, when negative we need to change that. Not saying you can hang with them, because they do need that love of someone who knows good wisdom. We need to make sure that the majority of our time is with godly wisdom.
This is so GOOD! I really an loving this. It is showing me things that i knew and didn't know. And opening my eyes to the importance to make some changes and really live a righteous life to the fullest. It am being challenge. And i am glad that i am!

Proverbs 13
Tuesday, October 13, 2009
Prov 11 and 12
Prov. 11
It's a good chapter, it really shows that it is way better to live a righteous life than a wicked life. Two Vs. that stuck out to me were
vs.2- You can't have pride in your life. It made me think how can you really share Gods love if you are so prideful? it makes me think that you are being selfish. And when you are being prideful you don't let correction come in or grow because you think you are all good, and to prideful to even humble yourself to say "I'm wrong" or "yes please help me" or whatever.
vs. 14-15- This is so good! It is important to get good counsel! From your pastor, an elder, someone who is walking in the spirit. Not only that but listen to what they have to say and open your heart to it. This Will help us in gaining wisdom and growing Spiritually.
Prov. 12
I really like the first verse, it makes me laugh. he who hates correction is stupid, it is so true!
In 15 i thought that is good and so true. Sometimes we are so caught in what we think no matter if it is right or wrong that we don't stop and listen when someone wise is telling us to stop, wait, no do this. It is so important that we listen to God's counsel, or who ever He puts in our live to counsel us.
To reply on vs. 23 I think your right. It is so important not to just go around blabbering to everyone. You need to wait in God's time to speak. There has been a time or so where i was in a situation where i could have opened my mouth and tell them my "knowledge" however it did not seem right to do it at them time. So i held back till the right time

Prov 9 and 10
Proverbs 9
Wisdom is prepared for us to take. All we have to do is show up and be willing to take of it. And there are times where there is evil trying to trip us up and tell us "go here do this it is so sweeter then going that way"
Proverbs 10
Wow such a great chapter! It's telling us straight up do this not that! Way cool! Be Righteous not wicked! Good things happen to those who are righteous and bad things to those who are not. I sure want to make sure that i am being righteous. meaning Right living in Gods eyes!!
vs. 2-3 tells all for Good toward righteous and wicked people cast away.
I read this from my bible i like it
Soul- A life, a living being, self person, mind, personality, inner desires and feelings.
I always here it as Mind, will and emotion. I kind thought this was deeper explantion, but the same.
So you wanted to know if you are being righteous check out Prov 10!

Prov. 8
I got out of this Chapter that Wisdom is the most important thing, better then money, popularity, and anything else you think is so highly important. from vs. 10-11. This wisdom has been here for a long long long time. And when you have this wisdom you obtain favor in God, you find life! from vs.35.
I really am enjoying this read!! I am learning so much!
I have one question when it is refering to She who is She? She meaning God? Wisdom? Me? I think i get it when i read but not really.
Prov. 6 and 7
Prov. 6
There was so much in this chapter to be told to us.
In a few sentences i get this.
Stay away from ungodly things, thoughts, actions, He doesn't not like it, He hates it. It only hurts you and brings death to you.
I almost feel as though all the chapters we have read so far all go together, they just read a different perspective or something. And the point of it all it Follow God, not evil. In God there is direction, understanding and wisdom, the other way just leads to hurt, pain then death.
It's totally cool and it reminded me about even the smallest thing i do, or think can effect me and my relationship with God. I don't want to fall in any traps of the devil, that's for sure.
Prov. 7
The harlot is like a symbol of all the evil tricky sneaky things in this world that try and keep us from God. And it will if we do not gain Wisdom and Knowledge of God.
No one reads this!
So i have come to the understanding that no one ever reads this blog and to my surpirse i dont really care. Now my sister does read it, (thank you). But that is about it. It is my fault though that no one reads it because well i'm so bad at posting. i hope to change that!
