Proverbs

WHAT’S IN A NAME?

When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost! –Anonymous

A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold. Proverbs 22:1

Many years ago men would seal a deal with a hand shake. Whether the deal was over a $100 lawn mower or a $100,000 tract of land; a man’s word use to mean something. It held weight. It meant He said what he meant and he meant what he said. You could take it to the bank!

Well I am still thankful there is One that is good to Their Word! Our Saviour has said He would save you if you receive Him. Our Saviour said He would secure you if you ask Him. Our Saviour said He would be seen in the clouds coming again! Hallelujah! Even so come quickly Lord Jesus! Why do I believe that; because of His name sake!

"Zip your mouth before something flies out!"

Those who have few things to attend to are great babblers; for the less men think, the more they talk. –Montesquieu

A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it! Proverbs 15:23

Have you ever been around that person that has an answer for everything…no matter what it is? You’re sitting there talking about something you know they know nothing about and guess what…low and behold- they do! Not really but they feel the need to have an input for everything!

I am reminded of a little line: “It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt”—Mark Twain
