Proverbs 11

Here are some of my favorite Proverbs from chapter 11...

1. Verse 2 "The stuck-up fall flat on their faces, but down-to-earth people stand firm."

2. Verse 5 "Moral character makes for smooth traveling; an evil life is a hard life."

3. Verse 12 "Mean-spirited slander is heartless; quiet discretion accompanies good sense."

4. Verse 14 "Without good direction, people lose their way; the more wise counsel you follow, the better your chances."

5. Verse 21 "Count on this: The wicked won't get off scot-free, and God's loyal people will
triumph."

6. Verse 25 "The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed; those who help others are helped."

I had a hard time just picking a few of my favorites. All of these came out of The Message.

What are your favorites?
See you tomorrow...

My favs of ch 11....

4 A thick bankroll is no help when life falls apart, but a principled life can stand up to the worst.

14 Without good direction, people lose their way; the more wise counsel you follow, the better your chances.

17 When you're kind to others, you help yourself; when you're cruel to others, you hurt yourself.

25 The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed; those who help others are helped.

28 A life devoted to things is a dead life, a stump; a God-shaped life is a flourishing tree.
