Proverbs 13

I am reading Proverbs 10-30 all from The Message, and here is what I took from Chapter 13...

1. Verse 3 "Careful words make for a careful life; careless talk may ruin everything."

2. Verse 7 "A pretentious, showy life is an empty life; a plain and simple life is a full life."

3. Verse 13 "Ignore the word and suffer; honor God's commands and grow rich."

4. Verse 20 "Become wise by walking with the wise; hang out with fools and watch your life fall to pieces."

5. Verse 24 "A refusal to correct is a refusal to love; love your children by disciplining them."

I still have a hard time just picking a few that really stand out to me. I love the way Solomon wrote this, it's like little bits of random advice thrown from here and there, but all so applicable, even thousands of years later!

What are your favorites?
See you tomorrow...
