I think being wise...is the way to go! Gleanings from Proverbs 12: 13-28

Sometimes I just love to read these Proverbs...it is spelled out so clear...Gleanings from Proverbs 12:13-28...

 " Words that come from those who are followers of evil can be cutting and its aim being to hurt another, not realizing the words they say is nothing more than a trap for themselves.
 As for those who choose to follow after Heaven's True King, their words bring peace and leads one out of any trouble they may face.
 In fact, well-spoken words being birthed from the Author of Wisdom Himself, has many good benefits and brings with it satisfaction and comfort. And those who offer this godly direction and advice, the hard work and patience of it all will have return benefits...at harvest time!

 There are fools out there who really think they are right on how they handle their affairs in life, not ever wanting any advice or help from anyone. Now the wise man, he will receive all the good advice he can get.
 Along with that, it is easy for a foolish person to get annoyed quickly...and easily. In fact, they are often quick-tempered (mainly because they don't have any confidence in what they are doing), and not known for "following through" in what they are trying to accomplish.
 Now a wise man, you will notice a difference here. The wise man is much more calm and cool as he walks through various situations in life, and even when someone tries to insult him, he overlooks it and keeps steady as to what his particular objective is at that time.

 If and when you might be in need of a witness, make sure you choose an honest one...he will tell the truth. A false witness will not think ill of himself nor consider it substandard to speak deceit mixed with lies.
 You can usually tell if a person is one that gives good advice, for when he speaks, do you find his words cutting?...like someone just run a sword through you?...or are his words soothing and brings solutions and healings to what may have been on your mind?
 When one speaks the truth, it will stand the test of time. When one speaks lies, it will last only a moment, then it is exposed for what it is.

 A mind who entertains evil is subject to being deceitful, while those who choose True Peace bring joy with it.
 There is no actual evil, misfortune, or calamity that gets the "final say" and destroys the Righteous (that is an oxymoron), but as to the wicked...it is all true...they really do meet their doom.
 Another thing, a wise man doesn't go around "shooting off his mouth" all the knowledge he may have attained about life and all the various scenarios that come with it, but the foolish ones...they will tell you everything they know even when they don't have a clue what they are talking about.

 Work steady in all you do...there is actually freedom in an "honest day's work". Don't choose to become lazy, unless your long term objective is to end up some one's slave.

 Have you noticed people who are weighed down with life? there are usually 2 reasons for this: 1. they have a lot of anxiety and 2. they are worried.
 What you have to do is "get in there" and give folks like these an encouraging word...they could really use one!
 In fact, if you have a neighbor who gives good, godly advice...keep close to him...a "piece of good advice" is always beneficial, on the other hand, don't take in advice from someone who enjoys the "evil side" of life, advice from them is meant for one thing...to lead you astray.

 Some people are so lazy they won't even fix their own dinner, let alone for anyone else (who might be hungry).
 But the one who is conscious of others, fixes a meal not just for themselves, but makes extra in case a weary traveller in life stops by and is in need of a warm, home-cooked meal.

 Always choose to live your life after the way of Wisdom, God's Wisdom, for this is the path hat leads to Life!
 There are no darkness, death, or beware signs on this path, instead, this path you seek will bring you to Eternal Life!
