More Good Stuff from Solomon...Gleanings from Proverbs 28:14-28

Where did Solomon come up with all this stuff...this is really good!! Gleanings from Proverbs 28:14-28...

 " You are truly blessed when you choose to give the Lord the respect He deserves...in your life, and to fear Him with an attitude of worship!...regardless of your circumstances!
 If you choose to be stubborn, hardening your heart on life and people, embracing cruelty as a way to "get even"....You are asking for trouble, the serious kind, or a calamity; whatever it might be...it won't be good.

 A ruler who chooses to ignore his own and to those in dire need is wrong and just flat wicked. You might as well let a hungry lion loose and on the prowl or a Grizzly out looking for a meal.
 And if you are a leader, don't lower yourself to practicing extortion and abusing others, if you stand up to it and put a stop to this kind of behavior, your future can be bright.

 When a man willfully murders someone, and his conscience is "eating at him", causing him to be so full of guilt he just wants to die...let him go.

 Live honestly with integrity, your life will be safe. Choose to be devious and crooked, be ready to take a fall...and maybe even destroyed.

Work and make a living, you'll have plenty on the table,
 Just fantasizing about it...won't get it done.
 Be persistent, work steady, and it will pay you dividends,
 Always going after the latest "get-rich schemes"...won't get you there...God has a better idea...it's called: earning a living.

Having favorites is not a good thing to do...there are even some people who can be bribed for a measly piece of bread.
 People who are stingy are always looking for ways to be rich, but end up broke and penniless.

The bottom-line is this: in the end people appreciate helpful and constructive criticism, much more than some suckin'up, boot-lickin' flattery could ever give.
Here is something else to be observed: anyone who steals from their own mother and father, and then has the audacity to say: "What's wrong with that?"...is nothing more than a low-life.

 Always wanting what you don't have...stirs up trouble, while trusting in the Lord and being grateful what what you do have brings honor, a sense of well-being, and good rewards in life.

Now, if you happen to be one of those that "know it all", all the answers of life abound in you,...that is so stupid!,
 The real winners in life is knowing you need good advice from others in order to have real success.

Here is a fact: Be generous to the poor, and you will never go hungry.
 Turn your back on the poor....hell's coming...your way!

Finally, when corrupt leaders rule the land, the honest ones take cover.
and when these crooks get overthrown and taken out,
the honest ones and those that hold on to integrity as a virtue, will know it's safe to come out.
