In everyday life, don't you find it it true there are some people you just "love" being with, while others you avoid "like a plague".
I realize sometimes it is just our differences in personalities, but then there are some...
Gleanings from Proverbs 14:14-20
" Here is how I see life working from my viewpoint:
1. If you treat others in a mean way, you get "paid back"...in a mean way.
2. If you decide in your own heart that God and all He has to offer us...is not for you...then you will get results that declares God is not for you as well.
3. If you are faithless by your own choice, and "blow off" trying to honor God or obey His Mighty Commands, it shows up...sometimes "on down the road"...but it will show up...one person has coined it: "The Regretful Results of Life".
Now, on the other hand...
1. If you apply God's Grace to others you meet, you will receive God's Grace in your times of need.
2. If you decide and take God's Commands to your own heart...God takes you into His heart.
3. If you remain faithful and do your best to honor God's Mighty Commands, the blessings of God come directly to you for submitting to those very Commands.
Here is something else to take note of:
The problem with being so gullible in life, in fact some call it being "simple-minded"... is this: you end up believing any and everything somebody tells you.
I have found it better to take a little time and "weigh out" the words you are told, put some thought into it, and consider the course of action needed...before you take any steps.
The reason why is a wise man is cautious, he might even suspect danger just by the way things are presented to him. Then, he will position himself to avoid any possible dangers that may be lurking.
The foolish guy...that's a different story. The word "cautious" is not in his vocabulary, and he is usually short-tempered...especially when things go wrong. For it is in that moment he relies on his own self-confidence, which even feels secure to him...but in reality...it is reckless and takes him down a path called "Regret".
The real thing I learned from "the foolish ones" is: short-tempered people do...short-tempered things. There are no thoughts to support their actions, and the results of all these quick and hot-headed decisions lead to a series of regrets in life as well.
And you know what is even more disgusting?!... a person who actually schemes a plan...to do something evil to another person. People like that have cold hearts...and are hated by those around them...if the truth were told. You can never put any trust in people who act like that.
The bottom line to all this: if you choose, and yes it is a choice...to act stupid in everyday life, eventually, even the clothes you wear will reflect stupidity.
The person who chooses to get a grip on life, to do a "reality-check", will realize it is better to learn prudence, practice how to be wise in everyday life...for then Knowledge will be the crown on their head that sees them through...any situation!
In the end, it is always the same. People who choose to follow the "Ways of Evil" will bow and surrender...in fact some will even crawl, when they come into the presence of those who have chosen a different path, that is, to obey His Mighty Commands, for it will be evident to all the "good" it has brought to the hearts of all those around them.
If your life boils down to consistently saying negative stuff, if all life is to you is one defeat after another, then you truly are poor...and have earned the crown "Loser". And trust me, no one wants to hang around people like that.
Yet if you choose to encourage others, if you can see the"good" in everyday life, and if you put your heart into following the Lord and His Mighty Commands, there simply is no adversity that can overtake you...you truly are rich. People all around will be drawn to you...for they will want what is inside of you!
