Wisdom for 2025 – – Proverbs 14- “The Upright & the Wicked”

• The wise, and the foolish are contrasted. A wise woman is a great blessing to a family.

Here are some advantages of having “the fear of the Lord”:
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Psalms 111:10 (NASB)
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.” Proverbs 1:7 (NASB)
“By the fear of the Lord one keeps away from evil.” Proverbs 16:6 (NASB)
“The fear of the Lord leads to life.” Proverbs 19:23 (NASB)

• But if you live only for yourself – your life loses its meaning. Instead of avoiding people, we should serve others and share our faith.

 

• Wisdom comes to those who apply God's Word to their lives and seek out godly counselors.

• Fools don’t take sin seriously. When conviction comes knocking on our door – we need to answer.
   
  Don’t be fooled into thinking that if you are “good” that you can become “good enough”.
   
  
• What plans do you desire? Is it for “good” or is it for “evil”? Kindness and truth are the reward of those who devise good.
• 
  
• A characteristic of God is that He is “slow to anger”. Therefore, by being “slow to anger” you emulate God’s character.
  
  “Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a good conscience, desiring to conduct ourselves honorably in all things.” Hebrews 13:18 (NASB)
