“Poverty and disgrace come to those who ignore discipline, but the one who accepts correction will be honored.
Desire fulfilled is sweet to the taste, but to turn from evil is detestable to fools.
The one who walks with the wise will become wise, but a companion of fools will suffer harm.”
Proverbs 13:18-20 CSB
How does my life fit into these categories? Lord, give me wisdom:
“Poverty and disgrace come to those who ignore discipline, but the one who accepts correction will be honored.”
I don’t want poverty and disgrace, but I do want to be honored…
“Desire fulfilled is sweet to the taste, but to turn from evil is detestable to fools.”
I don’t want to be a fool and I want to avoid sin…
“The one who walks with the wise will become wise, but a companion of fools will suffer harm.”
I don’t want to suffer trials but I do want to be wise…
Lord, help me to see how todays thoughts, decisions and actions lead to who I am tomorrow…or in 20 years!
