Proverbs 10 - Wise and Righteous

 

Proverbs 10- Wise and Righteous

 

Integrity is a mind-set and the willingness to be and do what is wholly and completely right as defined by God, regardless of personal cost and place.

 

Spoiled children often live unproductive lives. Just as good parents exert loving and careful correction on their children (Heb. 12:3-11). Discipline is God’s way to lovingly return His sons and daughters to the right path.

 

The one who fears the Lord will act in conformity to His will; the one who does not fear the Lord will ignore His commands. Longer life comes to those who live as God intended.

 

Wise and righteous are two words that go together, for the wise practice righteousness and the righteous grow in wisdom.

 

The wise bring joy and not grief to their parents. They will take advantage of God-given opportunities and will obey orders. Wise people gather knowledge and share it with others. They also know when to be quiet. They do not jest about sin but are serious about obeying the Lord.

 

The righteous have God’s protection and provision and He blesses them in life, and their works prosper. Their future is secure and joyful.

 

If you are wise and righteous, those traits will be revealed by your words as well as by your works.
