The Path Of Honest People

 

It is much better to get wisdom than gold. It is much better to choose understanding than silver.


The path of honest people takes them away from evil. Those who guard their ways guard their lives.

 

If you are proud, you will be destroyed. If you are proud, you will fall.

 

Suppose you are lowly in spirit and are with those who are beaten down. That's better than sharing stolen goods with those who are proud.

 

If anyone pays attention to what he is taught, he will succeed. Blessed is the person who puts his trust in the Lord.

 

Wise hearts are known for understanding what is right. Pleasant words make people want to learn more.

 

Understanding is like a fountain of life to those who have it. But foolish people are punished for the foolish things they do.

 

Proverbs 16:16-22

 

One of the best ways for a man to love his wife is to understand her. Husbands want to be understood as well. It takes time to get to understand someone. We have to be in their presence and we have to ask questions. No one can really learn the mystery of someone’s heart but we can learn something new every day.

 

Understanding takes time, which is one of the most precious gifts we can give to others.

 

Ask the Lord today to give you the grace to take the time to understand the important people in your life.

 

Listening is an open door to understanding.
