Good morning. We are back in Proverbs. Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge. We should be learning from our mistakes. If God did not correct us, we would keep making the same mistakes and probably even worse ones. But he who hates reproof is stupid. (I don't think that's a politically correct word; but it is oh so true). A good man will obtain favor from the Lord. But He will condemn a man who devises evil. The root of the righteous will not be moved. After storms you see pictures of huge trees that have been uprooted. I just recently saw a report about that. As you get farther away from the center of the tree, the roots do not go very deep. When the ground gets wet and the wind keeps blowing hard, those roots give way. After a certain point, the center roots can no longer withstand the wind and the tree falls over. However all of our roots go very deep and withstand any storm. And now it's talking about those of you who are wives; an excellent wife is the crown of her husband. For truly you are excellent. Thankfully you are not like this: but she who shames him is as rottenness in his bones. The thoughts of the righteous are just. Not only our actions, but also our thoughts are just. For as a man thinks, so is he. The mouth of the upright will deliver them. What we say matters. We should be speaking forth our deliverance. You get what you say. The children of Israel said "there are giants in the land – we cannot take it". They got exactly what they were saying. Speak your deliverance! And evil man is ensnared by the transgression of his lips, but the righteous will escape from trouble. Are you wanting something good – a man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his words. There it is again; you can have what you say. And then one which is true in general, but is very applicable this political season: The deeds of a man's hands will return to him. You may think you got away with it, but in the end it will all come out. Father thank You that the reader is excellent. He/she speaks forth his/her deliverance, and will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his/her words.
