Proverbs 10

A wise child makes his father glad while the stupid actions of a child makes his mother sad. I want the be the child that makes my father and mother glad. I want to live a life of wisdom. I pray that my soul is good, honest and diligent. I pray that I do what is right in the due season. I want to live honestly with confidence. A wise heart takes orders, the mouth of a good person is deep and life giving. Love stops arguments. Wisdom is in the person of insight. A wise person accumulate knowledge, while a know it all talks too much and wastes it. I seek to live a life of discipline. One where my words are wisely measured and said on cue. I want my aspirations to be pure and humble, that when my life ends it is celebrated. I want to stand firm, grounded in goodness. "Good people last -- they can't be moved" (30). My only wisdom pour forth from my mouth like a fountain. Reading the proverbs and using them as a lens to view my life, I know that I don't use my words to only speak wisdom. There is far too much in my vocabulary that needs to be purged. I don't mean swear words. I don't see myself as a gossip either. But there are things I say that should not be said. I pray for wisdom. I pray I know what needs to be said and when it needs to be said. The proverbs are so rich with how to do this. I pray that my eyes, ears and heart are open to embrace this beautiful lifestyle.
