19 As water reflects a face,
so a man’s heart reflects the man.

Our actions show the world who we are, and our eyes show how we feel deep inside. What is the world seeing in you?

1 Do not boast about tomorrow,
for you do not know what a day may bring forth.

Do you have a story of a time when you boasted, and something didn’t work out as you planned? You should share it.

2 All a man’s ways seem right to him,
but the LORD weighs the heart.

We often act with good intentions, but if others are not shown mercy, is it valuable in God’s eyes? See Hosea 6:6 also

6 For I desire mercy, not sacrifice,
and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings.

18 Discipline your son, for in that there is hope;
do not be a willing party to his death.

Is there more satisfaction in things easily earned, or in the things that require effort?

17 He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD,
and he will reward him for what he has done.

Which investment is better, your 401k (or 403b) or something that isn’t determined by the economy?

18 Pride goes before destruction,
a haughty spirit before a fall.

When pride overwhelms us, the world to revolves around us? If we are obsessed about ourselves, how can we help others.

25 A truthful witness saves lives,
but a false witness is deceitful.

Love your neighbor as yourself is reflected in this Proverb. The truth may hurt, but in time everyone benefits.

12There is a way that seems right to a man,
but in the end it leads to death.

In this world Y R good things condemned and bad things worshiped? Why do we ignore truth and buy the lie?

18 He who ignores discipline comes to poverty and shame,
but whoever heeds correction is honored.

Tell about a time U were corrected. In hindsight, can U can see God’s guidance.

Just 4 fun. If you break down the word Guidance, you can get: God, U and I dance. Just something I thought I’d mention since I love playing with words.

10 “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,
and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

See the progression from fear to understanding?  The fear, it should be out of respect, not make people avoid Him.
