Proverbs Chapter 11

I don't have time, but I'm making time, this is the best chapter so far I think!

1-7
Pride leads to disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. I think thats so hard. When you do something good, you want attention for it right? that was your victory for the world to see......wrong......GOD'S GLORY! Good reminder for me.
Honesty.
Verse 3 says honesty guides good people, but dishonesty destroys treacherous people. I'd say thats a pretty easy choice.
Money doesn't get you any closer to God. Anyone remember that verse about a camel through the eye of the needle? It's that hard.
Godliness:
Godliness rescues us! Just having God-like qualities keeps us safe, woah!

8-20
"The whole city celebrates when the Godly suceed."  I wish that were totally true today...

12:
"It is foolish to belittle one's neighbor, a sensible person keeps quiet."
See chapter 11 verse 19!
Repetition really drives the point home!

16:
"A gracious women gains respect, but ruthless men gain only money, and we know that helps us none!



Have to leave! BYE!
