Proverbs 19:22
What a person desires is unfailing love; better to be poor than a liar.
Three blessings of fear
Proverbs 19:23
The fear of the Lord leads to life; then one rests content, untouched by trouble.
Three common classes
Proverbs 19:24-25
A sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he will not even bring it back to his mouth!
Flog a mocker, and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke the discerning, and they will gain knowledge.
A worthless man
Proverbs 19:25-27
Flog a mocker, and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke the discerning, and they will gain knowledge.
Whoever robs their father and drives out their mother is a child who brings shame and disgrace.
Stop listening to instruction, my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge.
Romans 12:10
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. —
"He who toots his own horn plays in a very small band!" A very selfish part of us wants all attention and appreciation to be focused on what we have done, sacrificed, and accomplished. One of the signs of spiritual maturity that Paul lists here, however, is a devotion to others who are our fellow Christians. This means that we genuinely rejoice when others are honored. In fact, we are even more interested in honoring others than in receiving honor ourselves.
Thoughts
- We are not living by faith if we believe how we feel more than we believe what God’s Word says. - Joyce Meyer
- Marvellous are all God’s works; but the greatest delicacy and beauty are to be found among those works least exposed to view. - John Dawson
