walK with THE Wise ~ And All the Rest ~

Einstein was, incontestably, a brilliant man.

He thought the most important thoughts were the ones that were God's thoughts,

and according to this quote, he wanted to know all of them.

While we will never exhaust the possibilities of all of our infinite God's thoughts,

we can make sure we know the thoughts He has shared with us.

Proverbs 12 is chock full of them.

Here are a few - and this list is by no means exhaustive!

to love discipline means to love knowledge

hating discipline and correction is another way to say "Stupidity!"

agreeable and pleasant people promote bounty and beauty from God

yet evil schemers provoke God's condemnation and judgment  

when the righteous make plans, the intent of their heart is right

when the wicked advise, their intent is deceitful, misleading and illusory

an evil man's words are like traps designed to injure or kill

an upright man's words rescue and save

wicked are unstable and will be destroyed

righteous build in a firm foundation

prudence and wisdom are praised

twisted and contorted thoughts are dangerous and detested 

better to be unimportant and think lowly of self but having your needs met

pretending to be important and doing without what is needed is ridiculous

righteous care for that over which God has given dominion

questionable or impure intent renders any kindness of the wicked cruel

work is rewarded, brings provision

dreamers who only chase dreams instead of working will lack 

our sinful words will find us out

innocent words never shame

fools always think they are incontestably right all the time

the wise realize there is so much they don't know and seek that knowledge

fools are easily annoyed

a wise man does not let himself be bothered by an insult

honest witnesses speak truth

false witnesses speak lies

reckless words damage and injure

careful words help and heal

truth never ends

lies dissolve, destroying quickly all that is built on them

joy showers down on those who encourage peace

the discerning do not tell all

the fool impulsively tells any and everything that comes to mind

hard work rises to the top

laziness leads to a loss of liberty

worry is a heavy burden

kindness helps lift burdens

the righteous are discerning in friendship choices

the wicked are always making wrong decisions

good men receive life

follow good men to discover that path
