Humility and Glory

compiled by Ben

I read Proverbs 16-22.

"Fear-of-God is a school in skilled living -
first you learn humility, then you experience glory." (Proverbs 15:33)

"How can a young man keep his way pure?
By living according to your word [...]
I have hidden your word in my heart that
I might not sin against you." (Psalm 119: 9, 11)

"Mercy to the needy is a loan to God,
and God pays back those loans in full." (Proverbs 19:7)

"The wicked get buried alive by their loot
because they refuse to use it to help others." (Proverbs 21:7)

"Generous hands are blessed hands
because they give bread to the poor." (Proverbs 22:9)

"Words satisfy the mind as much as fruit does the stomach;
good talk is as gratifying as a good harvest." (Proverbs 18:20)

"Do your best, prepare for the worst -
then trust God to bring the victory." (Proverbs 21:31)
