A proverb a day: Proverbs 31:4-7 -Wisdom on drinking

Posted by Lance Lawshe in Bible, Inspirational, Toledo on December 31, 2008

Many people try to find justification for drinking when they say, “Jesus turned the water into wine.”  And though he did, I don’t think he meant to give excuse to drunkeness.

On today I find this a fitting proverb.  A day that many people will celebrate the new year to come and forget about all past failures of 2008.  Just remember after reading this proverb to take head and celebrate safely.

“And it is not for kings, O Lemuel, to guzzle wine.  Rulers should not crave liquor.  For if they drink, they may forget their duties and be unable to give justice to those who are oppressed.  Liquor is for the dying, and wine for those in deep depression.  Let them drink to forget their poverty and remember their troubles no more.”  Proverbs 31:4-7 NLT

Are you dying?

Are you in deep depression?

Be wise.

A proverb a day: Proverbs 30:10 -Slander gets you no where.

Posted by Lance Lawshe in Bible, Inspirational, Work on December 30, 2008

“Never slander a person to his employer.  If you do, the person will curse you, and you will pay for it.”  Proverbs 30:10 NLT

I think in the course of our living we for the most part are trying to make ourselves look better.  Getting degrees, big homes, fancy cars, better positions in life.  But the worst thing you could do is gain these wonderful positions in life by someone else’s downfall. 

Just some advice.  If it is not life or death, keep your mouth shut, you’ll get further ahead in the long run.

Be wise.
