Proverbs 10

The verses that stood out to me the most here were the ones on wisdom resulting in less quantity of speech and better quality.

"The words of a good person give life, likea fountain of water" v 11

The wise don't tell everything they know v14

If you talk alot you are sure to sin; if you are wise, you will keep quiet v19

The words of a good person are like pure siliver v20

Good people's words will help many others v21

Good people know the right thing to say v32

Makes me realize how far from wisdom I really am, but how much I desire her discretion and grace.

he who gathers in summer is a wise son; he who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame

just made me think of the comparison Christ made between us and workers of the field

a while ago we felt like we wanted to work directly for the kingdom, there are plenty of vacancies and places available to people who want to work the field... may i be the son who is gathering in the summer... now for God...

just because we are saved doesn't mean we should just sit back... we should find the willing heart to be part of the harvest
