Proverbs 18:13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
We all have seen people who think they are smarter than they are. They will answer a question before you can get it out and usually it makes them out to be a fool. Only a wise man will wait until the question is asked before he answers. Also the spirit of a man will sustain him through almost any trial. even sometimes when doctors say there is no hope and the patient says “I will not die”, to the amazement of the doctors they heal faster and live longer than the doctors ever imagined. It is called the will to live. But when you heart that is broken sometimes they lose the will to live and they usually do not live long. We need to be aware of these broken people and try to help them regain that reason to live.
Proverbs 18:11 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.
12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.
The people we see here are wealthy and think this is all they need to get into heaven. They flaunt their wealth to a point where people start to ignore them and have nothing to do with them and this is like a wall being constructed between them and the rest of the world. They are very proud of their wealth, and pride goth before a fall. Verse 12 goes on to say that the speech, probably of these same people, becomes destructive which leads to their own demise. Finally though we see that if we humble ourselves before God he will have great love for us and we will also be able to reach to others.Today is the the Lord’s day rejoice and be glad in it and get up and go to church. God has something special for each person that comes to Him asks for what they need. Please attend the the church of your choice and I pray it will be one that teaches the truth of God’s word.
Proverbs 18:10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
This is a verse that is familiar to a lot of Christians but this is where we get our strength, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and protection. The name of the Lord is a place of complete safety if for those that trust in Him. We can see form this that without the Lord Jesus Christ we may not even exist. “The name of the Lord” stands for the manifest perfections of God such as faithfulness, power, mercy and wisdom, on which the righteous rely for security.
Acts 17:28 “For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.”
"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." I John 5:7
