Proverbs for Everyone (Part 10)

For some reason today I am applying all this wisdom to stewardship. We certainly should be wise stewards with our financial resources.

1. Do not seek revenge, Let God do that (Pro. 28:23)
2. Do not profane the holy. (Pro. 20:25)
3. Haste leads to want. (Pro 21:5)
4. A gift will suppress anger. (Pro. 21:14)
5. Be sure you can afford the pleasure you seek. (Pro 21:17)
6. Do not mock. (Pro 22:10)
7. Keep a good name (Pro 22:1)
8. Help the helpless. (Pro 25:28)
9. Practice self-control. (Pro 25:28)
10. Do not go with an angry man. (Pro 22:24-25)

Let me share a few bullet points that might help you think about the money applications here in.

• Getting even is costly
• Giving is a sacred act of obedience
• Slow down the buying
• Forgiveness is a precious gift
• Debt is a tremendous burden
• Financial woes are never a joke
• Greedy and selfish are not good reputations
• Help generously
• Spendaholics beware.
• Debt collection is never easy.

Very thought provoking. What do you think?
