December 10 / Proverbs 10

Today is the tenth day in December, so I read Proverbs 10 today.  Lately in Proverbs, wisdom has been calling out to people.  In this chapter we see a contrast between the wise (people who sought after wisdom) and the foolish (those who neglect the call of wisdom).  

I'll just share a few of my favorite Proverbs chapter 10 verses with you today.

...
7The memory of the righteous is blessed,
         But the name of the wicked will rot.

..
9He who walks in integrity walks securely,
         But he who perverts his ways will be found out.
....
12Hatred stirs up strife,
         But love covers all transgressions.
...
16The wages of the righteous is life,
         The income of the wicked, punishment.
...

When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable,
         But he who restrains his lips is wise.

The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver,
         The heart of the wicked is worth little.

....

How's your life?  Are you walking in wisdom or in foolishness?

Wisdom calls out...what is your response?
