Chapter 19: A Wise Wife from the Lord
“A
false witness shall not be unpunished…” (Proverbs 19:5)
If you are a liar you will be
punished.
“…every
man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.” (Proverbs 19:6)
You can have fake friends if you
have money and are willing to give them something… but the minute you stop
giving those fake friends “things” or money, you will lose your friends.
“House
and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent [wise] wife is from
the Lord.” (Proverbs 19:14)
Money or knowledge is a gift that
can be handed down from one man to another. Whoever a WISE WIFE is hard to find
and can only be given to man by the Lord. Respect your wives! Respect their
wisdom and listen to what they have to say… work as equals!
“Hear
counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.” (Proverbs
19:20)
If you hear wisdom and counsel you
will be much better off!
“Cease,
my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of
knowledge.” (Proverbs 19:27)
If you are given wisdom or counsel
that is not leading you down a good path… CEASE from receiving any more
instruction and find someone else to get advice from.
Chapter 20: Don’t Drink
“Wine
is a mocker, strong drink is raging; and whosoever is deceived thereby is not
wise.” (Proverbs 20:1)
The Bible is very clear on alcohol,
IT SHOULD NOT BE CONSUMED! Those who consume alcohol and get drunk are fools. The
LDS church has been very clear for more than 100 years… alcohol is to be used
for cleaning… not for consumption.
“Love
not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be
satisfied with bread.” (Proverbs 20:13)
We need to get what we NEED in
sleep. The amount we need would be about 8 hour’s average. If we only get 6
hours throughout the week and we can sleep in one day a week that is probably
ok. But if we waste our lives sleeping and taking more than we need, we will
not go very far.
