Helping Up Mission Blog: Proverb for the Day 14:15 -- Felix, Oscar & the Serpent in the Garden?!?
http://helpingupmission.blogspot.com/2015/08/proverb-for-day-1415-felix-oscar.html
Welcome to Helping Up Mission's Blog. Proverb for the Day 14:15 - Felix, Oscar and the Serpent in the Garden? The simple believe anything, but the prudent give thought to their steps. Both "the simple" and "the prudent" are regular characters in Proverbs. But this is the first of four times they're directly contrasted - the second being verse 18 of this same chapter. These two characters are totally opposite. One is swayed by anything and the other makes choices based on their own experience, knowled...

http://helpingupmission.blogspot.com/2015/08/proverb-1110-theyre-watching-us.html
Welcome to Helping Up Mission's Blog. Proverb 11:10 - They're Watching Us! When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices; when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy. Here, again, are two of the most frequently mentioned and contrasted characters in Proverbs - "the righteous" and "the wicked." The focus of this wise saying is what others think and feel about them and their choices. They're watching and they do have feelings about it all. So let's decide to make an impact.for the good!

Welcome to Helping Up Mission's Blog. Proverb for the Day 7:24-27 - Don't Think It.Won't Do It! 24 Now then, my sons, listen to me; pay attention to what I say. 25 Do not let your heart turn to her ways or stray into her paths. 26 Many are the victims she has brought down; her slain are a mighty throng. 27 Her house is a highway to the grave, leading down to the chambers of death. Verses 24 and 25 give two sets of commands, beginning with "my sons" - a familiar refrain in the first part of Proverbs.

Helping Up Mission Blog: Proverb for the Day 10:16 -- Take It to the Bank!
http://helpingupmission.blogspot.com/2015/08/proverb-for-day-1016-take-it-to-bank.html
Welcome to Helping Up Mission's Blog. Proverb for the Day 10:16 - Take It to the Bank! The wages of the righteous is life, but the earnings of the wicked are sin and death. Here is another wise saying contrasting "the righteous" and "the wicked." But these two parallel lines of Hebrew poetry also offer a contrast between "wages" vs. "earnings" as well as "life" vs. "sin and death.". But right thinking and good choices can produce an abundant everyday "life to the full" here and now (John 10:10). There's ...

Helping Up Mission Blog: Proverb for the Day 13:16 -- Act with Knowledge vs. Expose their Folly...Our Choice!
http://helpingupmission.blogspot.com/2015/08/proverb-for-day-1316-act-with-knowledge.html
Welcome to Helping Up Mission's Blog. Proverb for the Day 13:16 - Act with Knowledge vs. Expose their Folly.Our Choice! All who are prudent act with knowledge, but fools expose their folly. This proverb is about two very different characters and their lifestyles - "all who act prudent" and "fools.". The "prudent" are those who have a sense of what's going on. I like to call it "street smarts.". Fools" aren't people who are mentally deficient. The Biblical term represents moral deficiency. Back on My Feet.

Helping Up Mission Blog: Proverb for the Day 12:13 -- Just Stop Talking...and Escape!
http://helpingupmission.blogspot.com/2015/08/proverb-for-day-1213-just-stop.html
Welcome to Helping Up Mission's Blog. Proverb for the Day 12:13 - Just Stop Talking.and Escape! Evildoers are trapped by their sinful talk, and so the innocent escape trouble. Typical lines of parallel Hebrew poetry, this wise saying contrasts "evildoers" and "the innocent." But, as is frequent in Proverbs, words are at the center of this story. Being "righteous" in thoughts and attitudes suggests a couple of things. First, they probably don't create a bunch of problems for themselves. Posted by HUM Blog.
