Proverbs, Chapter 15

15:1 A soft answer turns away wrath; But a grievous word stirs up anger.

15:2 The tongue of the wise utters knowledge aright; But the mouth of fools gushes out folly.

15:3 The eyes of Yahweh are in every place, Keeping watch on the evil and the good.

15:4 A gentle tongue is a tree of life; But perverseness in it is a breaking of the spirit.

15:5 A fool despises his father's correction; But he who regards reproof gets prudence.

15:6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure; But in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.

15:7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge; But the heart of the foolish is not so.

15:8 The sacrifice of the wicked is disgusting to Yahweh; But the prayer of the upright is his delight.

15:9 The way of the wicked is disgusting to Yahweh; But he loves him who follows after righteousness.

15:10 There is grievous correction for him who forsakes the way; [And] he who hates reproof will die.

15:11 Sheol and Abaddon are before Yahweh: How much more then the hearts of the sons of man!

15:12 A scoffer does not love to be reproved; He will not go to the wise.

15:13 A glad heart makes a cheerful countenance; But by sorrow of heart the spirit is broken.

15:14 The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge; But the mouth of fools feeds on folly.

15:15 All the days of the afflicted are evil; But he who is of a cheerful heart [has] a continual feast.

15:16 Better is little, with the fear of Yahweh, Than great treasure and turmoil with it.

15:17 Better is a dinner of herbs, where there is love, Than a stalled ox and hatred with it.

15:18 A wrathful man stirs up contention; But he who is slow to anger appeases strife.

15:19 The way of the sluggard is as a hedge of thorns; But the path of the upright is made a highway.

15:20 A wise son makes a glad father; But [a] foolish man despises his mother.

15:21 Folly is joy to him who is void of wisdom; But a man of understanding makes straight his going.

15:22 Where there is no counsel, purposes are disappointed; But in the multitude of counselors they are established.

15:23 A man has joy in the answer of his mouth; And a word in due season, how good it is!

15:24 To the wise the way of life [goes] upward, That he may depart from Sheol beneath.

15:25 Yahweh will root up the house of the proud; But he will establish the border of the widow.

15:26 Evil devices are disgusting to Yahweh; But pleasant words [are] pure.

15:27 He who is greedy of gain troubles his own house; But he who hates bribes will live.

15:28 The heart of the righteous studies to answer; But the mouth of the wicked gushes out evil things.

15:29 Yahweh is far from the wicked; But he hears the prayer of the righteous.

15:30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart; [And] good news make the bones fat.

15:31 The ear that harkens to the reproof of life Will reside among the wise.

15:32 He who refuses correction despises his own soul; But he who harkens to reproof gets understanding.

15:33 The fear of Yahweh is the instruction of wisdom; And before honor [goes] humility.

It should be a great pleasure for each one of us to preach, teach and be a role model for Jesus Christ. Because we were transformed into the image of God and we should shine forth the blessings He has given to us. Your light shouldnot be hidden from other people. It shouls shine forth to all who live with you, eat with you and work with you. God wants to use you for His glory and honor. So many healings will happen when they see your good works and specially your attitude towards them Smile and those who surround you will smile back. A soft answer turns away wrath. Prov. 15.1 This should be the key to your hapiness. Smiling for Jesus and blessing everyone who is with you right now. I am sure God too will smile over your wonderful attitude and actions you show to other people.

 

[Kronenberg]

He who refuses correction despises his own soul. Prov. 15.32  I want to be corrected by the Lord Jesus. Just like the Samaritan woman who had many husbands and the one she was living with was not her husband Jesus told the truth about her life and she believed His word and changed her life in the very minute. She became a missionary for Jesus. She went to town telling everyone what Jesus has done to her and saved her and know her past.  Lord Jesus, correct our errors when we are in the wrong path. Bring us to yourself. We are your children and we love you and praise your holy name. Amen

Thank you Jesus for the wonderful post your people are writing. We are so blessed with so much talent and please Jesus.. use all our talents for your glory and honor specially at church where all kinds of talents are needed to honor and praise your holy name. We can sing songs of praise in the choir, or do solo or play the guitar or the piano. Dear God use each and everyone of us for your glory so others will see in our lives the holy presence of God and glorify your name. Yahweh is far from the wicked. But He hears the prayers of the righteous. Prov. 15.29 We pray for all the wicked people that live around and please Jesus save their souls and bring each one of them to church services and get saved and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit we pray in Jesus name. Amen

 

[Delmer]

As long as you are walking in the light Jesus is there to help you and guide your life. Read the bible every day. Pray for others. Your life will be changed and you will be happy ever after.

 

[Jefferson]

But he who is of cheerful heart has a continual feast.  Prov. 15.15  This should be the picture of all Christians who love God with their whole heart.  Jesus has given us a cheerful heart to shine to others the presence of almighty God in our midst. If you smile the whole world will smile with you.  Let us start giving smiles and blessing to those who come in contact with us on a daily basis.  Blessed Jesus, we want to be happy and enjoy life. Your plan for our lives is not to have depression, anxiety, fear, worry and doubt in our hearts.  That comes from the devil and we should cast him out of our lives.  Fill us with the precious Holy Spirit we pray in Jesus name. Amen
 

 

[Orthon]

  Right there, in the quiet of the front seat, riding along we think of how long are we gona be doing this. Lord Jesus, what is the purpose and plan of You for my life?  I feel so empty. I feel so forsaken. I am lost in this world of busy people and no one has time to talk.  Show me your way.  Show me your love. I need to be on the road to heaven. This world is not my home. I am just passing through. Heaven is my home and I want to be there with Jesus. Come to me I pray and save us. Yahweh is far from the wicked. But He hears the prayers of the righteous. Prov. 15.29  Hear our prayers Oh Lord Jesus. We are your children and need you more than ever before. Come to our hearts and fill us with your holy presence we pray in Jesus name. Amen

In my Fathers house are many mansions.  If it were not so, I would have told you. I go and prepare a place for you that where I am there you may be also. John 14.2  This wonderful promise from Jesus is for all of us who believe in over yonder where we are gona dwell for ever.  So, let not your heart be troubled. Believe in Jesus and His promise will come true right after your die.  We shall not all asleep but we all shall be raised. In a twinkling of an eye. At the last trumphet.  Wonderful Jesus. We have this hope in You. To dwell in paradise for ever and ever. The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge. Prov. 15.14  The words that Jesus has taught us is full of knowledge of hidden things. It is our duty to seek out the deep things of God and those things that we will face right after we die.

 

[Ricketts]

Thank you so much for such a wonderful word that God has given to us to read and obey.  Blessed be the name of the Lord.

 

[Loren]

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not upon thine own understanding. He is our shield and fortres.
