SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY! PROVERBS 18: 15-24
The Lord despises those who say that bad is good and good is bad. It is senseless to pay tuition to educate a rebel who has no heart for truth. A true friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need. It is poor judgment to countersign another’s note, to become responsible for his debts. Sinners love to fight; boasting is looking for trouble. An evil man is suspicious of everyone and tumbles into constant trouble. It’s no fun to be a rebel’s father. A cheerful heart does good like medicine, but a broken spirit makes one sick. It is wrong to accept a bribe to twist justice. Wisdom is the main pursuit of sensible men, but a fool’s goals are at the ends of the earth!
