words to live by

Proverbs 16 has some really good stuff about life...

vs 1 We gather our thoughts, but the Lord gives the right answer.

vs 2 People may be pure in their own eyes, but the Lord examines the motives.

vs 3 Commit your work to the Lord, & then your plans will succeed.

vs 8 It is better to be poor & godly than rich & dishonest.

vs 9 We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.

vs 18 Pride does before destruction, & haughtiness before the fall.

vs 19 It's better to live humbly with the poor than to share plunder with the proud.

vs 20 Those who listen to instruction will prosper; those who trust the Lord will be happy.

vs 31 Gray hair is the crown of glory; it is gained by living a godly life. (dan note: This one made me laugh!)

vs 32 It is better to be patient than powerful; it is better to have self control than to conquer a city.

vs 33 We may throw the dice, but the Lord determines how they fall.

SO many of these speak to where I am as we walk toward living & ministering in Blairsville.
