Pro 19:4, 6, WEALTH MAKES MANY FRIENDS, BUT THE POOR IS SEPARATED FROM HIS FRIEND… Many entreat the favor of the nobility, AND EVERY MAN IS A FRIEND TO ONE WHO GIVES GIFTS.
Wealth draws many, so called friends, yet many of them may not be sincere; lets see what we can get from him/her! But, when riches flee so those these friends! Remember Job, the riches man in the land, but when he lost everything he was left alone!
Job 19:13-14, “He has removed my brothers far from me, And my acquaintances are completely estranged from me. My relatives have failed, And my close friends have forgotten me.
Pro 19:7, All the brothers of the poor hate him; How much more do his friends go far from him! He may pursue them with words, yet they abandon him.
While men abandon the poor and needy, JESUS gave up HIS wealth, in heaven, to seek the poor and needy!
2Co 8:9, FOR YOU KNOW THE GRACE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THAT THOUGH HE WAS RICH, YET FOR YOUR SAKES HE BECAME POOR, THAT YOU THROUGH HIS POVERTY MIGHT BECOME RICH.
Pro 19:11, The discretion of a man makes him SLOW TO ANGER, AND HIS GLORY IS TO OVERLOOK A TRANSGRESSION.
While a raging man rages, a man of understanding and self-control will overlook an offense! It’s not weakness, but true strength!
Luk 23:34, Then JESUS said, “FATHER, FORGIVE THEM, FOR THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY DO.” …
Pro 19:27, CEASE LISTENING TO INSTRUCTION, MY SON, AND YOU WILL STRAY FROM THE WORDS OF KNOWLEDGE.
If we stop seeking the wisdom and knowledge of GOD, sinful man will be led astray by our own perverse thoughts!
2Pe 2:21, FOR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER FOR THEM NOT TO HAVE KNOWN THE WAY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, THAN HAVING KNOWN IT, TO TURN FROM THE HOLY COMMANDMENT DELIVERED TO THEM.
Pro 16:25, There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.
