Proverbially Speaking

In the 2008, volume 46, number 3 edition of The Sword and Staff publication, comes the following proverbs of wisdom (appropriate Scriptures and related articles have been added):

• Your future is bright if you are walking in the light (1 John 1:7).

• Life by the yard is hard, but by the foot and the inch, it becomes a cinch (so, live one day at a time, Matthew 6:34).

• There is no one so blind as the person who will not see (John 9:39-41).

• Interesting people are people who are interested (interested in things, people, happenings, etc.).

• For a life that has been well-lived, dying is like saying “amen” at the end of a beautiful prayer (Revelation 14:13).

• A generous and liberal person finds that he is treated accordingly (Ecclesiastes 11:1-2; cf. Proverbs 19:17; Matthew 10:42).

• A heart warmed by the gospel of Christ will never be cold and indifferent toward others (1 Thessalonians 1).

• Be kind for kindness begets kindness (each kind after its kind).

• By having second thoughts, many times we can be saved from the folly of the first ones (Matthew 21:28-32).

• Carrying a grudge is a heavy load.
