Proverbs 16:20-26 – Whoever gives heed to instruction
prospers, and blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord. The wise in heart are called discerning,
and gracious words promote instruction. Prudence is a fountain of life to the
prudent, but folly brings punishment to fools. The hearts of the wise make
their mouths prudent, and their lips promote instruction. Gracious words are a
honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. There is a way that
appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death. The appetite of laborers
works for them; their hunger drives them on.
Proverbs
3:5-6 – Trust in
the Lord with all your heart and lean not on
your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and
he will make your paths straight.
Ephesians 4:28 – Anyone who has
been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that
they may have something to share with those in need.
Application:
