The Sagacious Servant Rules Over The Scandalous Son
Proverbs 17:2
A prudent servant will rule over a disgraceful son
and will share the inheritance as one of the family.
PCdc Commentary
Disgraceful progeny are an embarrassment and of little value to their families.
Trustworthy servants easily rule in their stead and procure their inheritance.
The Lord has blessed my wife and me with two sagacious sons.
Commit And Get Established
Proverbs 16:3
Commit to the Lord whatever you do,
and he will establish your plans.
PCdc Commentary
PLAN is the operative word here.
Make your plan then commit your plan to the Lord.
He will establish it.
Wise Words Enrich While Foolish Words Spoil
Proverbs 15:2
The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge,
but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.
PCdc Commentary
The words of the wise enhance the lives of others.
The words of the foolish spoil the lives of others.
Words once spoken are set in stone.
Carve them wisely.
Fear Of The Lord vs Contempt Of The Lord
Proverbs 14:2
Whoever fears the Lord walks uprightly,
but those who despise him are devious in their ways.
PCdc Commentary
Once again, the theme is “The Fear Of The Lord.”
Do you fear the Lord?
Is your walk upright or deceptive?
The Fruit Of The Lips
Proverbs 13:2
From the fruit of their lips people enjoy good things,
but the unfaithful have an appetite for violence.
PCdc Commentary
Words are the fruit of the lips.
Words can bring good things to enjoy.
An appetite is a desire to eat.
The words of the unfaithful reveal their immoral cravings.
