“Wisdom of Proverbs 12”

 

 1 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
       but he who hates correction is stupid.

Harsh words, tough love, profound wisdom.  You know how a woman freaks when her slip is showing?  That’s what you should feel when you are not liking correction when you do something wrong.  When you hate correction it is like your slip is showing and you should freak out and be embarrassed in front of everyone.

 

4 A wife of noble character is her husband's crown,
       but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones.

Behind every good man is a better woman.  Oh that may not be written in Proverbs but it should be.  Most successful men will let you know that it is because of the patience of love of their wife that they are where they are and if they aren’t married it makes me wonder if their success is only from greed and pride.

 

28 In the way of righteousness there is life;
       along that path is immortality.

And as our first act of righteousness we need to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior to be cleansed and made holy.  There is no righteousness without Jesus.  That would be self righteousness and it is nothing but hot air and loud noise.  Self righteousness leads to death because “you” cannot bring Salvation to the world, through Christ alone is the world saved.
