Watch Your Tongue – Proverbs [21:17]-31

Thank you for joining us for our 5 days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. This is Day 461 of our trek, and today is Wisdom Wednesday. Every Wednesday along life’s trails we dig for the nuggets of wisdom that are found within the book of Proverbs. Today we will explore the 2nd half of Chapter 21.

We are broadcasting from our studio at The Big House in Marietta, Ohio. We are starting to settle into a routine here after consolidating households. Between the falling leaves, clearing fallen branches from a heavy storm from last week, unpacking of our household items, and completing our normal client work, we have plenty to keep us busy each day.

The leaves continue to change and then fall, as the temperatures cool down to a normal autumn range. The deer, woodpeckers, squirrels, and hawks that we see out our windows are all preparing for the coming of winter. In the same manner, we need to prepare for each changing season of our lives. In every season of life, we need to seek wisdom, insight, and understanding both from God’s Word and from other wise individuals. Let us not forget our own preparations as we break camp for our trek today, and let us explore the nuggets of wisdom found in the second half of Proverbs 21 where we will learn to…

Watch Your Tongue

Let’s start our trek with verse 17.

17 Those who love pleasure become poor;
those who love wine and luxury will never be rich.

While there is nothing wrong with occasionally relaxing and enjoying the pleasures of life, if it becomes our focus, to the detriment of our work, then it will lead to poverty. In the same manner when we are consumed with vices and things instead of impacting the lives of others, then we will never become wealthy.

 

18 The wicked are punished in place of the godly,
and traitors in place of the honest.

There are certain precepts and practices that we must adhere to that are in accordance with God’s Word. If we choose not to, then we will suffer the consequences of our choices. If we choose to live godly and honestly, then we will be rewarded for our choices.

 

19 It’s better to live alone in the desert
than with a quarrelsome, complaining wife.

While the context of this verse references a quarrelsome, complaining wife, it can be equally true of a husband. While I do not have personal experience with this issue, I have seen couples that are so negative and choose to argue all the time. I can only imagine that it would be easier to live alone than in a contentious marriage.

 

20 The wise have wealth and luxury,
but fools spend whatever they get.

The reason the wise have wealth and luxury is that they are frugal and prudent in their spending habits. When we honestly analyze our lives and our spending habits, it is evident that there are very few true needs in our lives. Most of what we have are wants. The difference is that fools will spend all that they earn and not invest or save. Many will even go into debt for that which is not a necessity. In doing so, they make themselves perpetually poor.

Wealth - Tongue

 

21 Whoever pursues righteousness and unfailing love
will find life, righteousness, and honor.

What we think about we pursue. When what we pursue is in line with God’s precepts, such as living right and with unconditional love for others, we will live a rich and satisfying life.

 

22 The wise conquer the city of the strong
and level the fortress in which they trust.

A wise person understands that human strongholds will never fully protect or bring peace. The wise will live with victory in their lives and confound or thwart those who think that they are strong within themselves. The strong rely on their riches, which they think is their fortress.

 

23 Watch your tongue and keep your mouth shut,
and you will stay out of trouble.

Many times within the book of Proverbs Solomon warns us about talking too much and when it is not appropriate. This is obviously a trait that many struggle with. Here we are encouraged to watch what we say and preferably not speak unless it is needed. If we do this, then we will stay out of trouble that we might otherwise experience.

Watch your tongue

 

24 Mockers are proud and haughty;
they act with boundless arrogance.

Those who mock God and others made in His image show their pride and arrogance. They are so wrapped up in themselves that it consumes them.

 

25 Despite their desires, the lazy will come to ruin,
for their hands refuse to work.

The laws of planting and harvesting once again are evident in this verse. Those who are poor desire to be wealthy, but they are so unmotivated and lazy that they ruin themselves. If a person chooses not to work, then he will never see his outlook change.

 

26 Some people are always greedy for more,
but the godly love to give!

You can tell what a person is truly like by his or her generosity to others. Some are stingy and selfish, and their lives are generally poor, both in wealth and attitude or outlook. On the other hand, when you see a person who loves to help others both materially and physically, his or her life reflects true riches in both areas also.

 

27 The sacrifice of an evil person is detestable,
especially when it is offered with wrong motives.

Tied somewhat to the previous verse, if a person’s heart is not loving for others, even when he shares his wealth, it is of no value because it is offered with wrong motives.

 

28 A false witness will be cut off,
but a credible witness will be allowed to speak.

In a proper hearing in a court of law or within a debate, a person who is speaking lies should not be allowed to continue. Contrary to this is a person who speaks the truth is allowed to continue with his or her testimony.

 

29 The wicked bluff their way through,
but the virtuous think before they act.

It is soon evident when a person does not really know what he or she is talking about. The individual is hasty in his or her decisions, often making mistakes and failing. An honorable person thinks and then plans before taking action so that the chances of success are greatly increased.

Watch your tongue2

 

30 No human wisdom or understanding or plan
can stand against the Lord.

31 The horse is prepared for the day of battle,
but the victory belongs to the Lord.

These last two verses are connected in their message. God is in control, and no amount of human scheming, planning, or effort will stand if not permitted by God. Although we should plan and prepare, it should be done with wisdom, insight, and understanding. Even with our best efforts, God ultimately will control the outcome of our plans.

 

The nuggets of wisdom that we gathered in verses 17-31 of Proverbs 21 provide more tasty morsels of wisdom, insight, and understanding. Regardless of your faith walk, if the precepts in Proverbs are followed, your life will be rich and satisfying. Take them and plant them in your heart so that you will reap a harvest of goodness.

Tomorrow we will hike another short trail of Wisdom Unplugged and will discover an inspirational wisdom quote. So encourage your friends and family to join us, and then come along with us tomorrow for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.

That will finish our trek for today. As you enjoy your daily dose of wisdom, we ask you to help us grow Wisdom-Trek by sharing with your family and friends through email, Facebook, Twitter, or in person and inviting them to come along with us each day. I would challenge you today to take just one precept that we learn today in Proverbs and commit yourself to applying it to your life.

Thank you for allowing me to be your guide, mentor, and most of all your friend as I serve you through the Wisdom-Trek podcast and journal.

As we take this trek together, let us always:

  1. Live Abundantly (Fully)
  2. Love Unconditionally
  3. Listen Intentionally
  4. Learn Continuously
  5. Lend to others Generously
  6. Lead with Integrity

Be Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise – Wisdom Unplugged

Healthy Wealthy WiseThank you for joining us for our 5 days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. This is day 460 of our trek, and it is Tuesday and time for our 3-minute mini-trek called Wisdom Unplugged. This short nugget of wisdom includes an inspirational quote with a little additional content for today’s trek. Consider this your vitamin supplement of wisdom each Tuesday and Thursday. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget…

Today’s quote is a well-known one from Benjamin Franklin who tells us, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.”

Quotes such as this one are engrained in our minds, but are they factual? Although there was not as much medical evidence to support this quote when Ben Franklin originally said it, there is a magnitude of evidence in today’s medical journals and practices that prove this is factual.

Although there will always be exceptions to this saying, we now know that a person who gets adequate sleep by getting to bed at a reasonable time is generally healthier and wealthier. Because of this, they are also wiser. Proper sleep, along with exercise and proper nutrition, will truly give you an advantage when the opportunities of life are presented to you. Your body, mind, and soul all need adequate sleep to rebuild, reenergize, and recharge. If you rob yourself of proper sleep, you will not be able to make wise decisions, which will lead to poverty and poor health.

When a person’s priorities are out of wack, it is evident physically. When a person does not get adequate sleep, their eyes are the windows that tell the story. As Jesus taught us in Matthew 6:21-23, “Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.  ‘Your eye is like a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is filled with light.  But when your eye is unhealthy, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is!’”

That’s a wrap for today’s Wisdom Unplugged. If you enjoy these quotes, I have created and published a searchable database of over 10,000 quotes that I have collected for many years. If you would like access to my database of inspirational quotes, the link is available on the main page of Wisdom-Trek.com.

Day 459 – 10 Things Money Can’t Buy

Welcome to Day 459 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

10 Things That Money Can’t Buy

Thank you for joining us for our 5 days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. This is Day 459 of our trek, and today is Motivation Monday. Every Monday we hike the trails of life that will encourage and motivate us to live rich and satisfying lives this week.  Today let us explore “10 Things Money Can’t Buy.”

Motivation Monday - Money

We are broadcasting from our studio at The Big House in Marietta, Ohio. Each evening as we are unpacking boxes, cleaning cupboards, and clearing closets, we continue to decide what we will keep and what we will give away. This moving project will certainly keep us occupied for several weeks to come. We are taking our time and doing our best to enjoy the process.

I am recording this before the weekend, but my plan for the weekend is to consolidate the items in our garage so that we can have another stall for our car. It is an open five stall garage fashioned after a carriage house, but we have lawn equipment, a small tractor, and other outdoor items stored in it.

We will also be going to church with my Dad and celebrating his 86th birthday on Sunday. God has been gracious to us as Dad is still in relatively good health and certainly good spirits. Being able to invest time with Dad is always a blessing. Time together with those that we love is one of the many things that no amount of money can buy.  So the title of our trek for today is…

10-things money cant-buy-1-638

10 Things That Money Can’t Buy

Birthdays and holidays are excellent occasions to reflect on our priorities and to focus on what is truly valuable in our lives. On our trek today, we will explore unique opportunities and make an introspective analysis of our real values, principles, and beliefs. One of the best ways to gain wisdom is to take advice from those individuals who show wisdom in their lives. For each of the 10 things that money can’t buy, I will use a quote from a wise person to allow us to reflect appropriately.

# 1. Health

Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived. – Dalai Lama

# 2. Love

If you want to distinguish between those who love you unreservedly, and those who love your money, try losing all your money. – Jordi Alemany

# 3. Happiness

Money has never made man happy, nor will it, there is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more of it one has, the more one wants. – Benjamin Franklin

# 4. Integrity

To give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity. – Douglas Adams

Money - integrity

# 5. Respect

Money is your means of survival. The verdict you pronounce upon the source of your livelihood is the verdict you pronounce upon your life. If the source is corrupt, you have damned your own existence. Did you get your money by fraud? By pandering to men’s vices or men’s stupidity? By catering to fools, in the hope of getting more than your ability deserves? By lowering your standards? By doing work you despise for purchasers you scorn? If so, then your money will not give you a moment’s or a penny’s worth of joy. Then all the things you buy will become, not a tribute to you, but a reproach; not an achievement, but a reminder of shame. Then you’ll scream that money is evil. Evil, because it would not pinch-hit for your self-respect? Evil, because it would not let you enjoy your depravity? Is this the root of your hatred of money? – Ayn Rand

# 6. Peace of Mind

Money cannot buy peace of mind. It cannot heal ruptured relationships, or build meaning into a life that has none. – Richard M. DeVos

# 7. Ethics

It’s good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it’s good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure that you haven’t lost the things that money can’t buy. – George Lorimer

money ethical.traditions

# 8. Education

Humans aren’t as good as we should be in our capacity to empathize with feelings and thoughts of others, be they humans or other animals on Earth. So maybe part of our formal education should be training in empathy. Imagine how different the world would be if, in fact, that were ‘reading, writing, arithmetic, empathy.’ – Neil deGrasse Tyson

# 9. Intelligence

The bottom line is, I didn’t return to Apple to make a fortune. I’ve been very lucky in my life and already have one. When I was 25, my net worth was $100 million or so. I decided then that I wasn’t going to let it ruin my life. There’s no way you could ever spend it all, and I don’t view wealth as something that validates my intelligence. – Steve Jobs

# 10. Spiritual Enlightenment

Money can buy a house, but not a home. It can buy a bed, but not sleep. It can buy a clock, but not time. It can buy a book, but not knowledge. It can buy blood, but not health, so you see; money is not everything in life. – Unknown

1 Timothy 6:17 sums it up best, “Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment.”

Money Ethics

As we end our trek for today, invest some time reflecting on all the wonderful and special things in life that you can’t buy with money. Focus on those items and then the amount of money that you need will always be available.

Tomorrow’s short trek is part of our Wisdom Unplugged series that we are now hiking on Tuesdays and Thursdays. These 3-minute wisdom supplements will assist you in becoming healthy, wealthy, and wise throughout the entire week. So encourage your friends and family to join us, and then come along tomorrow for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.

Day 458 – Failure or Success on Life’s Trek – Philosophy (8)

Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy

Welcome to Day 458 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

Failure or Success on Life’s Trek – Philosophy Part 8

Thank you for joining us for our 5 days per week wisdom and legacy podcast. This is Day 458 of our trek, and today is Philosophy Friday. Every Friday we ponder some of the basic truths and mysteries of life and how they can impact us in creating our living legacy. Each Friday we are in a multi-week trek as we explore the teachings from some of my virtual mentors, such as Jim Rohn, Zig Ziglar, and Earl Nightingale.

The core of our current trek is based primarily on Jim Rohn’s book The Five Major Pieces to the Life Puzzle. I have learned a considerable amount from reading and re-reading this book on my own trek of life, and I trust that it will benefit you also. Keeping with the continuity of Wisdom-Trek, I will be adapting it to The Five Trails on Life’s Trek.

Failure or Success

We are broadcasting from our studio at The Big House in Marietta, Ohio. Our client workload has been brisk this week, so the unpacking of what we brought from our Charlotte home will probably take several weeks.

The leaves are starting to turn colors in southeastern Ohio. The view from our 2nd story office windows certainly provides a beautiful backdrop for working each day. As the actual seasons change, so do the seasons of our lives.

This is why it is so important that we Develop a Powerful Personal Philosophy. If you have missed the past few Philosophy Friday treks, it would be good to go back and review them to get caught up on our progress so far. We have a lot of ground to cover today, so let’s break camp and continue on the first trail of this extended trek as we cover.

success-or-failure

Failure or Success on Life’s Trek – Philosophy Part 8

As a reminder, our overall extended trek will cover these five trails:

  1. Philosophy
  2. Attitude
  3. Activity
  4. Results
  5. Lifestyle

Last week on our hike we focused on the importance of the decision-making process, which is so crucial for creating a powerful personal philosophy. When we want to improve our lives in any area, it is beneficial to learn from what causes both failures and successes in our lives. We will first look at:

1. The Formula for Failure

Failure is not a single, catastrophic event. You do not fail overnight. Failure is the inevitable result of an accumulation of poor thinking and poor choices. To put it more simply:

· Failure is nothing more than a few errors in judgment repeated every day.

Why would someone make an error in judgment and then be so foolish as to repeat it every day? The answer is because he or she does not think that it matters.

On their own, your daily acts do not seem that important. A minor oversight, a poor decision, or a wasted hour generally doesn’t result in an instant and measurable impact. More often than not, you will escape from any immediate consequences of your deeds.

As an example, if you have not bothered to read a single book in the past ninety days, this lack of discipline does not seem to have any immediate impact on your life. Since nothing drastic happened to you after the first ninety days, you repeat this error in judgment for another ninety days, and on and on, it goes. Why? Because it doesn’t seem to matter. This is a great danger. Far worse than not reading the books is not even realizing that it matters!

Far worse than not reading the books is not even realizing that it matters!

Tweet This

If you eat too many of the wrong foods, you are contributing to a future health problem, but the seeming joy of the moment overshadows the consequence of the future. It does not seem to matter. If you smoke too much or drink too much, then you go on making these poor choices year after year after year because…it doesn’t seem to matter. The pain and regret of these errors in judgment have only been delayed for a future time. Consequences are seldom instant; instead, they accumulate until the inevitable day of reckoning finally arrives, and the price must be paid for your poor choices — choices that didn’t seem to matter.

Failure or success2

Failure’s most dangerous attribute is its subtlety. In the short term, those little errors don’t seem to make any difference. You do not seem to be failing. In fact, sometimes these accumulated errors in judgment occur throughout a period of great joy and prosperity in your life. Since nothing terrible happens to you, since there are no instant consequences to capture your attention, you simply drift from one day to the next, repeating the errors, thinking the wrong thoughts, listening to the wrong voices, and making the wrong choices. The sky did not fall in on you yesterday. Therefore the act was probably harmless. Since it seemed to have no measurable consequence, it is probably safe to repeat.

You must gain a better understanding of the laws of planting and harvesting. If at the end of the day when you realized that you made your first error in judgment the sky had fallen in on you, you undoubtedly would have taken immediate steps to ensure that the act would never be repeated again. Like the child who places his hand on a hot burner despite his parents’ warnings, you would have had an instantaneous experience accompanying your error in judgment.

Success or failure

Unfortunately, failure does not shout out its warnings as your parents once did. This is why it is imperative to refine your philosophy in order to be able to make better choices. With a powerful, personal philosophy guiding your every step, you become more aware of your errors in judgment and more aware that each error really does matter. As Galatians 5:9 tells us, “This false teaching is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough!”

2. The Formula For Success

We will just glance up the trail for the Formula for Success and then continue our hike next week. Like the formula for failure, the formula for success is easy to follow:

· Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines practiced every day. 

Now here is an interesting question worth pondering over this next week: How can you change the errors in the formula for failure into the disciplines required in the formula for success? The answer is by making the future an important part of our current philosophy.

Both success and failure involve future consequences, namely the inevitable rewards or unavoidable regrets resulting from past activities. If this is true, why don’t more people take the time to ponder the future? The answer is simple. They are so caught up in the current moment that it doesn’t seem to matter. The problems and the rewards of today are so absorbing to most people that they never pause long enough to think about tomorrow.

Success-Failure Curve

Let me ask you this question: What if you did develop a new discipline to take just a few minutes every day to look a little further down the road?  You would then be able to foresee the impending consequences of your current conduct.

Armed with that valuable information, you would be able to take the necessary action to change your errors into new success oriented disciplines. In other words, by disciplining yourself to see the future in advance, you would be able to change your thinking, amend your errors, and develop new habits to replace the old. Invest some time this next week considering what minor errors in judgment repeated every day you can turn into simple disciplines practiced every day. As Proverbs 2:11 tells us, “Wise choices will watch over you. Understanding will keep you safe.”

We are deliberately taking our trek slowly as we ponder How to Develop a Powerful Personal Philosophy on our continued hike up the Trail of Philosophy today. This is not an easy hike to make. It requires changing your habits from failures to success. It requires refining your decision-making ability so that you will build a strong foundation in your life.

Next week on Philosophy Friday we will continue our exploration of The Formula for Success. Make sure to join us for the continuation of our trek on the Trail of Philosophy next Friday. I know you will find these insights interesting and profitable in living a rich and satisfying life.

Our next trek will be Motivation Monday when we explore more trails of how to get and stay motivated to bring value to your world. So encourage your friends and family to join us, and then come along on Monday for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.

Discipline-4

That will finish our trek for today. As you enjoy your daily dose of wisdom, we ask you to help us grow Wisdom-Trek by sharing with your family and friends through email, Facebook, Twitter, or in person and inviting them to come along with us each day. I would challenge you today to take just one precept that we learn today in Proverbs and commit yourself to applying it to your life.

Thank you for allowing me to be your guide, mentor, and most of all your friend as I serve you through the Wisdom-Trek podcast and journal.

As we take this trek together, let us always:

  1. Live Abundantly (Fully)
  2. Love Unconditionally
  3. Listen Intentionally
  4. Learn Continuously
  5. Lend to others Generously
  6. Lead with Integrity
  7. Leave a Living Legacy Each Day

Making Wise Decisions – Wisdom Unplugged

Decisions - Wisdom Unplugged

Thank you for joining us for our 5 days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. This is Day 457 of our trek, and it is Thursday and time for our 3-minute mini-trek called Wisdom Unplugged. This short nugget of wisdom includes an inspirational quote with a little additional content for today’s trek. Consider this your vitamin supplement of wisdom each Tuesday and Thursday. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget.

Today’s quote is from Vonette Z. Bright, who says, “Decisions which are made in the light of God’s word are stable and show wisdom.”

making-wise-decisions-1-728 (1)

As a person of faith, I am a Christ follower, and I consider the Bible as God’s letter of guidance to all mankind. With this world view, I also am convinced that all decisions that I make need to be in sync with the precepts found in God’s Word. As part of my decision-making process, I filter those decisions through God’s Word to make sure that they are not contrary to the truths that are found in His Word. This provides me with a firm foundation from which I can make decisions. When you are constructing a building, the most important part of the building is the foundation. When the foundation is solid, then the building will be stable and able to withstand adverse conditions. This is the same way with making decisions. If our decisions are based on the solid foundation of God’s Word, then they will be stable and wise.

As Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.”

That’s a wrap for today’s Wisdom Unplugged quote.
