Proverbs Are Words Of Wisdom.

The King James Version of the Bible has a chapter within it called Proverbs.

Proverbs are words of wisdom that were given to the author of this chapter of the Bible, so we would have a guideline with which to live life by. It has all the answers to walk us through life in peace and happiness. It has all the answers to every single daily problem we could possibly have. Most importantly it has the instructions that provide the stairway to heaven. The problem however, is that we have lost our ability to read, understand and apply these to life. The good news is, its not too late. Make it a point to read one of these proverbs daily, and let it be your beacon of light to guide you through the day, and warm you through the night.




Proverbs1:2
To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
What does wisdom mean to us? It is supposed to mean to have the ability to judge what is right, what is true, what is lasting or has meaning, and to have insight.
What is instruction? It means to have knowledge of the information it is giving.
What  perceive means is to know what the words or information you are being given mean.
Words of understanding; means to have the ability to learn, judge, make decisions or make sense of the words being imparted to us.
Can you imagine to be able to live through a day and apply wisdom to everything you say and do? What an impact that would have on you and all those who you come in contact with during the day.
It means you would think about every word that came out of your mouth and every action that you performed. It means you would decide first whether it was the right thing to say or do. You would decide if what you were going to say was true and had a purpose. Was the words spoken going to have some value to you or the person you were speaking to ?
If you were to speak this way, would you be talking different than what you talk now? How often do we say useless things to people, and hurt them without realizing it?
To have the wisdom to be able to talk to someone like we really care about what we are saying to them, and that we understand what we need to say to that person to make them feel like we care is truly wisdom.
Today's treasure:
Take the opportunity today when you are talking to someone to look into their eyes and smile as you speak. Listen to every word they say as if it’s the most important thing you will ever hear. When you answer think about the kindest words that you can use, and give them the most important information in those words that they can use.  
Care and think about every word you utter today.
