Proverbs 10:14

Wise men store up knowledge, But with the mouth of the foolish, ruin is at hand. (Proverbs 10:14)

Once again, there are two types of people. They are the wise and the foolish. We have to ask ourselves. Which one are we? Do we approach life to learn or are we carried along by our negative emotional responses to people? When we are going through our day responding negatively to people, we are in trouble. Firstly, this shows that we have a wrong way of thinking about people and the world that is negative and opposed to God’s way, which is love. Secondly, it shows that we are not approaching life to learn and love. Ruin is at hand if we do not stop being negative and touchy with all those around us. However, if we approach life to learn and seek to be better equipped to love people better, we will grow and grow and grow until our light shines like a great beacon to those around us.
