Proverbs 10:11-15

Proverbs: 10:11 - The Mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. The righteous will always be willing to serve, to teach and to correct. A fountain of life is revival of the spirit from illness and depression. Proverbs: 10:12 - Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all transgressions. The greatest example of this is John 3:16, the transgressions of the world forgiven by God. As opposed to our "righteous anger" and all the solutions that provides. Proverbs: 10:13 - On the lips of the discerning, wisdom is found, but a rod is for the back of him who lacks understanding. Discipline will find those who act impetuously, whether by their own actions or loose words. Proverbs 10:14 - Wise men store up knowledge, but with the mouth of the foolish, ruin is at hand. The storing of knowledge is the learning process of education along with the physical storing of knowledge, books, libraries things of this sort. Proverbs 10:15 - The rich mans wealth is his fortress, the ruin of the poor is their poverty. 80% of America's current millionaires are first-generation, which means they assembled their own wealth. The security of wealth can provide peace within one's family. Poverty, or poor, are states of mind. You can be broke, but not poor. To admit your poor is to accept the situation as your lifestyle and wallow in your misery.
