The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,
and whoever captures souls is wise.

An interesting verse....

Yes, kind'a precious......when the word "capture" is explored, another word used is "wins".

What also comes to mind is when Jesus said that His disciples would become "fishers of men", as in they will "catch" many men (souls).

This song comes to mind:

A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy person keeps a secret. Prov. 11:13.
Words to build friendships on.

Be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished, but those who are righteous will go free. v. 21.
Last night my youth group was discussing how God is just, and this verse reminds me of that.

One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. v. 24.
The logic seems backwards, but when you think about it, it makes sense. People who give often gain rewards in their hearts and in Heaven, but those who don't miss out on those rewards. Although, it also seems that God blesses the people who give to others, but that's just my opinion.

It's true!! i used to have a little giving thing going on with me n' God....i had read somewhere that you just CAN'T "out-give" God...and it was true hahaaaa

God had just laid it on my heart to give here or there and when i did, it seemed that there would somehow be more money in my bank account than i had expected.....once i found a $20.00 bill in a jeans pocket....and i would be getting "refunds" from unexpected sources, etc.

Reminds me of the woman who took Elijah in and fixed him her last bit of flour for bread, and as she did, the amount of flour and oil never "lessened", but got more plentiful....and the little boy who gave his fish and bread to Jesus and Jesus multiplied it.

God really DOES bless a generous giver, in spiritual ways and in tangible ways.

He is a GOOD God.

:clap:

But in the multitude of counselors there is safety.
