Proverbs 20:

This verse caught my eye. It flies right in the face of our "human" tendencies. It is especially starkly in contrast to our current culture.

Make me a peacemaker,dear LORD!

Verse 10,20. God hates it when you are noy consistent. In business this stands out to me in how you treat good vs bad customers. Do you treat someone worse than others because of how much they spend, how important they are? Do you charge a rich man more because he is rich? Do you give sloppy work to people who don't complain?

Who can say, “I have kept my heart pure;
I am clean and without sin”?
10
Differing weights and differing measures—
the Lord detests them both.
11
Even small children are known by their actions,
so is their conduct really pure and upright?
12
Ears that hear and eyes that see—
the Lord has made them both.

Proverbs 20:

This is sooooo PROFOUND.

(look at the light'ning hahaaaa!)


Amen. It is.

James 1:20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

Colossians 3:8 But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.

12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.

Seven verses that seem notable.

3 It is honorable for a man to stop striving,
Since any fool can start a quarrel.

12 The hearing ear and the seeing eye,
The Lord has made them both.

15 There is gold and a multitude of rubies,
But the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

22 Do not say, “I will recompense evil”;
Wait for the Lord, and He will save you.

24 A man’s steps are of the Lord;
How then can a man understand his own way?

27 The spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord,
Searching all the inner depths of his heart.[c

30 Blows that hurt cleanse away evil,
As do stripes the inner depths of the heart.[d]

Proverbs 20:

Fathers and Sons.
It is TRULY a blessing for children to be led by a righteous and just man who walks in integrity.

Precious.

Amen.

22 Do not say, “I will recompense evil”;
Wait for the Lord, and He will save you.

this is one of the hardest lessons God has taught me...

yet it is one of the major "keys" to peace.

The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters,
but one who has insight draws them out. Prov. 20:5

Who can say, “I have kept my heart pure;
I am clean and without sin”? Prov. 20:9
No one on their own. However, God has given us grace so that we may be made clean and pure.

Ears that hear and eyes that see—
the Lord has made them both. v.12
So be careful little eyes what you see...
