Sayings of the Wise Indeed!!

While reading Proverbs 24 a few verses stuck out to me that I would like to share with everyone.

"By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasure."
Pr. 24:3-4

"Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when he stumbles, do not let your heart rejoice..."
Pr. 24:17

"I applied my heart to what I observed and learned a lesson from what I saw..."
Pr. 24:32


My thoughts:
  • Verse 3-4: I like this verse because it makes the word of God your very own fortress and your furnishings are the knowledge you obtain.
  • Verse 17: The lesson is pretty much written in stone. Don't gloat! Not only is it annoying, you are also kicking your enemy while they're down.
  • Verse 32: Another pretty easy concept. Learn from others, whether it's their achievements or failures there's always wisdom to be gained from others.
