#PowerandPurpose: Be Rewarded With Honor

God's curse blights the house of the wicked, 
   but he blesses the home of the righteous.
He gives proud skeptics a cold shoulder, 
   but if you're down on your luck, he's right there to help.
Wise living gets rewarded with honor; 
   stupid living gets the booby prize.


Proverbs 3:33-35

#PowerandPurpose Focus: Lady Wisdom

You're blessed when you meet Lady Wisdom, 
   when you make friends with Madame Insight.
She's worth far more than money in the bank; 
   her friendship is better than a big salary.
Her value exceeds all the trappings of wealth; 
   nothing you could wish for holds a candle to her.
With one hand she gives long life, 
   with the other she confers recognition.
Her manner is beautiful, 
   her life wonderfully complete.
She's the very Tree of Life to those who embrace her. 
   Hold her tight—and be blessed! 

With Lady Wisdom, God formed Earth; 
   with Madame Insight, he raised Heaven.
They knew when to signal rivers and springs to the surface, 
   and dew to descend from the night skies.


Proverbs 3:13-20

Don't Assume You Know It All...!

Good friend, don't forget all I've taught you; take to heart my commands.  They'll help you live a long, long time, a long life lived full and well.  Don't lose your grip on Love and Loyalty.  Tie them around your neck; carve their initials on your heart.  Earn a reputation for living well in God's eyes and the eyes of the people.  Proverbs 3:1-4
