Every time I read Proverbs 31:30 I think of my precious wife, Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. While I truly believe my wife is beautiful both inside and out, what I love about her the most is she loves the Lord above all else.

May we never have too much that we forget our need for God in our lives and may we never have too little that we look for dishonest gains. Proverbs 30:8-9 says, 8 Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. 9 Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God. How many of us are brave enough to pray these verses to God? Living in faith is hard, but this life is most rewarding when we fully trust in God for all we need.

Living a righteous life is pleasing to God, but there is also a practical purpose; to live free from entrapment of sin over our lives. Proverbs 29:6 says, An evil man is snared by his own sin, but a righteous one can sing and be glad. There is peace in living a righteous life.

Riches are meaningless in the eyes of the Lord. Proverbs 28:6 says, Better a poor man whose walk is blameless than a rich man whose ways are perverse. God does not need our money. What He wants is our obedience and our willingness to be used by Him to impact the lives of others for eternity.

Surrounding yourself with people who challenge you and hold is accountable is one of the most valuable things you can do for your spiritual walk. Proverbs 27:17 says, As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. Having people who are willing to encourage you through constructive challenge is the best ways a friend can help us grow.

God has given each of us our own gifts, yet many of us envy other people’s gifts over our own. Proverbs 25:14 says, Like clouds and wind without rain is a man who boasts of gifts he does not have. Boasting about fruits which are not our own is pointless. While there are some gifts which are more visible than others, there are no unimportant gifts, and they are not made possible without the existence of all gifts. Do not waste your time working on gifts which are not your own. Embrace the gifts God has given you and work to fully utilize it for His service.

Those who are truly strong will show it when times are good and when they are bad as well. Proverbs 24:10 says, If you falter in times of trouble, how small is your strength! This isn’t a question, it is a statement and an indictment on our strength if we fall apart at the first sight of trouble. More importantly, we are not alone. God is always near us and allows us to draw strength from Him if we are simply aware and willing to do so.

Arguing with a fool is pointless. Proverbs 23:9 says, Do not speak to a fool, for he will scorn the wisdom of your words. The more you try to reason with a fool, the more you are dragged into their foolishness. It is better to walk away and save your frustration.
