Our accomplishments in this world make us no more or less important in God’s eyes. Proverbs 22:2 says, Rich and poor have this is common: The Lord is the Maker of them all. God created us all equally and loves us all just the same.

I need to have Proverbs 21:23 on my mind at all times. He who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself from calamity. How many times have I made a bad situation worse by opening my mouth. Self control is the key to wisdom.

God has created each of us with the ability to see and hear truth. It is up to us to be willing to open up to the truth with our God-given abilities. Proverbs 12:12 says, Ears that hear and eyes that see – the Lord has made them both. Let us not allow ourselves to be blinded by the truth.

Few people like to ask for help and even fewer like correcting instruction from someone else. But Proverbs 19:20 says, Listen to advice and accept instruction, and in the end you will be wise. Only a fool rejects wise counsel from others. God places people in our lives to help guide us and move us in the right direction. Be humble, accept it, and be thankful for it.

When we think we can do it all alone, that is when we are closest to failure. Proverbs 18:12 say, Before his downfall a man’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor. We cannot do it alone. We need the help of the Holy Spirit in our lives and the help of trusted friends to keep us accountable. When we humble ourselves to know we need help, this is when we find honor.

True friends are the ones who love you no matter what. They stick by you regardless of the circumstances of your life or whether you can do anything for them in return. Proverbs 17:17 says, A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. There is no greater friend than a loyal one. When adversity strikes, that is when a true friend shows up. What kind of friend are you?

At 47, I am facing my mortality more and more each day. It is hard to feel good about becoming older and slowly losing all the physical abilities I once had. But gray hair is something that should not be disgraced. Proverbs 16:31 says, Gray hair is a crown of splendor; it is attained by a righteous life. The Hebrews believed gray hair was the reflection of a long life and a sign of God’s blessing from a righteous life. We should all respect the elderly who have lived a life walking with God. They are an example to all of us.

Have you ever met someone who would rather argue than accept responsibility for their actions? Proverbs 12:12 says, A mocker resents correction; he will not consult the wise. We should all be humble enough to accept correction. None of us are perfect and none of us have a complete perspective. We should be willing to accept correction and advice from trusted advisers and people we know have our best interest in mind.
