Proverbs 29:23

A man's pride will bring him low,
But the humble in spirit will retain honor.

Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

Yesterday we saw in Proverbs 11:2, that "when pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom." It is good to remember that all that we have and all that we can do, comes from the Father, above, and to give Him all the glory for our accomplishments!

God Bless You!

To be proud of virtue is to poison yourself with the antidote.

FEATURED FUNNY:

A man just returned from traveling around the USA for a year. He had a lot of stories to tell. Here is one of them.

It seems he was looking for a bank and stopped to ask directions. The man he asked replied "Just drive down this road about 5 miles and then turn left at the Stop n Go."

He drove 5 miles, then 6, then 7. At about 10 miles down he stopped for directions again. The man he asked replied, "Just go back down this road about 5 miles and turn right at the Stop n Go"

He headed out again but still had no luck. When he got back to where he had started he stopped again. When he asked for directions the answer was exactly the same. This time Jim asked, "Could you describe the Stop n Go for me?" The man gave him a funny look and said "It's on a pole. It's got a red light on the top, a Green light on the bottom...."

A. A loaf of bread, a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins.

And when David had finished offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts. Then he distributed among all the people, among the whole multitude of Israel, both the women and the men, to everyone a loaf of bread, a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins. So all the people departed, everyone to his house.
