PROVERBS 29
REMAIN HUMBLE AND HAVE COMPASSION
Solomon offers wisdom around having discernment, warning us to be cautious and careful with our words and judgments. The foolish person will indulge themselves in saying every complaint that enters their mind, but the wise person is selective with sharing their gripe. Even the fool is wiser than the person who talks before thinking!
Solomon advises us to be sympathetic to others, without giving others’ input too much control or influence. While we should have compassion and understanding for others, if we value people’s opinions over God’s, we are setting ourselves up for failure. The righteous person is able to enjoy their life, but a wicked person gets tangled up in their sin.
In all of these areas, remain humble, because pride has the ability to ruin everything.
