2. 2
Proverbs 16:21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent:
and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
(TLB) The wise man is known by his common
sense, and a pleasant teacher is the best.
A harsh teacher is
ineffective.

3. 3
Proverbs 15:1 (NIV) A gentle answer turns away
wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
The Holy Spirit produces gentleness in us.
A man or woman under the anointing of God will
speak and teach with a gentle manner.
If your goal is to teach or persuade, a gentle
manner and voice is far more effective.

4. 4
21a The wise in heart shall be called prudent: …
The wise man is known by his common sense (TLB)
Do you want to know if a man or woman can be
trusted to be a teacher and a leader?
Look at his or her life.

5. 5
Is he faithful and dependable in all?
If he is, then he can be safely
followed as a wise man.

6. 6
22 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him
that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.
(TLB) 22 Wisdom is a fountain of life to those
possessing it, but a fool’s burden is his folly.
Foolishness is a burden, not only to the
acquaintances of fools,
But unto the fool himself.

7. 7
Foolish choices

8. 8
Such folly is a burden.
When we make poor choices, life gets
more complicated and difficult.
Is a virtue
These choices will do to live by.

9. 9
1 Peter 5 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your
adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh
about, seeking whom he may devour:
Be sober-minded; make careful choices.
Be on guard; say NO to foolishness.

10. 10
Life can become a burden.
But we do it to ourselves.
Troubled relationships Job troubles Law troubles
Mostly because a man or woman
demands his or her own way.

11. 11
But we can have a blessed life, if we will.
Psalm 1 1-3 Blessed is the man that walketh not in
the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way
of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
But his delight is in the Law of the LORD; and in
His Law doth he meditate day and night. And he
shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf
also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall
prosper.
Good living!
