Read Proverbs 11
Several character traits are lifted up as wise, honored, and lead to long life and success in this chapter. Here are just a few:
Righteous/Just (right standing before God and just toward your fellow man)
Humility
Integrity
Wise in knowledge
Upright (moral rectitude)
Person of Understanding
Trustworthy
Teachable (listen to advisors)
Kind
Blameless (innocent of evil: staying far from it)
Discrete (able to sort good and evil, right and wrong)
Generosity
Are there any of these character traits that need sharpening in your character? Chances are there are several. For these character traits to be developed in you and I, it will require at least the following:
· The power and help of the Holy Spirit
· Daily time with God through the Bible and prayer
· Good examples to learn from
· A group of people striving to live this way
· Intentional denial of your own selfish, arrogant, and hurtful heart
Wisdom calls to all. Will you answer her call to enter the narrow path that leads to real life?
