Click here to go to Proverbs 17
A couple of the Proverbs that jumped out at me today were verse 1, especially after reading Psalm 84 yesterday.
But then verse 22:
A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.
And verse 28:
Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent;
with their mouths shut, they seem intelligent.
Lots of words of wisdom... which ones did you enjoy?
Proverbs 17
ReplyDelete3 The crucible is for refining silver and the smelter for gold, but the one who purifies hearts by fire is the Lord.
Jeremiah 6
29 The bellows of the blast furnace blow fiercely to make the fire melt away the lead. It is useless to go on refining because the impurities can't be removed.

Refiner's Fire lyrics
Purify my heart
Let me be as gold and precious silver
Purify my heart
Let me be as gold, pure gold
Refiner's fire
My heart's one desire
Is to be holy
Set apart for You, Lord
I choose to be holy
Set apart for You, my Master
Ready to do Your will
Purify my heart
Cleanse me from within
And make me holy
Purify my heart
Cleanse me from my sin
Deep within
