June 24, Day 176 - Proverbs 16

Click here to go to Proverbs 16

How often have we heard "Pride goes before a fall"?  Yet, that's not what the writer of this proverb says.  Pride goes before destruction!  A little more than a skinned up knee. 

Again, this chapter of Proverbs provides little reminders on how we should live our lives and what happens when we take the wrong road.  I think verse 24 is my favorite (today):
Kind words are like honey—
    sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.

I want my words to be sweet to the souls around me and to bring health and encouragement, there are so many hurting people.

What jumps out to you?
