Highlights from Proverbs 11

Here's my favorite parts of Proverbs 11:

14Where there is no guidance the people fall, but in abundance of counselors there is victory.
One of my favorite verses. This is why I never want to be surrounded by "yes" people. I don't like complainers, but I seek the counsel that comes from having a diverse group surround me.

22As a ring of gold in a swine's snout, so is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.
I would much rather be in partnership with those of substance than those who simply look good.

30The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who is wise wins souls.
Lord help me produce fruit that is pleasing to You and endures through eternity.
