Breakfast with Solomon - Proverbs 16:18
Pride, in this negative sense, could be understood as what adds "er" to your life. It is not enough to be fast, we must be faster.

Do You Seek Humility?
Humility doesn't mean humiliation, self-deprecation, or low views of oneself. Having strong opinions doesn't have to hinder humility

Breakfast with Solomon - Proverbs 9:8
Proverbs 9:8 "Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you, reprove a wise man and he will love you" We are always trying to influence people to see things our way. This proverb is a lesson in who you can do that to, who you can't, and who will listen. It also will allow you to understand the kinds of people that you are dealing with. The word reprove is the word tokeha in the Hebrew which means to correct, to rebuke, to bring about a new perception to the listener. This pro

Breakfast with Solomon - Proverbs 25:6
Proverbs 25:6 "Do not claim honor in the presence of the king and do not stand in the place of great men" It is the height of arrogance to boast of your gifts and abilities in the presence of your leader. This does not endear you to the people above you to constantly be claiming significance and stature in front of them. Most who do this are really trying to get noticed or see themselves as better than their bosses. It is unfortunate in our culture that this practice of boast

Breakfast with Solomon - Proverbs 16:5
Proverbs 16:5 "Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord; assuredly, he will not be unpunished" The proverb in the original Hebrew starts: Abominable to the Lord is the person who is proud in their heart. The emphasis is on how terrible this issue of pride is. We do not think of pride in our day as that big of a thing. In fact, in many cases we like the idea of pride and think it is good. The word pride is the Hebrew word gaboah which means high, exalted, s

Breakfast with Solomon - Proverbs 22:4
Proverbs 22:4 "The reward of humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, honor, and life" the reward We must never forget that there is a reward for living the way that God wants us to live. It pays to be righteous. We can often feel that the rewards and the payoff all go to the wicked, but nothing is further from the truth. They get the momentary pleasure of sin and the deep consequences of sin. We receive the continual feast of righteousness. I believe that we too often d

Breakfast with Solomon - Proverbs 30:3
Proverbs 30:3 "Neither have I learned wisdom, nor do I have the knowledge of the Holy One" These are the stylized ways of showing humility. Our culture has largely forgotten that it is not wise or righteous to brag about yourself and the people you know. In this proverb, Agur is stating the obvious. He does not know all there is to know. He does not know all about God and His ways. While almost everyone would admit that, many in our day and age parade around like they know ev
