Proverbs

Great wisdom in Proverbs..I encourage you to read a chapter a day.
Proverbs 11: 3 Honesty guides good people; dishonesty destroys treacherous people.
Proverbs 11:17 Your kindness will reward you, but your cruelty will destroy you.
Proverbs 11:19 Godly people find life; evil people find death
Proverbs 11:27 If you search for good, you will find favor; but if you search for evil, it will find you!
Proverbs 11:30 The seeds of good deeds becomes a tree of life; a wise person wins friends.

God's advice about money
Proverbs gives some practical instruction on the use of money, although sometimes it is advice we would rather not hear. It's more comfortable to continue in our habits than to learn how to use money more wisely. The advice includes
Be generous in giving.......11:24,25: 22:9
Place people's needs ahead of profit...11:26
Be cautious of countersigning for another....17:18:22;26,27
Don't accept bribes...17:23
Help the poor....19:17;21:13
Store up for the future..21:20
Be careful about borrowing...22:7

Other verses to study include 11:15; 20:16;25:14;27:13

God is always teaching me...Thank You Lord!
