Proverbs 12:1-2 The Message
If You Love Learning
12 If you love learning, you love the discipline that goes with it—
how shortsighted to refuse correction!

2 A good person basks in the delight of God,
and he wants nothing to do with devious schemers.

16 A commonsense person lives good sense;
fools litter the country with silliness.

17 Irresponsible talk makes a real mess of things,
but a reliable reporter is a healing presence.

22 True intelligence is a spring of fresh water,
while fools sweat it out the hard way.

23 They make a lot of sense, these wise folks;
whenever they speak, their reputation increases.

24 Gracious speech is like clover honey—
good taste to the soul, quick energy for the body.

God made us in God's image so that we might live creative lives. Reading and discussing the scriptures and your faith with a fellowship of believers and acting on your beliefs will strengthen your ability to live a life which lifts people up to the persons God desires them to be. Your talk can destroy as well as create. Live creatively!
