Proverbs 11:14-15

The supposed debate last night was painful to watch. President Trump’s behavior was a direct reflection of the state of our nation under his term in office. If I had to describe it…it was chaotic, undisciplined and lacking any self control. 


Character matters! 


It is frightening to think that those who should be counseling him in the Republican Party care more about their political power than what is good for the very people they are elected to serve.


When you refuse to listen to any counsel but your own…you are like the foolish man who built his house on sinking sand.


Proverbs 11:14–15

14 Where there is no counsel, the people fall;

But in the multitude of counselors there is safety.

15 He who is surety for a stranger will suffer,

But one who hates being surety is secure.


In modern times as much as formerly, leaders of nations need adequate counsel. So do all individuals. We all need to seek advice from wise and trustworthy people. It warns against rashly giving surety or a pledge for a stranger. NKJ Bible.


Proverbs 6:2  You are snared by the words of your mouth; you are taken by the words of your mouth.
