24 Better to live alone in a tumbledown shack than share a mansion with a nagging spouse.PROVERBS 23
13-14 Don't be afraid to correct your young ones; a spanking won't kill them.A good spanking, in fact, might save them from something worse than death.
17-18 Don't for a minute envy careless rebels; soak yourself in the Fear-of-God—That's where your future lies. Then you won't be left with an armload of nothing.
PROVERBS 24
Strategic planning is the key to warfare; to win, you need a lot of good counsel.
10 If you fall to pieces in a crisis, there wasn't much to you in the first place.
God-loyal people don't stay down long;Soon they're up on their feet,
15 Patient persistence pierces through indifference; gentle speech breaks down rigid defenses.
24 Better to live alone in a tumbledown shack than share a mansion with a nagging spouse.
DON'T LET ME BE A NAGGING SPOUSE
2 Don't call attention to yourself; let others do that for you.
15-16 A nagging spouse is like the drip, drip, drip of a leaky faucet;You can't turn it off, and you can't get away from it.
18 If you care for your orchard, you'll enjoy its fruit; if you honor your boss, you'll be honored
19 Just as water mirrors your face, so your face mirrors your heart.
ROMANS 14
6-9What's important in all this is that if you keep a holy day, keep it for God's sake; if you eat meat, eat it to the glory of God and thank God for prime rib; if you're a vegetarian, eat vegetables to the glory of God and thank God for broccoli. None of us are permitted to insist on our own way in these matters. It's God we are answerable to—all the way from life to death and everything in between—not each other. That's why Jesus lived and died and then lived again: so that he could be our Master across the entire range of life and death, and free us from the petty tyrannies of each other.
So tend to your knitting. You've got your hands full just taking care of your own life before God
17-18God's kingdom isn't a matter of what you put in your stomach, for goodness' sake. It's what God does with your life as he sets it right, puts it together, and completes it with joy. Your task is to single-mindedly serve Christ. Do that and you'll kill two birds with one stone: pleasing the God above you and proving your worth to the people around you.
22-23Cultivate your own relationship with God, but don't impose it on others
If the way you live isn't consistent with what you believe, then it's wrong.
HAD THIS REVELATION YESTERDAY WHILE READING BRIAN MCLAREN'S BOOK, THAT WHAT I BELIEVE HAS LITTLE CONSEQUENCES FOR HOW I LIVE!
ROMANS 15
Each one of us needs to look after the good of the people around us, asking ourselves, "How can I help?"
6That's exactly what Jesus did. He didn't make it easy for himself by avoiding people's troubles, but waded right in and helped out. "I took on the troubles of the troubled," is the way Scripture puts it. Even if it was written in Scripture long ago, you can be sure it's written for us. God wants the combination of his steady, constant calling and warm, personal counsel in Scripture to come to characterize us, keeping us alert for whatever he will do next. May our dependably steady and warmly personal God develop maturity in you so that you get along with each other as well as Jesus gets along with us all. Then we'll be a choir—not our voices only, but our very lives singing in harmony in a stunning anthem to the God and Father of our Master Jesus!
7-13So reach out and welcome one another to God's glory. Jesus did it; now you do it!
so that your believing lives, filled with the life-giving energy of the Holy Spirit
made whole and holy by God's Holy Spirit
Pray strenuously with and for me—to God the Father, through the power of our Master Jesus, through the love of the Spirit

Proverbs 27
You Don't Know Tomorrow
1 Don't brashly announce what you're going to do tomorrow; you don't know the first thing about tomorrow.
2 Don't call attention to yourself; let others do that for you.
15-16 A nagging spouse is like the drip, drip, drip of a leaky faucet;You can't turn it off, and you can't get away from it.
18 If you care for your orchard, you'll enjoy its fruit; if you honor your boss, you'll be honored
19 Just as water mirrors your face, so your face mirrors your heart.
