Proverbs 14New Living Translation
14 A wise woman builds her home,
but a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands.
2 Those who follow the right path fear the Lord;
those who take the wrong path despise him.
3 A fool’s proud talk becomes a rod that beats him,
but the words of the wise keep them safe.
4 Without oxen a stable stays clean,
but you need a strong ox for a large harvest.
5 An honest witness does not lie;
a false witness breathes lies.
6 A mocker seeks wisdom and never finds it,
but knowledge comes easily to those with understanding.
7 Stay away from fools,
for you won’t find knowledge on their lips.
8 The prudent understand where they are going,
but fools deceive themselves.
9 Fools make fun of guilt,
but the godly acknowledge it and seek reconciliation.
10 Each heart knows its own bitterness,
and no one else can fully share its joy.
11 The house of the wicked will be destroyed,
but the tent of the godly will flourish.
12 There is a path before each person that seems right,
but it ends in death.
13 Laughter can conceal a heavy heart,
but when the laughter ends, the grief remains.
14 Backsliders get what they deserve;
good people receive their reward.
15 Only simpletons believe everything they’re told!
The prudent carefully consider their steps.
16 The wise are cautious[a] and avoid danger;
fools plunge ahead with reckless confidence.
17 Short-tempered people do foolish things,
and schemers are hated.
18 Simpletons are clothed with foolishness,[b]
but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
19 Evil people will bow before good people;
the wicked will bow at the gates of the godly.
20 The poor are despised even by their neighbors,
while the rich have many “friends.”
21 It is a sin to belittle one’s neighbor;
blessed are those who help the poor.
22 If you plan to do evil, you will be lost;
if you plan to do good, you will receive unfailing love and faithfulness.
23 Work brings profit,
but mere talk leads to poverty!
24 Wealth is a crown for the wise;
the effort of fools yields only foolishness.
25 A truthful witness saves lives,
but a false witness is a traitor.
26 Those who fear the Lord are secure;
he will be a refuge for their children.
27 Fear of the Lord is a life-giving fountain;
it offers escape from the snares of death.
28 A growing population is a king’s glory;
a prince without subjects has nothing.
29 People with understanding control their anger;
a hot temper shows great foolishness.
30 A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body;
jealousy is like cancer in the bones.
31 Those who oppress the poor insult their Maker,
but helping the poor honors him.
32 The wicked are crushed by disaster,
but the godly have a refuge when they die.
33 Wisdom is enshrined in an understanding heart;
wisdom is not[c] found among fools.
34 Godliness makes a nation great,
but sin is a disgrace to any people.
35 A king rejoices in wise servants
but is angry with those who disgrace him.

Proverbs 14
ARE WE OBLIVIOUS TO THE GREATEST TRAGEDY IN THIS MOMENT?
April 01, 2020
It is sad to lose something that you value … Your health. Your relationships. Your financial employment and possessions. Maybe even your home. Your ability to be with others.
But there is one loss that is greater than all the rest: the loss of God’s presence. If you have Him, you have all that matters and lasts for everything flows from the presence of the Lord. But if you do that which aborts the presence of God, you will lose the Source of everything valuable and secure in this life and the next.
AN UNAWARE LOSS
Samson was chosen and gifted by God to deliver the nation of Israel. He was endowed by God with supernatural strength to do his task.
But the fault-lines in his life were unbroken pride and unbridled passion. He thought he could play with sin and it wouldn’t affect him. And his sin of choice was moral impurity.
It got him into trouble repeatedly, but his last failure was the worst. He compromised with a Philistine named Delilah, telling her the truth of where his great strength originated as she repeatedly pressed him. This strength was a gift from God, made possible by God’s presence in his life. It was given to Samson so that he might fulfill his calling to lead the nation and bring deliverance to God’s people.
But Samson never quite understood this. He was consumed with his own selfish desires. And it finally brought God’s greatest judgment.
(Delilah) said, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And he awoke from his sleep and said, “I will go out as at other times and shake myself free.” But he did not know that the Lord had departed from him. (Judges 16:20)
Expecting Gods power and blessing as at other times, it had evaporated in light of his repeated sin.
OUR MOST TRAGIC LOSS
While we are in a different age and the Lord, once received, never leaves us, we can still suffer a similar loss, even as followers of Christ. We can repeatedly push Christ off the throne of our lives to do what we desire. And if we do, we will lose the immediacy of His presence and power.
Pride makes us think we can sin and it doesn’t matter. But this is a fatal assumption. Sin always matters to God. Rebellion always has consequences.
We can turn from Him as an individual, a family, a church, a nation. “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people” (Proverbs 14:34). God will not tarry where He is not wanted and His greatest judgment on rebellious people is to depart, leaving them to their own devices.
There is but one remedy to our pride, written in James, Chapter 4, as an admonition to the church.
God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Submit therefore to God … draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. (James 4:6-8)
Samson’s great mistake was believing he was an exception to the rule. But he was not, and neither are we. God graciously longs to draw near, but we must humbly, repentantly draw near to Him. And we must do it now.
Holy God, forgive me for thinking I can live without You. Restore desperation to my soul and a brokenness over my sin and the loss of Your presence. Make me long for You and You alone as my greatest treasure. Help me to do whatever is necessary to gain the return of your recognizable presence and power in my life. And do this same work in my family, my church, and our nation so that our lives may once again glorify the One who made us and bought us back at the cost of His own Son..
