Highlights

Fear of God is a school in skilled living. First you learn humility and then you experience glory. And friends, just like that, we are done with chapter 15. One of the things that really stood out to me again was that puny life thing, right? The undisciplined self willed life is puny. But the obedient, God willed life is spacious. Listen, when I did my prison time, I did five years. Two of those years were in the hole.
 
Prayerful answers come from Godloyal people. The wicked are sewers of abuse. God keeps his distance from the wicked. He closely attends to the prayers of the Godloyal people. A twinkle in the eye means joy in the heart. And good news makes you feel fit as a fiddle. Listen to good advice if you want to live well. An honored guest among wise men and women. An undisciplined, self willed life is puny. An obedient, God willed life is spacious.
Even hell holds no secrets from God do you think he can't read? Human hearts knowitalls don't like being told what to do they avoid the company of wise men and women a cheerful heart brings a smile to your face a sad heart makes it hard to get through the day an intelligent person is always eager to take in more truth. Fools feed on fast food, fads and fancies a miserable heart means a miserable life a cheerful heart fills the day with song a simple life in the fear of God is better than a rich life with a ton of headaches.
