Biblical Tweets

I don't know where the phrase came from, but I recently heard Proverbs described as "biblical tweets." These wise sayings are short on words, like a tweet, but long and deep on meaning. These words of Solomon teach people how to live through the repitition of wise thoughts. There is more than enough wisdom in Proverbs to change the world. All that is needed is for people to actually live what they read. Stuff like this. "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." (Proverbs 15:1) To live that verse one must possess self-control. Here is another. "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." (Proverbs 27:17). Get around good people who can challenge and strengthen you. And maybe the most important verse in all the Proverbs, "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding." (Proverbs 4:7) Today's Winning Thought: If you want wisdom, you must seek it. When you go after it, do not be wise in your own eyes.
