NEW YEARS PROVERBS

How have those New Year's resolutions been working for you in past years.  How about a couple New Year's Proverbs instead:

PROVERBS 30:4-5 (NIV)
Who has gone up to heaven and come down?
Who has gathered up the wind in the hollow of his hands?
Who has wrapped up the waters in his cloak?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is his name, and the name of his son?
Tell me if you know.
Every word of God is flawless;
He is a shield to those who take refuge in him.


PROVERBS 2:1-8 (NIV)
My son, if you accept my words
And store up my commands within you
Turning you ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding,
And if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding
And if you look for it as for silver
And search for it as for hidden treasure
Then you will understand the fear of the Lord
And find the knowledge of God.
For the Lord gives wisdom,
And from his mouth come knowledge and understanding,
He holds victory in store for the upright,
He is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,
For he guards the course of the just
And protects the way of his faithful ones.
