Charles Dickens said: “A silent look of affection and regard when all other eyes are turned coldly away – the consciousness that we possess the sympathy and affection of one being when all others have deserted us – is a hold, a stay, a comfort, in the deepest affliction, which no wealth could purchase, or power bestow. (The Pickwick Papers)”

Yes, “By the fear of the Lord one departs from evil:” (Proverbs 16:6b).

 A direct wisdom pack in Proverbs 16:3 – ‘Commit your works to the Lord:…” Everyone should commit their works to the Lord. They ought to rely upon God in their careers, and they ought to do those functions as unto the Lord (Colossians 3:23).

Yes, “Righteous lips are the delight of kings” (Proverbs 16:13a). In their places of power, leaders need to get with the individuals who talk sincerely and astutely. Accordingly, they find delight in righteous lips. It is consistently fundamental for kings and pioneers to tune in to reality from others and not simple bootlicking.

God knows, and God measures. The finale of the issue is that we delude ourselves so rapidly and accordingly can’t thoroughly assess ourselves.

They who are best familiar with humankind will disclose to you that affectedness or self-righteousness isn’t the specific sin of the temperate, yet that most strikingly, it prospers best where there have all the earmarks of being minimal soil for it. In other words, self- righteousness flourishes best where there appears to be the least soil for it.
