25 Words of Advice and Wisdom for Godly Living

No person has enough wisdom to make all his own decisions and get them right every time. Sometimes wisdom hurts, but it must be followed if it's right. Wisdom will never violate Scripture. These are words of advice and wisdom 1.    It is easy to steal from the poor, but don't do it. And don't take advantage of them in court. The LORD is on their side. He supports the poor, and he will take from those who take from them. This is a warning to those who enjoy ruling with an iron hand. Sometimes God intervenes and directly destroys tyrants. More often, he uses other rulers to overthrow them or their own oppressed people to rebel against them.

Leadership through kindness is more effective and longer lasting than leadership by force. 2.    Don't be friends with people who become angry easily. Don't stay around with quick-tempered people. If you do, yo...
