Have you ever wished that was a “Life Manual” that held the secrets to Marriage, Financial Prosperity, Health, Happiness, and Life in general? I’ve got some good news…there is! It’s called “The Bible” and not only is it the Best-Selling book in history, it’s also the one book that has changed my life (and the lives of countless others) more than any other book ever written.

Every Word of the Bible has changed my life, but the Book of Proverbs in particular ha had a deep impact on how I see my life and the world around me. In Proverbs, King Solomon shares “30 Sayings of the Wise” that amount to some of the most practical and powerful wisdom ever spoken. I believe that these God-given nuggets of Truth and Wisdom hold the keys to the life you were born to live.

I have shortened and paraphrased each of these, but I encourage you to read the full text in Proverbs Chapters 22-24.

1. Follow the Right Path, not the Easy Path.

2. Fight for Justice for all people. 

3. Choose your friends wisely. You will become like they are.

4. Financial debt is a form of slavery. Live in freedom and avoid debt.

5. Respect Boundaries. They exist for everyone’s protection. 

6. Sharpen and develop your God-given skills and talents. 

7. There’s no such thing as a “Free Lunch.” Somebody always has to pay.

8. Money makes a good Servant, but a poor Master. Don’t be ruled by it.

9. Show Patience and Restraint. 

10. Speak Truth to those who will listen and don’t lose sleep over those who won’t.
