What is in your storehouse?
One wise person can defeat a city full of soldiers - one kind person can realize the blessing of being kind. Some of us will immediately see all the possibilities in this passage - while others will gravitate toward just one set of "do" or "don't" points. Why is that? I think it is because scripture hits us where we are at the moment. If we are struggling with how we use our resources such as our time and energy, we probably feel like we are constantly out of reserves - we don't have enough when it comes to "crunch time". We focus on the part about not wasting our resources like a fool. Some of us will focus on the advice to be careful with our words because a failure to do so can open up many an issue we would probably rather not have to deal with in the first place - the reminder to "watch what we say" places a muzzle over our lips. Many will focus on the part about one wise person - up against a city of trained soldiers - captur
