Proverbs 22

It took me nearly 4 minutes to read this collection of wise words. The proverb from this section that I need to be reminded of frequently is verse one of this chapter. The culture that rubs its influence against my life points to the accumulation of bragging rights as the measure for our life. It doesn't have to be something tangible, just something that make an individual stand out among those around him.  Solomon observed that from God's perspective the two thing that are worth determining how we excel are;
A spotless reputation and a gracious spirit. Such attributes may not bring recognition in this world, but it will display God's workmanship in our lives.
