Proverbs 16
Verse 2: "All the ways of a man are clean in his own sight, But the LORD weighs the motives." From our perspective, there is a good reason for everything we do, so our ways are "clean in our own sight." But God sees in the spiritual and can recognize when we are simply rationalizing our carnal desires. nothing is hid from His sight.
Proverbs 16:24: "Pleasant words are a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul and healing to the bones." We should strive to say words and think thoughts that bring healing to others. It should be a lifestyle that we adopt, not simply to "sweeten" others up, but to truly minister to them.
Finally, Proverbs 16:32 "He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city." What a verse for those who struggle with anger! Having control over the anger demonstrates the Spirit is in control.

Pro 16:7 When a man's ways are pleasing to the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him... This is another feel good verse that I take to the bank every day, just like the earlier one about sweet sleep whe we put our heads down.
Pro 16:16 How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen above silver... Nice clear picture of how much importance God puts on wisdom & understanding. This should be out wake up call for seeking knowledge.
Pro 16:24 Pleasant words are a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul and healing to the bones... Just a nice peaceful verse to dwell on.
