Just live according to the title
"The important virtues of life's success"
Life is often governed by little things (verse 1). There are many times when we fall into small things rather than big problems and ruin our whole life. Is your character degraded by failing to keep a great oath or vow? no. Failure to keep one small promise will degrade your personality. So choice is important. When you take the first step, the difference between choosing the left and choosing the right is only 1 meter, but later on, it makes a difference between your entire life and your entire life. Life depends on your choices. Choice separates wisdom from foolishness (verse 2). What virtues should I choose to live?
1. Purification
Saints must achieve the purification of language and behavior until they go to heaven. What are the characteristics of a foolish person? He says he speaks wisely, but the more he speaks, the more he reveals that he is a fool (verse 3). So, in order to become a wise person, you need to train yourself to shorten and shorten your words. Sometimes I see a person who makes the words come out of their mouths and then immediately regrets, “Why did I say that?” If you are not good at distinguishing between what to say and what not to say, it is better to be quiet.
Proverbs 17:28 says this. “Even a fool is considered wise when he is silent, and prudent when he closes his lips.” When you look at what he says, all of his humanity is revealed. Why do people like mountains? This is because there is no sound even though it gives a lot of messages. Just as silence sometimes has more power than loud voices, wisely reducing your speech will proportionately increase your peace of mind. The refinement of words and actions is a sign of inner peace and a source of outward peace.
2. Obedience
Even if a ruler or a superior does something that provokes anger and hurts in your heart, do not leave the place of your mission (verse 4). That is obedience, and obedience is a virtue so valuable that it covers any fault. When a leader shows his faults, he stands out even more. However, it is unfortunate to see only the faults of the leader without seeing one's own faults. It is necessary to judge the situation well and to criticize it properly, but such an attitude should not weaken the spirit of obedience.
The present age is an era in which the value of obedience is weakened. It's more of a problem than anything else. Disobedience was the root cause of original sin and is a representative life that represents the last days. In that sense, if you want to become a Blessed Saint, keep training in obedience. If you regard obedience as the highest value, God will bless you and you will gain good connections and backgrounds on this earth, and you will stand tall as a central figure in society without being left in a marginalized position.
3. Purity
In life, the high are often regarded as the lowly ones, and the lowly ones are often regarded as the high ones (verses 6-7). But you have to live righteously. If you do it right, you will be happy. If you do it right, you will be blessed. Some people live with . The water goes smoothly to its final destination, without horns, no teeth, and no claws. If you get stuck on the way, go back. If all directions are blocked, wait and pass. It goes smoothly like that. If you do that, you will eventually reach your destination. If you can't go in a month, you can go in two months, and if you can't go even then, you can go later. When you live according to the rules God has set, your life will be the happiest.
If you are out of order, your eyes will not be satisfied with seeing and your ears will not be satisfied with hearing. Also, we cannot see the fullness of God's grace in the world, hear the praises of all things, and have many things, but we cannot enjoy them. Unhappiness is not due to ‘lack of possessions’ but ‘lack of enjoyment’ in not being able to enjoy what has already been given. The Lord said that faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains. Small changes in yourself are just as important. ‘The faith that moves mountains’ is the ‘faith that moves me’.
