Proverbs Day 9

Proverbs 17:12- Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.

2 Timothy 1:7- For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Wow.  So I must say just reading that one Proverb didn’t really give me much so I had to look it up and read a few more verses.  Here are verses 12-14.

¹²Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.
¹³Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
¹⁴The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.

This makes a bit more sense.  I especially like the 2 Timothy verse that they share along with the Proverbs today.  God certainly has not given us a spirit of fear.  He has given us His love and along with it comes His power because He is within us and helping us.
