Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley.  Today  we will be going over Proverb 12.  I will then key in on verse 22:  The Lord detest lying lips, but he delights in those who tell the truth. Friend, we all like to be around honest people.  It is not only important that we are honest, but that we select people who are honest themselves to be our close associates.  Friendships are built on trust, and if people that we seek advise from are not honest people, it will be hard to trust that we can believe what they tell us.  Today, we will continue our study on Exodus by going over two particular incidents from Chapter #18.  1.  Jethro pays Moses a visit (I will read verses 6-12).  Jethro announces to Moses that he will be paying him a visit (along with bringing Moses his wife and two sons as well).  They (Jethro and Moses) have become pretty good friends, and Moses welcomes his visit.  2.  Jethro has wise advise for Moses (I will read verses 13-23).  These verses actually are very important to our everyday lives.  Whether we talk about our military, our government, or whether we are talking about businesses, these verses tell us the importance of delegating authority to people who are under us.  Jethro tells Moses that he should delegate authority and put people in charge of thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens.  What I really like about Jethro's advise is that he leaves it up to Moses as to whether he will heed his advise or not.  CALL to ACTION - very simple - I ask that you pay someone a compliment today (this could be anyone you meet on the street, in a story, at a gas station, or at your place of employment).  Look for occasions to pay someone a compliment, or to lend a helping hand whenever the situation presents itself.  Suggested scripture reading - 1.  Reread the 18th chapter of the Book of Exodus; 2.  Reread the 11th chapter of the Book of Hebrews; 3.  Reread today's proverb, Proverb 12, in its entirety.
