Discussing Proverbs 22:1-6 as we continue to make our way through the book of Proverbs (not in it's entirety but in snippets each day.) 

1- A good name is more desirable than riches

2- The commonality with all men is our maker 

3- Living wisely is wise 

4- Not thinking less of our self, but less about our self - and being obedient to Jesus brings life 

5- Raising our kids to 1. Have a good name, 2. to live wisely, and 3 to be kind, genuine, honoring people will lead them to have good name. 

Proverbs 22:1-6New International Version 22A good name is more desirable than great riches;

to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.

2Rich and poor have this in common:

The Lord is the Maker of them all.

3The prudent see danger and take refuge,

but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.

4Humility is the fear of the Lord;

its wages are riches and honor and life.

5In the paths of the wicked are snares and pitfalls,

but those who would preserve their life stay far from them.

6Start children off on the way they should go,

and even when they are old they will not turn from it.
