Proverb of the Day--October 14th

~Proverbs 14~

 

 

 

"The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, that one may avoid the snares of death."

 

~Proverbs 14:27

 

 

 

"[The fear of God] is an over-flowing ever-flowing spring of comfort and joy; it is a fountain of life, yielding constant pleasure and satisfaction to the soul, joys that are pure and fresh, are life to the soul, and quench its thirst, and can never be drawn dry; it is a well of living water, that is springing up to, and is the earnest of, eternal life. It is a sovereign antidote against sin and temptation. Those that have a true relish of the pleasures of serious godliness will not be allured by the baits of sin to swallow its hook; they know where to obtain better things than any it can pretend to offer, and therefore it is easy to them to depart from the snares of death and to keep their foot from being taken in them."

 

~Matthew Henry's Commentary
