As we relate back to the principles of planting and harvesting, the time we invest planting through learning and preparing gives us the harvest of both experience and wisdom. We are in continual learning mode with the study of the book of Wisdom, which is Proverbs. On our trek for today, we will dig into the verses 18-33 of chapter 15. The title for today’s trek is taken from verse 30, and it is:

Good News Makes for Good Health

Let’s start in with verse 18:

18 A hot-tempered person starts fights;
a cool-tempered person stops them.

A person who chooses not to control their temper is one who is always looking for a fight with someone. More often than not, this person is really upset with themselves, very selfish, and does not love themselves properly. Because of this lack of self-worth, they are always trying to prove themselves by fighting with others. This could be physical or emotional abuse to others. In contrast to this is a person who chooses to keep their emotions under control, because they are comfortable and confident with who they are will do the opposite and stop fighting when it does occur.
