Joy In Fellowship

Proverbs: Emotions 1. Give appropriate care to the emotions you inspire. -Do you increase quarrels? (10:12, 15:1, 16:14, Deescalate). -Do you forget God’s emotions? (15:9). -Do you tire others? (25:14, 25:17). -Do you stir up anger unnecessarily? (25:23, 27:14, 15:18, 19:11, 20:3). -As a gift and responsibility, certain relationship deserve special attention. (10:1, 15:20 , 17:25, 19:26, 20:20, 23:24, 23:25, 27:11). 2. Consider that which adds sorrow. (10:22, 10:24, 10:28). 3. Emotional responses are rightly or wrongly ordered. -Do you have “right revulsion”? (10:26, 11:6, 12:8, 12:12, 13:5). -Do you have right happiness? (12:10, 15:21, 15:23). -Do you have right ambition? (13:4, 14:17, 15:17, 17:1). 4. Your emotions respond to criticism. -Do not weigh criticism primarily by whether a person is qualified to give it. (17:10). -Avoid some unhelpful and useless criticism. (17:12, 17:14, 26:9, 17:27). 5. Your emotions, through your actions, create character. -Rather than being random or unexplained, emotions generally follow actions. (18:3, 19:3). -Like hot metal, emotions harden into character. (16:32, 17:3). -The steady work of emotions purchases the sturdiness of character. (23:17, 23:18, 23:20, 23:21-23, 24:1-2). -Train emotion with truth. (24:9, 25:21-22, 27:2, 27:4-6, 27:9, 29:1, 29:11). 6. Lift up the sick of heart. (12:25, 13:12, 15:13, 15:15, 15:30, 17:22, 18:14, 25:20, 25:25). 7. Address your own sickness of heart. (20:9, 21:2, 21:4, 27:19).
