rumors, gossip, pride, work, wealth, non-listening, and your spirit?

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!
     While reading this morning I came across this scripture and we all have probably read it many times.  However, I ask that you slow down, take your time, and there are only 8 verses, take 30 seconds to a minute to ponder on each on.  See where it leads you.  Love you all.

Proverbs 18:7-14King James Version (KJV)

A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.
The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.
10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
11 The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.
12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.
13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?

Proverbs 18:7-14New International Version (NIV)

The mouths of fools are their undoing, and their lips are a snare to their very lives.
The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to the inmost parts.
One who is slack in his work is brother to one who destroys.
10 The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.
11 The wealth of the rich is their fortified city; they imagine it a wall too high to scale.
12 Before a downfall the heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor.
13 To answer before listening— that is folly and shame.
14 The human spirit can endure in sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear?

Do you see the rumors, gossip, pride, work, wealth, non-listening, and your spirit?  If this reaches you and touches your heart, mind, and soul - please let me know.  It really spoke to me.
In Christ's Love and Grace
