Proverbs 12 - Wicked vs Righteous - The root of the righteous gives - Walter Cummins

The righteous is always out giving, his root is to give.

Proverbs 12:14: A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth:…
First you have a root, the root gives. Then you have what? Fruit.

Proverbs 12:14: …the fruit of his mouth, and the recompence [or reward] of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him.

After you have fruit, what do you get? Rewards. So you have a root, then you have fruit, then you have reward. If you root: if you don’t have any root or your root is shallow, it’s wicked, you’re only out to take, to see what you can get, to steal, to kill, to destroy, then your fruit is going to be corrupt and there’s no rewards. But if you’re the righteous, then your root…the root of the righteous gives. That’s the attitude of the righteous, he’s established. Because giving is a principle, giving equals receiving. As you give you receive. So if your root, that’s your root, you’re giving, then what’s your fruit? It’s going to be good fruit. And you’re going to be satisfied with that fruit. And as a result there’s going to be what? reward. Isn’t that beautiful? The righteous versus the wicked. And who wins again? The righteous. Right!
