”Let the wise listen to these proverbs and become even wiser.
Let those with understanding receive guidance by exploring the meaning in these proverbs and parables, the words of the wise and their riddles.
Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.“
Proverbs 1:5-7 NLT
Looking around, watching the news, seeing a culture that seems to be throwing reasoning skills out with last week’s leftovers, I wonder, “Is there any wisdom among us?”
In the Bible, there is a book of wisdom called Proverbs.
This particular book has 31 chapters, so, in the very, merry month of May, I will be strolling through the proverbial park, and hopefully, taken by surprise by a pair of Godly eyes, as I try to find some wisdom to apply to this weird world I am encountering.
I hope you will take this walk with me, and feel free to add your own comments from the proverb of the day (corresponding to the day of the month).
I usually read the proverb and highlight a couple of verses that seem to catch my attention on this particular day, and think about it for a while.
My posts may not be on the exact day ( today is May 2 and today’s is on the one I read yesterday, Proverbs 1.)
If you have never tried this method in Proverbs, give it a try and take the walk with me.
You may be astounded how your mind will open up to ideas that come from your creator, and how your knowledge and understanding of Him and His ways will grow.
Or, you may prefer your simple life. You may have “more important things to do.”
But, beware. . . .
”“When they cry for help, I will not answer.
Though they anxiously search for me, they will not find me.
For they hated knowledge and chose not to fear the Lord.
They rejected my advice and paid no attention when I corrected them.
Therefore, they must eat the bitter fruit of living their own way, choking on their own schemes.
For simpletons turn away from me—to death.
Fools are destroyed by their own complacency.
But all who listen to me will live in peace, untroubled by fear of harm.”“
Proverbs 1:28-33 NLT
