Proverbs 1:7 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Fearing God is not to be afraid of, but rather, to have ultimate respect for an awesome and loving God. Your and my entire existence is only because of our Creator. How could we do anything other than listen to His wisdom and instruction? Only fools would do anything less. Listen, learn, apply and enjoy the peace, comfort and hope which only He can provide.

Proverbs 1:5 “let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance.” Solomon couldn’t be more direct—listen, learn, care and apply. The most valuable course any of us could take is not on line or in a classroom–it is in our homes in a Book waiting to be opened. Free–just like grace and peace, comfort and hope. How blessed each of us is able to live and look forward to eternity.. Have a great weekend.

Proverbs 1:5 “let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance.–” The Proverbs should be a book we all read and ponder repeatedly. The next step to reading and pondering is applying. The applying is where our own wisdom becomes evident to both ourselves and to those we teach through our activities throughout life.

Proverbs 1:3 “for receiving instruction in prudent behavior, doing what is right and just and fair.” Solomon’s inspired words couldn’t be of more value. Not only are they God’s words, they are words to be ingested and then become a part of your and my life, providing for wisdom and character building personality. With that sentence being true, wouldn’t we want to not only read and study very carefully, but ultimately apply what our God has to say?

Proverbs 1:2 “for gaining wisdom and instruction; for understanding words of insight;” Solomon asked God for wisdom and God gave wisdom to him. You and I pray for the same. Wisdom is KEY to both understanding and teaching. A person or a nation lives in chaos and confusion with a lack of wisdom. The true source of wisdom–now read carefully–ONLY comes from knowing the true God. That is why we will be studying the book of Proverbs and learning His words of wisdom. Enjoy and apply.

Philemon 1:13b “…while I am in chains for the gospel.” God’s grace has so controlled Paul (the author of Philemon) that he cannot escape. Every Christian enjoys being enveloped by the saving grace found only through our Savior’s sacrifice. Our every movement is dictated by the phenomenal truth of God’s grace. Worries, fear, anxiety and all typical human weakness disappears when we allow the grace of our God to bind each of us to the loving and embracing arms of our Heavenly Father.
