Read: Prov. 1-3
Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived wrote the book of Proverbs to help us know how to live. His quest was to know wisdom and instruction, to perceive the words of understanding; to receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, judgment and balance. He wrote these words to help the simple be wise and to teach the young men knowledge and discretion. He loved riddles, puzzles and the hard questions. He was not afraid to ask them. He understood the wisdom of listening to people in authority over him like his parents. He also understood the foolishness of walking with sinners.
God’s wisdom is everywhere you go if you can have eyes to see. God is always talking and guiding us if we will just look at the signs he gives us. When we do we walk in the Lord’s safety.
Solomon was a great believer in knowing the Word and hiding it in his heart. He bound mercy and truth about his neck as a necklace and wrote them on his heart.
He learned to trust in the Lord with all his heart not his head and to humble himself before the Lord. He honored God with his wealth and gave God his first fruits. He welcomed God’s discipline and correction. His love for wisdom and knowledge brought him riches and long life. He understood that everything made was made from the wisdom of God. It all points to God’s great glory.
Lord, give us a love for your wisdom and help us to seek it and enjoy its fruits even when we don’t understand.
