What's A Proverb? September 22
Over the years, various cultures and societies have established different criteria to describe whether or not one is successful. Many have put wealth at the top of the list. And money. to some degree, is important and necessary if one is to have the basic necessities of life.
Other would speak of power, prestige and one's position in society as being critical. These things express the core values of individuals who want to be recognized for what they have accomplished on the worlds stage in politics, the military, or banking and financing.
No doubt, some want to be remembered for doing some "thing" that no on else has done - like discovering a medicine that extends life or setting a record in a particular sport, inventing a product or procedure that makes life better or is useful, valuable or delightful.
But those whose lives are guided by the lessons that we find in the Proverbs are those who fear God and allow Him to guide them, guard the ad give them His gifts.
We often talk about hindsight, sometimes we wish we hade foresight, but Solomon's Proverbs give us insight to make decisions based on God's laws. proverbs provide the believer with god's wisdom that is underwritten by God's power so we may live Godly lives.
