Wisdom

Proverbs 1:1-7

Prologue: Purpose and Theme
1 The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:

2 for attaining wisdom and discipline;
for understanding words of insight;

3 for acquiring a disciplined and prudent life,
doing what is right and just and fair;

4 for giving prudence to the simple,
knowledge and discretion to the young-

5 let the wise listen and add to their learning,
and let the discerning get guidance-

6 for understanding proverbs and parables,
the sayings and riddles of the wise.

7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools [a] despise wisdom and discipline.

Bee's Thoughts:

The Book of Proverbs contains many wise sayings which can guide our lives. It helps the readers to be disciplined and prudent, and to understand the words of insight.

I, for one, need to read the Book of proverbs again so that my simple mind will become wise, and I will have more discretion in dealing with people. Most of all I need to fear God that I may do what is right, for He sees everything.

Dear Lord,
Your word is life. It can save me from destruction. It can help me be wise in doing what is good. Let me meditate upon Your word daily. Let me fear none but You alone, and do what is right in my workplace.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
