There is so much knowledge and common sense written in the Proverbs, and yet such profound wisdom and depth, I thought it would be interesting to look at what God
has to say to us.
Proverbs 1:1-6 "The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
2) To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
3) To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
4) To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
5) A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
6) To understnd a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark saying."
Surely we want to know what wisdom and instruction God has for us, and we want to perceive the words of understanding. We pray to receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, judgement and equity.
We all need to pray and ask God to show us the practical, everyday application of the proverbs the Word gives us.
