  1. The Proverbs contain so much wisdom useful for life…some more than others. It is sad but true that people are drawn to the rich and powerful and often avoid the poor. But better to be poor than be a liar and false witnesses will not go unpunished. And yet when we are generous to the poor it is like lending to the Lord because He is the One who has their back. And we can make our plans, but it is the Lord’s will that prevails, so we are best to understand what He desires most, seek His wisdom and follow His ways.

  2. We will miss the mark if we are hasty with our decisions. Gather knowledge, have patience and inquire of the Lord before moving forward. God’s way will always prevail so it is wise to keep in step with him.

  3. The one who gets wisdom loves life;
    the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper.
    This reminded me that we have so many opportunities to gain wisdom; through sermons, counsel, friends advice, and most importnantly through God’s guidance. However, we need to hold it and keep it. We take in information all the time that is in one ear and out the other but we really must hold onto and cherish the wisdom of God because we are never sure when the next storm will come and when we will need to embrace the truths, knowledge, and wisdom of God for ourselves or to help others.
