The Need for Wisdom

“The Proverbs of Solomon the son of David, King of Israel; to know wisdom and instruction, to discern the sayings of understanding. To receive instruction in wise behavior, Righteousness, justice and equity...” Prov 1:1-3

The best way to live is according to the Word of God. The Word of God is given for OUR good and not God’s good or benefit. God loves us and has therefore given us truths to live by, that when obeyed brings us joy and victory in our life.

The greatest wisdom one can show is to walk in God’s wisdom according to God’s Will.

Right now we are living in a culture that seems to be devoid of God’s wisdom, we are being saturated with the worlds wisdom and not God’s truth.

We are a generation that is being brain-washed by the media - and we are being deceived - we are told half-truths and flat out lies, but too many people don’t seem to care or have the ability to know the difference.

We are in desperate need of God’s wisdom. The Book of Proverbs forms a library of instruction for living godly lives. Remember, there are two ways to learn – the hard way or the easy way. Proverbs was given to us so that we wouldn’t have to learn the hard way!
