Proverbs 1

The Purpose of Proverbs:
"...to teach people wisdom and discipline, to help them understand the insights of the wise.
...to teach people to live disciplined and successful lives, to help them do what is right, just, and fair.
They will give insight to the simple, knowledge and discernment to the young."
"Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge..."
Proverbs 1:2-4,7 (New Living Life Application Bible)

I want to encourage you to seek out God's wisdom through His Word. There have been many times in my life when I have come upon a struggle and immediately sought out the answers from friends, family, books, etc. Though these can all offer support or affirmation, I have realized that I first need to seek out Christ and His guidance. He has a plan for each step of our lives, including the times that we struggle. I have found great guidance through the Proverbs. I want to encourage you to read Proverbs everyday, especially with your children. Let us fill them with God's wisdom while they are young and encourage them to seek out His Will for their lives.
God Bless!
