“Proverbs of Solomon”
“Proverbs of Solomon”
Blessings folk!
We need the wisdom of the Lord.
We need the knowledge of the Lord.
We need the instruction of the Lord.
We need the understanding of the Lord.
We gain such, and more, through the Spirit and the Word.
Hear the Word of the Lord…
Pro 1:1-7
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;
To give prudence to the naive,
To the youth knowledge and discretion,
A wise man will hear and increase in learning,
And a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel,
To understand a proverb and a figure,
The words of the wise and their riddles.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge;
Fools despise wisdom and instruction.
