Wisdom

I read three chapters this morning, Proverbs 7-9. The overpowering theme here is the admonition to acquire wisdom. In Proverbs 8, Solomon speaks as wisdom, and says in verse 20: "I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgement..." Thus will I seek wisdom from God, who giveth to all who ask.

More Proverbs

Well, so far my "daily" blog hasn't been too successful, but hopefully i'll get better at remembering...

I read Proverbs 6 today, and as usual, there is a lot of great wisdom to be had. One of my favorite passages is verses 20-22:

My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother;
Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

I want to have God's law bound about my neck; I want Him to write His law in my heart.
