A key word in the book of Proverbs is wisdom. It means the ability to live life skillfully; a godly life in an ungodly world. Proverbs gives godly instructions on how to live in this troubled time. We would do very well to pay attention to it. Despite not always living in wisdom, King Solomon was gifted by God with wisdom, and so it makes sense that the Biblical book of Proverbs is considered one of his legacies. Proverbs is written as Hebrew poetry, using a lot of imagery. It contains teaching, stories and examples. It is not a book to skim over quickly, but one that requires meditation and careful consideration as you read. Proverbs 1:7 tells us, “The fear of
the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” While this book is great for all, it is especially good for young people to read, learn, and develop in.

Wasting Your Life; Proverbs 18-20
As a pastor, there were many people I had the privilege to speak to week by week who were coming to church all the while struggling to break their addictions with drugs and alcohol. One of those dear ones told me that she had been bound by drugs since she was about twelve years old. She also told...
