This week we have been looking at the book of Proverbs. Proverbs is a collection of practical truths, a collection of sensible answers to all manner of complex difficulties in our human lives. Proverbs is the greatest "how-to" book ever written, and we should have the sense and faith to take Solomon’s lessons to heart. By following the advice in Proverbs, we will discover godliness, blessing, and contentment.
​
The recurring principle of the Book of Proverbs is that those who choose wisdom and follow God will be blessed in numerous ways: with long life (9:11); prosperity (2:20-22); joy (3:13-18); and the goodness of God (12:21). Those who reject Him, on the other hand, suffer shame and death (3:35; 10:21). To reject God is to choose folly over wisdom. Let’s choose wisdom through God’s word and through the Holy Spirit working in us.

This weekend is Memorial Day weekend. Visit a local park and pack a picnic. Enjoy time with friends and families as we remember all those who have lived on earth, and have now passed onto the spiritual world. As Christians, we know the glory and peace that awaits us in the presence of God.

Have a great weekend!
