Proverbs


Every now and then i just enjoy reading some of the Proverbs. the book of Proverbs was written by a guy named Solomon. he was David's son; you know the David who slept with Bathsheba and the same guy who wrote the book of psalms? solomon is the son of a guy who is said to be "a man after God's heart".

solomon was given an option in 1 Kings 3:5-9 Check it Out! and God granted Solomon's requests. why? because God was pleased with his answer. when God asks me to do something, i want Him to be pleased with my answer.

only recently have i discovered a desire to read and understand the Old Testament. i used to think it was boring, full of laws that were not relavant for today's culture, but i've come to a deeper understanding. guess you could say i've gotten a little wiser.

so, getting back to proverbs... solomon was the wisest man to ever live the earth. see! guess i'm just learning about wisdom.
