Lord,
How many times have I read through these chapters and verses? How many times as a young believer did I cling to your Proverbs? My heart so desired direction and understanding that I would meditate on them day and night. My young mind desired wisdom and wisdom you delivered. My young spirit thirsted for direction, and you gave direction.
Still, as I walk through my faith, your Proverbs are an anchor for my soul. They remind me of the contrast between earthly wisdom and your wisdom. They provide me with comfort and peace. They are a practical means of daily centering my focus on you, Lord.
Thank you for the wisdom you have provided in these verses, Lord. They are invaluable for your people. May the young and old consume these chapters and see that they are like honey: rich and sweet. They provide nourishment where one is lacking and fills the stomach.
Amen
