The Story - Chapter 13 - Proverbs 20-21
Looking for some “street-wise,” no nonsense advice on relationships, money, sex, business, and just about every topic that affects daily life? Go to Proverbs. The problems of the world and individuals haven’t changed since the beginning of time. According to The Journey, a bible for seeking God and understanding life, the central ideas of Proverbs are these;
-God’s Biblical directives make good sense for our lives
today.
-Running after pleasure, fame, knowledge, or riches is
futile.
-In this life, meaning only comes from living a life that’s
devoted to God.
-Practical wisdom from God is the only sure guide for life,
and it’s worth every investment to acquire.
Each entry in Proverbs: 20-21 is two lines, with one
message. Though they seem disconnected from each other at first glance, after
close consideration you may find a common thread weaved throughout them all.
They are basic rules for living, but there are so many! Do’s and don’ts, words
of warning, cautions, and guidance for our actions and our hearts fill the
pages of Proverbs. It’s good stuff!
King Solomon, though incredibly wise still became victim to
the world and its evils. No one is immune except Jesus himself. God understands
this, so looks to us to just keep trudging along, and using what He has
provided us to stay on track or get back on the right path to Him. Proverbs is
one of the tools we have been offered. God has led us to this water, but will
not make us drink. It is up to us to swallow up his words, take others by the
hand, and live our lives as He instructs.
