QT Proverbs 1:1-7

Proverbs 1:1 The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:
2 for gaining wisdom and instruction;
for understanding words of insight;
3 for receiving instruction in prudent behavior,
doing what is right and just and fair;
4 for giving prudence to those who are simple, [a]
knowledge and discretion to the young—
5 let the wise listen and add to their learning,
and let the discerning get guidance—
6 for understanding proverbs and parables,
the sayings and riddles of the wise. [b]
7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools [c] despise wisdom and instruction.

What is Proverbs all about? In this passage I see God telling me that He is giving me the tools here to become wise. The need for this is major in this day and age! We need to know how to make the wise decisions in our lives. Will we go with everyone else or follow God?

I believe that God will continue to work in my life daily. There are so many things that I pray for daily that I cannot even put here. If I follow the words of the Bible, I cannot do wrong. I will follow Jesus' teachings. We need the knowledge of how to behave in the world to shine our light for God. I believe that God will win the battles in my house. Satan can go away from here. This is God's house.
