PROVERBS 28:2 MSG
“When the country is in chaos, everybody has a plan to fix it— But it takes a leader of real understanding to straighten things out.”
GOLD NUGGETS
Alexander McLaren, a famous preacher from a past generation, said: “Proverbs is portable medicine wisdom for the fevers of youth.”Let me confidently add that with medicine what matters is that you take it whether you know the doctor who prescribed it or not. There’s no doubt that a number of people (old and young, men and women) have come to faith in Christ through reading the book of Proverbs. One such person said: “When I applied the principles of Proverbs and saw that these wise and witty sayings really worked, I was drawn to search for the One whose hand was so clearly present in the book and also in my life. After reading the Instruction Manual [Proverbs] I wanted to know the Instructor.” Not everyone, of course, will react in that way, but I myself am convinced that by encouraging and exposing people, especially young people, to the ideas and concepts of Proverbs is one of the greatest forms of evangelism that can be conducted. Heavenly Father, please help us to dwell deep in this book (Proverbs). Please help us to glean and unearth wisdom and understanding in it to straighten us and shape the younger generation for good. SHALOM – Peace: God’s all encompassing blessings to you 🙏🏾
Amen and Amen 🙏
