Proverbs - Good night Jesus Disciples… We are going deep into Proverbs. Before we do, why should we? Proverbs are sayings and riddles for the wise. Solomon makes a direct plea for you to take in wisdom like your Mother’s milk. He warns against taking in wisdom. He says ALL knowledge starts with fear of the Lord. So if you have no fear, then it would be possible to have no knowledge. Proverbs 1, Verse 7, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and disciple.”
We all know how hard it is to open our Bibles and read 1-2 pages. We know it’s good for us too. We know we will feel better, have more wisdom, but here we are not reading the Bible. If you fear the Lord enough, opening the Bible becomes easier and easier. Perhaps Proverbs is a code for those that are scared to look Jesus in the face. There are plenty of people who want to spit at his face, swing whips and sticks at him, others who want him dead. As for me, I take John the Baptists opinion. I am not worthy to even hold his sandals. I am terrified of telling him that I knew Jesus was my Messiah, I knew what he wanted of me, that I knew what was wise, yet I didn’t change one bit.
So, don’t just read wisdom. Execute wisdom. Someone who knows but does not do, does not know. Those who know, do.
