Proverbs is one of the books in the Bible that will give you something new every time you read it. A collection of fortune cookies without the calories. Most of the verses of Proverbs are there to tell you that of all the things you look for in life, knowledge will pay the most dividends. The warning is that you should never think of yourself as wise because once you have, you become foolish and the world passes you by.
In our Sunday bible studies, the last thing that we ask ourselves after reading the passage is, "what is God calling me to do?" Proverbs, I believe, is a book meant for our society today. One that prioritizes wealth and fame over education, humility and work ethic. Our nation is far from humble and Proverbs is the first to tells us that being a wealthy nation does not mean that we can stop learning!
