Wisdom Series: Proverbs

Anyone else want to be less of a mess?

We all wish we knew more about life, right? We all want to have wisdom and understanding, to know how to behave, to recognize what’s right and avoid what’s wrong. We all want to make good choices, to live well and, if we’re children of God, to please Him and honor Him in our lives. And, being the messes that we are, we all need serious help to do any of those things.

Good news! The Lord gives wisdom.

This will be an ongoing series of short reflections on, reminders of, and pointers to the wisdom God gives us through His Word. I pray the Lord uses them to point us all to the truth and wisdom He has so generously provided!
