TODAY’S PROVERB: Hear, my son, your father’s instruction and forsake not your mother’s teaching. Proverbs 1:8

Roll back the scroll

Time to roll back to Proverbs 1. What new insights will our Heavenly Father have for us in March? How will He deepen our understanding of the ancient wisdom. What reminders from the past will He show us — how we can live out that wisdom? All the things that build us into the daughters and sons He created us to be. Are you ready?

In today’s proverb King Solomon’s son is reminded to listen to instructions and teachings from his parents. Many Psalms were King David’s instructions and teachings to his son, Solomon.

The fear of Adonai is the beginning of wisdom.
All who follow His precepts have good understanding.
His praise endures forever! Psalms 111:10

How blessed are those who have parents who raised them in wisdom and faith. How blessed are parents who have children who walk in God’s grace and knowledge.

Wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and discernment are legacies more valuable than silver and gold, or precious jewels.

What if we were not blessed with parents who raised us in wisdom or faith? What if we have no children walking in grace or knowledge?

We are not lost, for we have our Heavenly Father who is the fount of all wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and discernment. We are His children who can walk in grace and knowledge. He will teach us, each day, every day, if we chose to listen.

The wonder of it all is that it doesn’t matter our age when we begin. He will teach us. We simply have to sit still and pay attention to what He teaches us in His word.  Each day we can chose to read that chapter of Proverbs. We can chose Who we will follow. We can chose Who we will serve.

Today is the beginning of new wisdom, knowledge, and understanding, my friends. Are you ready?
