Wisdom: A Study in Proverbsنموونە

What does it say?
Solomon’s teaching on issues of morality was a guiding light and protection to his son.
What does it mean?
Solomon asked his son to internalize what he had been taught, choosing to make it his way of life rather than mere outward compliance. Solomon’s description of his teaching likened it to Scripture, a guiding light leading down the path to life rather than self-destruction. (Psalm 119:11, 105). Parental instruction based on God’s Word also provides protection and wise counsel. Solomon said that following his words would specifically protect his son in issues of morality. Solomon was preparing his son to respond wisely to temptation before he was face-to-face with the situation.
How should I respond?
Kids have access to all kinds of immorality as close as the smart phones in their hands. While every generation faces new avenues of temptation, the moral issues remain the same. Each person must choose to either accept or disregard God’s Word. It’s our job as parents, family members, teachers, and volunteers to prepare this generation for the world they will face. But the only instruction that has lasting value comes from Scripture. In order to be effective, we must first allow God to change our lives through a personal relationship with Christ and obedience to His Word. What role is God asking you to play in guiding the next generation? Have you made godly teaching your way of life?

Written primarily by Solomon, Proverbs is a collection of axioms and teachings on practical living. The book emphasizes the fear of the Lord as the beginning of wisdom and often contrasts wisdom and foolishness. Proverbs prefigures Christ as the embodiment of True Wisdom, in whose sacrificial death and glorious resurrection is life and favor from the Lord (Proverbs 8:35).
