MAY 1,  Proverbs 1:1-7

King Solomon was said to be the wisest king in Israel. He wrote most parts of the book of Proverbs. Proverbs are wise sayings and they teach us how to live a blessed and godly life. If we understand, and more importantly, do what the Proverbs teach us, we will be wise in so many areas of our life: sin, money, our speech, our friends and family.

In this world, it is important that we do not listen to the people who tell us wrong things, or messages from TVs, Internet, books, magazines… However, Proverbs is a book we can trust. Proverbs is God’s Word, “a lamp unto our feet and light unto our path.” It will guide us so that we grow up to be upright children of God.

Put these words in the right column.

Thought: Learn from the wise, and be wise.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, teach me how to live wisely every day. I thank You for Proverbs, and I especially want to live my life according to Proverbs 1:7, that I may fear and love Thee. In Jesus’ name, amen.
