Good Morning,
Proverbs 1:1-6 (New International Version)
The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:
for attaining wisdom and discipline;
for understanding words of insight;
for acquiring a disciplined and prudent life,
doing what is right and just and fair;
for giving prudence to the simple,
knowledge and discretion to the young-
let the wise listen and add to their learning,
and let the discerning get guidance-
for understanding proverbs and parables,
the sayings and riddles of the wise.
Sometimes we need to have a reason "why" in order that we read the Bible, or, really to do almost anything worthwhile.
That's the reason that this has come along to us today, I think. So that we have a really good "why" to read not only the Book of Proverbs, but the whole Bible. Read these 6 short verses of Scripture. Look at what God is telling us in what He gave to Solomon to write for all posterity...for all generations...for all time.
Now, read them again if you need just a bit more of a "nudge" in why you ought to get into a regular habit of reading your Bible. These words of wisdom should make us all more fully understand the reasons, the "whys," of reading God's words to us.
If we don't take these words to heart and, then, do as they say...read the Bible...then we have wasted the greatest asset we could possibly have to leading and living a good, decent, and productive life.
Love, peace, and blessings,
David
