Meditations From Proverbs, Part 3

"For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them." - Proverbs 1:32

We have a nature that pushes wisdom away. God guides us through the maze of life with His Word, so that we may avoid the consequences of our fallenness. The reason God says what He does is that He knows our plight and sinful bent. Proverbs helps us make wise choices that would otherwise not be made. We tend to be lead by our flesh and not the spirit. This is our scar from the fall. As we go through this book together, I would encourage you to consider those proverbs which are calling you to change. As we change together, we will see God do great things. That the way I see things.
