To work, toil and act as a means of worship, to live godly and moral lives, to remain wise and steadfast..This is how to live life...as Proverbs puts it.
A note in my Bible says, "Those who learn the practical and godly wisdom of Proverbs not only sleep better, they succeed and become able to help their family and friends. Fools and scoffers, though they appear successful, will eventually pay the cost of their lifestyle."
I wrote here some of my favorite verses in the book of Proverbs. I hope and pray that I will be able to live life each day under the wisdom and guidance of the most down-to-earth book in the Bible and eventually acquire valuable uncommon sense.
