Reminder: The Purpose of Proverbs

Good morning everyone!
It's April already!! Time truly flies...

Today's bold print is chapter 1, verses 2-3, NLTse:

Proverbs 1:2-3

2 "Their purpose is to teach people wisdom and discipline, to help them understand the insights of the wise.

3 Their purpose is to teach people to live disciplined and successful lives, to help them do what is right, just, and fair."

I thought we should stop and be reminded why we study Proverbs. What are the benefits?

I observe many leaders and have found that the great ones are wise enough not to try and expound on certain things sometimes. They realize that all that needs to be said -- HAS been said and that's how I feel about these two verses. They clearly state the purpose of Proverbs and what can be gained by studying them.

So, make the wise choice today and meditate on these verses and re-commit yourself to living a disciplined and successful life!!
