This month I am going to embark on writing about the Proverbs of Solomon. This was encouraged by Pastor Gerrit Hoeks of Calvary Chapel South. I thought it was very fitting, especially during these times of turmoil.

In Chapter 1 it mentions that these proverbs are to be used as guidance. They would be beneficial as to how to righteously run your life and situations. When you are prone to lean on your own ways and insights, it would behoove you to hear the voice of wisdom and to not turn from her. What really stood out was the highlighting of honoring God and respecting Him. That is the beginning of wisdom. That is the key to obtaining wisdom.

I am afraid for America, that it has turned its back on God/wisdom for too long! I do trust the Lord that He is merciful, though. After all, it says in Chronicles that if His people would humble themselves and repent then He would cleanse the land. America was founded on Him and there are many believers still; so, maybe it is not too late?! Church, please intercede for the United States and get out and vote for those with Biblical standards!
