Wisdom - Proverbs

September is back to school time.  The reason we go to school is to gain knowledge and wisdom.  God has given us a book of wisdom that provides guidance for how to live our lives.
 
The book of Proverbs is meant as a guideline for living.  The advice that is given is often true but not a guarantee to occur.  Proverbs 22:6 states "Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it."  This is what we should do but certainly there are some children who were raised properly and end up making poor decisions as adults.
 
We should consider Proverbs to be "truisms" rather than absolute truth.  What is shared  in Proverbs will be true probably 95%-98% of the time.  When it doesn't hold true however it's not because we failed or God failed. 
 
Proverbs still gives us better advice on living our lives than any self help book or life coach.  These words are inspired by God and we can't do better than to listen to what God advises us to do.
 
See our daily devotions on more of Proverbs.
