With study and focus, see His plan for you.

For the month of July let's move on to the next set of verses in Proverbs lessons.

July 1, 2012

Proverbs 1:5-6   “ a wise man will hear , and will increase learning ; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsel : to understand a proverb , and the interpretation ; the words of the wise and their dark sayings .”

            Plato had his school at the same time that Solomon was teaching by Proverbs, but one important detail separated these two schools. Plato’s school was only open to the learned and ones who showed great potential for success. Solomon’s school was based on a different premise; anyone who God has blessed with wisdom—regardless of station—can grow and learn. The primary gifts of these are counseling and interpretation.

            God is like that; He may not bless all with riches, but He blesses all with gifts from which richness may come. If your gift is wisdom God calls on you to share, counsel, and interpret His word to others.

Lord, we love You today and with study and focus, we can see Your plan for us throughtout life. Help us to accept Your plan and act accordingly. In His service, Amen.

our plans for us. Help us, Lord, to accept your Will for our lives and to share our love and gifts with everyone—regardless of station. For Your service we live.    Amen
