HAPPY EVER AFTER – Proverbs 10:15-25 – 6-22-25

As we continue to familiarize ourselves with this great literary form of scripture otherwise foreign to us, let us pause to appreciate its great value! How different and infinitely more valuable are the words of Proverbs than the quasi – wisdom literature of our day. What is the popular “wisdom” of our day? Whether it’s the motivating appeals to the hope of success designed to inspire a sense of determination, so-called ‘influencers’ promoting the latest shiny thing, or sports figures and celebrities exalting the virtue and reward of chasing one’s dreams… one thing is certain, no one will be listening to these messages a thousand years from now.  Yet today we have before us a record of wisdom that has stood the test of 3,000 years.  If you didn’t have access to the Proverbs of scripture, it would be worth selling all that you had to own a copy of this book we are beholding this morning.
