Word for the day by Christian Education Forum
Proverbs is a book of the Bible that teaches us understanding and discernment. Proverbs 4: 1-13, teaches us like God is teaching his children. This verse teaches about how a son was taught how to be wise by his father. It says “When I was my father’s son, Tender and the only one in sight of my mother, He also taught me, and said to me: “Let your heart retain my words; Keep my commands and live. Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth.” It is teaching us that it is important to learn more and encourages us to learn more about God’s ways. Verses 10-13 is telling us that we should keep the commandment and lessons we learned from God, and use them in our day-to-day lives. We must never forget what we have learned and always remember, even in our difficult times.
- Proverbs 4 is a lesson from Solomon, the son of King David. Solomon is writing these scriptures to his kids, and reminding them of what his father had taught him to always seek God, and always try to learn more about the holy one. Solomon was a man of great wisdom and is the wisest man who ever lived. Solomon is teaching his kids to learn more about God, and also use it, without ever forgetting it
- In our day-to-day lives, we go through struggles and problems, and during those times it is easy to give up and lose hope. But throughout all our struggles and trials we must remember what we have learned from God, to always put our trust in him, and to always move on with prayer, and giving thanks.
