The purpose of these proverbs is to teach people wisdom and discipline, and to help them understand wise sayings.
—Prov. 1:2, NLT
Are you looking for “ancient
wisdom” with a modern application? Look no further; the book of Proverbs
contains your answer! Proverbs is a unique collection of short, pithy
sayings designed to impart wisdom, understanding and knowledge.
Proverbs is undoubtedly one of
the most practical books in the entire Bible. Why? Because it deals with
the practical, everyday issues of life. Oddly enough, little if any
mention is made in the book about heaven or the afterlife. Rather, it is
packed with information about living in the here and now.
