Proverbs 1.20-33 – Wisdom has a desire. It’s getting as many people as possible to follow her. Scripture reveals the benefits of taking the path of pursuing wisdom. It also reveals the path of those who reject her. Let’s learn from those in Scripture who show the outcome of their choice. Her call may be ignored but it can never be mistaken.
Proverbs 1.10-19 – The world offers a lot of enticing opportunities and there are those who would seek to lure us into participating in activities that scripture clearly outlines as being wrong, sinful, wicked.
