Listening to Wisdom's Voice

Hear, my son, your father's instruction, and forsake not your mother's teaching, for they are a graceful garland for your head and pendants for your neck. - Proverbs 1:8–9 (ESV) The older I get the smarter my parents have become. I'm not sure what class they took or books they had read, but they became geniuses. When I was younger they had no idea what the world was really like. Now, my dad seems to have a realistic and wise outlook of what is going on. The truth of this perspective is not that he has changed, but my ears have become uncorked with age. In Proverbs 1, Wisdom calls to the youth to consider who you will listen to. Who will influence your thinking and direction? Wisdom is calling out, but so are a company of fools. Who will you listen to? This week, I'm looking forward to hearing my friend Jim Maynard open up God's Word. Take some time to prepare your heart and mind before Sunday to read through Proverbs 1.
