Proverbs 1
from Wisdom in Proverbs · host Mara Do Nascimento Martins
Proverbs are for us to understand wisdom and the way of life in a clear and more objective way. Teach us to walk with fewer errors, in a lighter and more practical way. Proverbs is neither a self-help book nor a tested cake recipe. It is a Biblical truth experienced by the author himself and that working in his life wrote them, and has worked in the life of those who have struggled to put his words into practice. God only gives us wisdom if our heart really desires it. It is not if we keep repeating what we want that will come into our lives. It is intimate and personal to the search. It's you and God. As he knows us intimately he knows how we are desiring. To extract gold you need a lot of demand. Understanding will only be found when we really look for how to look for gold. It depends on effort, will and never giving up, because when we give up we are really close.
