In a world captivated by catchy phrases and quotes, we often see inspirational words from luminaries like Lincoln, Churchill, and Maya Angelou adorning our walls, phone cases, and t-shirts. But what if we expanded our horizons to include the deep-seated wisdom of the Bible? Solomon’s Proverbs 1:1-6 (The Message Version) offers a treasure trove of insight:
“These are the wise sayings of Solomon, David’s son, Israel’s king—Written down so we’ll know how to live well and right, to understand what life means and where it’s going; A manual for living, for learning what’s right and just and fair; To teach the inexperienced the ropes and give our young people a grasp on reality. There’s something here also for seasoned men and women, still a thing or two for the experienced to learn—Fresh wisdom to probe and penetrate, the rhymes and reasons of wise men and women.”
Imagine the power of surrounding ourselves not just with the words of great historical figures, but also with the scriptural wisdom that has guided countless generations. Dive in, hang a verse or two on your wall, share with others—these verses are not just fun quips and inspiring sayings — the scriptures teach us how to live well, live right, live life with understanding, and know where life is going. Most importantly, scriptures provide us instruction for salvation!
