The Truth About Proverbs

Ok so when you read this title you think, this is gonna be heavy. It’s not. It’s just about a realization I had recently. Whether you believe in the Bible or not, Proverbs has some really good life lessons, for adults and kids alike. Now, I’m not claiming to be the most Godly person out there, so don’t go throwing this stuff back in my face if I present “not so God-like the next time you see me. Haha. However, I do believe he’s out there and I think he and whoever came up with the Bible had some cool stuff to say. And, Proverbs is an awesome example of that. For instance, take the one about of you hang out with food, you become one. Or, A wise man will hear and increase learning. Duh. Fools despise wisdom and instruction.  Yep. Or, spare the rod, spoil the child. That’s a doozie. (Some people aren’t into spankings. I get it. But when it’s done controlled and out of love and not anger, with instruction, it can be useful.  But another post for another day) :). How about listen to your mom and dad?  Anyway, I could go on and on. Did you know they there are enough Proverbs for you to read one a day for a month?  And, you don’t have to be a Christian or super God follower for it to make sense. They are just common life lessons. AND, a lot of them are what the foundation of how we conduct ourselves as beings on this planet are built. So, just a thought. Check it out. And if you have already, check it out again. I find that I need to re-up on Proverbs about once a year. Probably could be more, considering I’m a constant backslider. Don’t judge me.  Talk soon, friends!
