Daily Fountain Devotional 25 August 2022 MESSAGE
In the history of Israel from the time of the kings, Solomon was the one to whom the Israelites turned for wisdom. Though Solomon was not the sole writer of the Book of Proverbs, yet the book begins with giving credit to Solomon for his wisdom (v.1). It is not out of point to say that Solomon was actually talking about the ethical teaching that expresses a truth concerning living in today’s passage.
He said in verse 7: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction”, meaning that to achieve what he mentioned in verses 2-6, one must have the fear of the Lord. He also advised the young ones that it is most honourable for them to obey their parents (vv. 8-9) and concluded by telling them to shun or avoid bad company which would make them end up in wretchedness and ruin (vv. 10-19), because, evil company corrupts good habits (1 Cor. 15:33).
Brethren, since it is not out of place to say that Solomon was talking about the ethical teaching that expresses a truth concerning living; then it is important we know that to live a life that pleases God, we must adhere strictly to all His instructions, especially as it concerns today’s passage.
We are to always remember that obedience is better than sacrifice. And if obedience is better than sacrifice, why would we then choose to go after something that has less quality and abandon that which has greater quality?
PRAYER: It is not by power nor by might but by my spirit says the Lord.Father, give me listening ears and a consented heart that I may do that which pleases You always.
