PASSING IT ON
Today's reading: Proverbs 26-27

I think about Solomon dictating his proverbs to his scribes.

Day after day. Sentence after sentence. Thought after thought.

I think about why he did it, why he had written down what he had learned or experienced or viewed as an outsider looking in.

He did it for his children, for his citizens, for posterity, for us.

He wanted us to be wiser and more prepared for life than we are.

He was led by God to teach with down to earth words about every day things.
