PROVERBS 24

WISDOM IS LIKE A HOUSE BUILT ON A FIRM FOUNDATION

Solomon describes wisdom as a house built on a firm established foundation and rooms filled with precious riches. Knowledge is gained by wise guidance and an abundance of counselors. When we find wisdom, it is sweet like honey and gives hope for the future.

Even when our enemies fail, we should not rejoice. If possible, we should redirect those who are headed in a bad direction and hold back those going towards ruin.

Whoever is lazy and sluggish will allow their fields to become overgrown and ruled by thorns. In these situations, poverty sneaks up quickly like an armed robber.
