—Proverbs 1:7-16
by: Lisa Moore.
There are many knowledgeable people in this world; their degrees and accomplishments testify to this. Many aspire to reach these levels to the exclusion of all else. However, Solomon was not referring to that type of knowledge. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of the kind of knowledge that puts us on the path to a godly life. Solomon unselfishly shared his God-given wisdom in many of the proverbs we read today. More importantly, he made it his duty to impart this wisdom to his son and to ensure his son understood that the instructions came from both parents. Teach, parents!
