February 20, 2013 – Proverbs 1

The beginning of Proverbs tells us about why Solomon is writing these down. It is to teach and protect us. The first group is about what not to do. It is about the evil that comes to those that do not listen and obey God. I am always drawn to the notion that those that do evil are setting the trap for themselves. That has been a recurring thing throughout the Bible. God allows us to make our own choices and when we begin to choose the wrong path, it will lead us to bad things. God allows it to teach us and more times than not, the bad thing is a direct result of our choosing the wrong.
