Wisdom of Solomon

The Book of Proverbs is full of wisdom for life. The challenge for the reader is to apply that wisdom. Proverbs 8:32-36 identifies, for example, what we must do to put our faith into action: 32-33: “Now therefore, O sons, listen to me, For blessed are they who keep my ways. We must listen to […]
