A manual for living,
for learning what's right and just and fair;
To teach the inexperienced the ropes
and give our young people a grasp on reality.
There's something here also for seasoned men and women,
still a thing or two for the experienced to learn—
Fresh wisdom to probe and penetrate,
the rhymes and reasons of wise men and women.
Day 1
to understand what life means and where it's going;
for learning what's right and just and fair;
To teach the inexperienced the ropes
and give our young people a grasp on reality.
There's something here also for seasoned men and women,
still a thing or two for the experienced to learn—
Fresh wisdom to probe and penetrate,
the rhymes and reasons of wise men and women.
Proverbs 1 MSG (emphasis added)
Oh wow! who hasn't felt like they don't understand what life means some time or which direction to take? A manual for living? Are you kidding me! I gotta find out. And yea, who hasn't thought some people REALLY need a gras on reality? I think I do some times.
only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning.
This requires humbleness and recognizing there's someone higher than us. We're not gods, we're so fragile as humans and we are a small tiny dot in the library of earth and the universe history. Maybe we can learn something if we humble a little, and we can start by paying attention to some of those things our parents taught us.
Pay close attention, friend, to what your father tells you;
never forget what you learned at your mother's knee.
Wear their counsel like flowers in your hair,
like rings on your fingers.
never forget what you learned at your mother's knee.
Wear their counsel like flowers in your hair,
like rings on your fingers.
That's it for day 1. Next post should be shorter I think.
