Proverbs of Solomon, Tuesday, May 16, 2012

Today's reading begins 11 days of Proverbs.  Proverbs are listed together with proverbs of similar subject.  I will not list the scripture citings because it would fill the page.  The Proverbs are written by Solomon, Agur and Lemuel.  No further identification is given for Agur and Lemuel.  Today is an introduction of the body of work and is under the heading of wisdom.  It is fitting that the subject of wisdom is all Solomon asked of God.  In Proverbs 8 he says:  "All the words of my mouth are just, non of them is crooked or perverse."  That is a very difficult standard achieve.

Proverbs 3:24  ". . .when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. . . ."
