SAA Notes
In the Book of Proverbs, sluggards are always male and dripping taps are always female. This is not saying that these are universal truths, but are general failings of each sex. A general failing may not be someone’s particular failing! It’s for thoughtful self-evaluation. Verse 24 is so true for boys.
SJA Notes
* God of Wisdom, thank You for teaching us today – May we hearken to Your word.
“The teaching of the wise is a fountain for life, that one may turn away from the snares of death.”
In this truth we can clearly see God in the Person of the Son – King Jesus – As the _wise teacher_.
We can see Him preaching to the crowds or drawing aside with His close friends and explaining to them meaning and understanding.
In Jesus being God’s WORD BECOME FLESH – He is both WISE TEACHER and literally _the_ FOUNTAIN OF LIFE.
Jesus is the power that with finality broke the snare of death.
So that in Him we can be wise!
So that in Him we can have the water of life!
So that in Him we can turn away from the snares of death!
Jesus is the fount of wisdom, let us choose His wisdom today, following as He patterned for us while here on earth.
Hallelujah – What a Saviour!
* Father God,
Praise You for Your wisdom!
Thank You that we can obtain it and share it!
Thank You that through Jesus we are able to turn away the snares of death.
Amen.
