Proverbs Chapters 5 – 8

Proverbs 6:1-19 ~ The Instruction Concerning the Principles of Responsibility

You need to choose whether you are going to be the lazy guy who is going to come to poverty. Or are you going to be like that ant on the anthill? Unsupervised, self-motivated, self-disciplined, knows what he has to do and gets up and does it. You can choose which way to go. You can either wind up in poverty because you signed for the debts of your friend. Or you can wind up in poverty just because you do not like to go to work; you do not like to do what is necessary. What is your motive for what you are doing?

Proverbs 8:1-21 ~ The Instruction of Wisdom

"It is personal. Wisdom is not just something that appears in someone's mind. Wisdom is Jesus Christ Himself, His teachings, His influence. Some people think it is just the Bible, but it is the Bible energized by and personified in the person of Jesus Christ. You develop a personal relationship with Him personally and His wisdom guides us through life itself."
