Provers shows us that it is easy to be a fool in this world, but it is a much greater task to be a person filled with wisdom.

While the way of folly over-promises and under-produces, the way of wisdom makes promises and then over-produces in our lives.

The wisdom found in Proverbs provides practical insights to help guide a person in their own behaviors, as well as to guard them from the behaviors of others.

Solomon takes a fatherly approach as he teaches the value of seeking and gaining wisdom because he knew the benefit of God’s wisdom in a person’s life.

Solomon could have asked for many things, but he chose to ask for wisdom from the Lord, and to trust God in determining the quality of his life.
