Proverbs

This book is simply written for me. I know countless people that have taken refuge in these words, but there is definitely a focus on young men learning wisdom and keeping himself pure. 9:9 tells us to "Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man and he will ad to his learning." I want to be wise. I want to be simple. I want to simply walk with God. I don't want to be pulled and tugged by every wind of doctrine. I want to be steadfast in my walk with him. I don't want to falter and fail. I want to learn to learn to walk with him on a daily basis. I want to learn to throw all of my cares and concerns on him. I want to be able to stand against the temptations of this life. I don't want to walk down the way of the harlot. I don't want to have my vision clouded or allow my defenses to be broken down. Lord, help me be aware of my surroundings. I don't want to fret. I want to walk by faith and not by sight. Proverbs communicates all of these thoughts to his people, to instruct them in the way everlasting.
