Proverbs 9

I think we all start out simple.  By the way, when Proverbs refers to the simple, its not a compliment.  It means simple-minded, naïve, easily fooled.  Two different voices call, both cry out from “the highest point of the city” (v.3 & 14)  One voice is wisdom.  She has set her table and prepared a great meal for us to eat.  Those who eat her food and drink her drink will be blessed beyond measure.  The other voice is Folly.  Her food also taste good, at least for a season.  But the meal is a short one, because her guests end up “in the depths of the grave” (v.18).

I would love to hear your thoughts on the subject of today’s message.  Did you realize how many blessings were associated with the Fear of the Lord?  What changes are you going to make in your life to live in the Fear of the Lord?
