Today I read Proverbs 1 which talks about the purpose of Proverbs, warnings about violence, and the results of rejecting wisdom. Today I considered how God might feel about us not growing from the knowledge He provides and rejecting His wisdom and warnings.
Purpose of Proverbs
God gave us the book of Proverbs highlighting the importance of wisdom and instruction. God tells people to hear others, and receive instructions and laws from parents. We are to learn and grow in our knowledge and understanding.
Rejecting Wisdom
God has consequences for rejecting wisdom. Wisdom can be found in many places including the streets, discussion areas, and correction given by others. When wisdom and correction is rejected, God will not hear when they later call upon Him for help. We are to hear and heed God or live with consequences.
Questions and Thoughts for Today
Proverbs chapter 1 made me think the rejection of God’s instructions and warning can make him reject our cries for help.
