from page B3
Lesson: Solomon encour
ages his son to follow the
example set before him. It's
his choice! If he chooses cor
rectly, he will have long life.
The pursuit of wisdom
should be taken seriously.
Solomon teaches by example
and wants his son to take
note. Seeking wisdom may
not be easy all the time but it
is worthwhile. Long life here
doesn't mean that only the
foolish die young. Based on
the Hebrew Greek Bible,
long life (chay) is a set of
experiences rooted in a holis
tically view of humanity -
body, mind and spirit. Life
then is associated with
health, prosperity, and vitali
ty. It's having a full life.
Then he cautions the son not
to choose the path of wicked
ness. Verses 16-19 list the
consequences of the wrong
path. Protecting the heart is
essential because from it
(lows one's actions and
words. Temptations will
arise, but discipline keeps the
eye on what's important.
Application: Our journey
is the same as our ancestors.
By observation, clinging to
instruction, and at times
learning from failures, leads
us to wisdom. We must begin
with respect for God without
leaning on our own under
standing. What do we really
know? To live a truly sue
cessful life, our priorities
must be in order! We are two
beings in one. At times, our
physical selves can get us all
turned around. If we apply
wisdom's lessons, life will be
rewarding. Being wealthy,
powerful, and popular must
not be what we think.
Observe how miserable a lot
of those people are. To real
ly appreciate this gift of life,
we must apply God's stan
dards, not society's. Do the
children in your world see a
good example? We do the
things that are in our hearts.
Guard yours from evil by fol
lowing the path of wisdom.
For me, that means doing the
right thing at the right time
for the right reason.
