Give prudence to the simple, to the young knowledge and discretion – Proverbs 1: 4

Solomon wants to add that there are more reasons for his proverbs. It means to tell the average or less than average person, the simple man can learn and receive good instruction from his words. And for the young when we all need knowledge and discretion these words of this book can guide them. Let me share with you …

OUR TEXT:

4 To give understanding to the simple,

To the young knowledge and discretion.

Now, in the online dictionary it says that prudence is:

-noun

1. The quality or the fact of being prudent.

2. caution with regard to practical matters; discretion.

3. Consideration for one’s own interests.

4. preventive care in resource management; economy; frugality

Solomon wants us to know that if we spend enough time on the book he has written, we can eat our lives and resources with caution and make all the right decisions. He wants us to know that even if we are simple people, his instructions here in his writings to follow in the book will guide us through life and protect us in the affairs of life.

Wouldn’t it be great to have the answers to life and how things work out in order? Well, the King says that’s why he wrote this for us! I wonder how many people spend time trying to make life decisions based on this book and the understanding of this book. Knowing this book from cover to cover and having the meaning in our hearts and the wisdom to follow his advice in all these things that he is going to talk about means that our lives will be more effective and will show us how to be even richer and happier.

Wouldn’t it be great if these simple reflections that I am writing were distributed as a text to all the young people in the school and studied like a textbook? It would be great? Youth these days certainly need a good touch is wisdom in a life in a world where sinning is so easy.

There is a dual purpose for me and my co-author in writing this series, and as we write and share, the Lord teaches us as He speaks through us, and the reason I write is to open words to simplicity. they could learn more about what might be difficult to understand. One of my calls in God is to be a teacher and that is why with great love I sit down to write the best words I can.
