The wisdom of the Proverbs is that which God himself teaches. Very often there are two paths that a Christian faces. One is the path of fools which leads to death. The other is the path of righteousness which leads to life. But far too often, the path of fools is more enticing since it promises great wealth with little effort. While all fail in this discernment, Jesus Christ offers redemption. If Jesus himself grew in wisdom and stature, so can we who are bought by his blood.
