Proverbs 21:5-16
We are reading about the wisdom that God gave to Solomon. That’s remarkable. God gave him this gift. Solomon’s application of this wisdom led to him becoming the most powerful king. We should pay attention to this wisdom. It’s spelled out. How we choose to live will bring results: good or bad. God is aware of how we are living. We should respond with the attributes and decisions that are lifted up as admirable, in this passage. It would include good planning, hard work, honesty, common sense, and compassionate help for those who are poor.
