The past of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. Proverbs 4:18
Solomon, the second son of King David and Bathsheba, is the primary author of the book of Proverbs. He was an intellectual, business man, botanist, zoologist, politician, poet and moral preacher. Kings came from the ends of the earth to hear him and “pick his brain.’ But for all his fame and fortune, Solomon held the pursuit of wisdom in the absolute highest esteem. He wrote his writing is a practical guide to the ethical standards that God designed and set throughout the entire Biblical story.
Proverbs chapter 4 speaks to the value of seeking wisdom, but verse 18 likens righteous wisdom to the rising sun of each new day. It continues to grow brighter and brighter until it eradicates all darkness, a darkness that causes failure and defeat.
The quest for wisdom makes very logical sense, and keeps you walking in the Sonshine.
Have a Great Weekend Eve,
