Proverbs 10:2: “Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value, but righteousness delivers from death.” The very wise King Solomon explains how true, eternal purpose is found in righteousness and not in earthly treasures. Remember when Instagram changed their policies and deleted a bunch of inactive and bot accounts? Celebrities and influencers lost millions of followers over night and…

Proverbs 9:10: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” Solomon talks a lot about the “fear of the Lord” throughout the book of Proverbs.
