Rerouting - Introduction : 22 Jan 2015

Proverbs 1:1-7 The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel: To know wisdom and instruction, to understand words of insight, to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equity; to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the youth-- Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance, to understand a proverb and a saying, the words of the wise and their riddles. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.

 As a way of introduction, I want us to look at three overarching realities we will explore in our study of Proverbs: We have been routed for wisdom. We need to be rerouted to find it. And the ongoing rerouting necessary to follow wisdom.
