Breathe: Scripture Meditations
Invitations of Wisdom and Folly
Proverbs 9
For the month of August, Breathe will dive and embrace the wisdom scripture that is applicable to our lives in so many ways through the book of Proverbs. According to dictionary.com a Proverb is a short popular saying, usually of unknown and ancient origin, that expresses effectively some commonplace truth or useful thought. In other words, a biblical truth of advice or instruction used to illustrate moral or spiritual lessons, known as wisdom scripture.

Meditation Scripture: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." (Proverbs 9:10)

Invitations of Wisdom and Folly

9 Wisdom has built her house;
she has set up[a] its seven pillars.
2 She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine;
she has also set her table.
3 She has sent out her servants, and she calls
from the highest point of the city,
4 “Let all who are simple come to my house!”
To those who have no sense she says,
5 “Come, eat my food
and drink the wine I have mixed.
6 Leave your simple ways and you will live;
walk in the way of insight.”

7 Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults;
whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse.
8 Do not rebuke mockers or they will hate you;
rebuke the wise and they will love you.
9 Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still;
teach the righteous and they will add to their learning....,.( refer to Bible chapter for remaining scripture vs13-18)
