Hey You- Yes, YOU!
19
I am teaching you today—yes, you—
so you will trust in the Lord.
20
I have written thirty sayings for you,
filled with advice and knowledge.
21
In this way, you may know the truth
and take an accurate report to those who sent you.
Verses 19-21
Wise lessons are valuable. And they are important. We need to study these lessons. We should learn them. These lessons teach us how we should live. And they will teach us how to answer other people’s questions.
These verses teach us to trust in God and understand the truth so we can give good answers when people ask. To me, now..It feels like a shift from one type of proverb to another.
There are 30 wise lessons in Proverbs 22:17 to Proverbs 24:22. The number ‘30’ was important to Solomon. It meant that there were many lessons. And they were great lessons. Other ancient books from different nations also contain 30 wise lessons. The people from these nations believed that their own books contained great lessons too. But the Bible is a special book. God provided the Bible to teach us how we should live. He helped the authors of the Bible to write the right things. And God guides us by the Bible today.
Accurate Report? A report of hope..
Because I have hope within me, and I need to be ready to explain it when someone asks. I shouldn’t just refer them to my pastor, an expert, or the internet. I should seek wisdom so I can personally give a good answer. Since I’ve made the effort to be ready, I’ve been surprised at how many people have asked me about my hope.
Let me ask you: Do you have a hope worth sharing? And are you ready to explain that hope when someone asks?
