We will be continuing our teaching series on Proverbs: Wisdom for the Whole of Life.  This week we’ll be focusing on making wise choices and looking specifically at Proverbs 9:1-18. Proverbs 9 provides a crossroads for the reader. contrasting two banquets, one hosted by “Lady Wisdom” and the other hosted by “Lady Folly.” While the two banquets share many similarities, there is a major difference between them: Lady Wisdom’s banquet is a source of life, but Lady Folly’s banquet is a source of death. Solomon calls us to choose the life of wisdom, reminding us that such a decision must be guided by the fear of the Lord; reverential awe of God. Which path will you choose?
