Approaches to Living Life (1 of 5)
Series: Proverbs - Roadmap for Living
Frank Damazio
Introduction: Life is to be lived according to the design and wisdom that God has set forth in His word. Proverbs is God's book to us that sets forth how to live life successfully as one walks the path of wisdom and rejects the way of folly, foolishness, and evil. Proverbs depicts the imagery of a person at a crossroads with one path leading to life and the other path leading to a life of trouble, shame, disappointment, bondage, and ultimately life destruction. At the crossroads, Lady Wisdom stands and calls out inviting people to follow the roadmap of wisdom. Let your ears be attentive and your heart open to the voice of wisdom that begs you to follow the roadmap, stay on the right path, and read the signs carefully.
