Proverbs 1
Solomon writes a metaphorical warning from the perspective of "Wisdom".
"INSIGHT to be free to sail the seven seas, you must make yourself a slave to the compass. Every freedom has a corresponding slavery. We can be free from the toothbrush and a slave to cavities or a slave to the toothbrush and free from cavities. For everything we want, we must give up something else. Wisdom calls us to slavery. If we become a slave to wisdom, we must heed the Word of God and shun sin.
If we neglect these, distress and anguish will come. We will experience the natural consequences of our actions. There is no escape from this cause-and-effect law.
Rededicate yourself to becoming a "wise" person. Wisdom begins with "fearing" (respecting) the Lord. It is to His glory and also to our best interest. We live daily with choices, perhaps if we truly desire to become wise we first must step out of the way of ourselves and view life through the eyes of our Savior!
