Proverbs 9

1. 👀 What stood out to you?

Quite a bit! But a couple big ones:

Verses 1-6 Sounds prophetic of Jesus Christ, especially verses 5-6 "Come, eat of my bread,

and drink of the wine which I have mingled. Forsake the foolish, and live;"

Verse 10 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom:" this phrase & similar appear several times in the Bible; whenever something is repeated in the Bible, it means it's VERY important!

2. 💡 Did you learn anything new? (If yes, what?)

Searching for the phrase in verse 10 I came across Job 28 and it feels like another "rendition" (there's probably a better word that I can't think of) of Proverbs 8 and Psalm 19. Just go read it after Prov. 8 & Psalm 9.

3. 🎯 How can you apply this to your life?

Verses 7-9: don't waste your time & energy with fools. The more wisdom you have, the faster you'll be able to discern a fool from a wise man - and further, DON'T be the fool, but humble yourself and take rebuke so you can grow in wisdom!

And in regards to recognizing a fool, verse 13 " a foolish woman is calmorous"; that seems pretty obvious, but I have seen videos of some loud mouth woman making a fuss over something stupid and people in the comments taking her side... I pray I'm never that stupid.
