Be Blessed.

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity (Love), I am become as a sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vauneth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seekth not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth.

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is (Love) charity.  

nandun,

The book of proverbs is one of the "wisdom books" of the Old Testament, containing instructions on many of the practical matters of daily life.

In it's 31 chapters, Proverbs discusses many practical matters to help the believer live in harmony with God as well as his fellowman.

Subjects covered in this wise and realistic book include how to choose the right kind of friends, the perils of adultery, the value of hard work, dealing justly with others in business, the dangers of strong drink, treating the poor with compassion, the values of strong family ties, the folly of pride and anger, and the characteristics of genuine friendship.

The author introduces himself as a teacher, one of the Wise Men of Israel, who has written this book as a manual of instruction on the ways of wisdom. His declaration " The fear of the lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. (proverbs 1:7)

The name of Solomon as author is associated with the book of Proverbs from the very beginning. Verse 1 of chapter 1 states: " The proverbs of Solomon the son of David." We also know that Solomon was noted throughout the ancient world for his superior wisdom (1 Kings 4:29-34).

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That's why they call it the 'present.'

Proverbs speaks of the coming of the Redeemer. It is to provide comfort to those waiting, letting them know they are not alone and that God is with them. It also let people know how to recognize the Redeemer when He did come.
