Have you heard the joke that maybe Solomon dropped his dissertation on his way to have it bound? Perhaps that’s why his Proverbs can seem so disorganized…but that isn’t the case at all.

The Fear of The Lord

Solomon was the wisest man on the planet in his day and his book of wisdom is brilliantly organized. It simply takes a bit of methodology to be able to see its brilliance. In this episode, Michael teaches through the tenants of bible study methodology that help us understand the brilliance of the book of Proverbs. Once you see the literary devices employed in its structure, you’ll never unsee them and your understanding of this text will broaden tremendously. Wisdom is available to anyone who wants it. But the fear of the Lord must exist in you.
