TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - APRIL 1, 2020

Walk the Aisle

Today is April 1, 2020

Welcome to your mid-week!

When it comes to doing the same wisdom over and over again, especially when it comes to preventative wisdom, there is a danger to forget the importance of doing it. We might take it for granted. We may not see the benefits of it. We may view it as too much of an inconvenience. 

Take, for example, something as simple as social distancing and washing our hands. This pandemic has suddenly brought into focus the wisdom in doing those things. The challenge is, as these weeks stretch on to months, can we still commit to it every day?

That's why Solomon ends the book of Proverbs the way he does.

The book of Proverbs ends with an 'Epilogue of the Wife of Noble Character' and, more then just saying we need to marry wisely, I believe Solomon is telling his son to commit to wisdom; to commit to wisdom as much as you would a marriage.

Back in chapters 8 and 9 Solomon personifies wisdom as a woman, challenging us to love her. I believe, by ending the book with this epilogue, Solomon is challenging us to take love to its final conclusion. When it comes to wisdom, we need to commit to it that seriously.

Home schooling. Cabin fever. Quarantine 15. There are a lot of inconveniences that we are experiencing. But, ultimately, we know the importance of doing what we are doing because, in the end of the day, it saves lives. That is how important that wisdom is. 

How much more so then, when we think about our eternity, is committing to the wisdom of the Lord?

God's blessing and protection on you this week and I look forward to worshiping with you online this Sunday.
