Who could ever forget that Forest Gump soundbite "stupid is as stupid does?" We smile sheepishly as that timeless quote bites us where it hurts... in the back seat of everyday real life. Today, we speak of smart homes, smart cars, and smart start, but the truth is, most of that is marketing mish mash. We live life any way but smart. All in all, we live stupid lives in a stupid world. Though there are countless books written on every imaginable topic, there are still no practical DIY instructions for everyday life... raising kids, dating, marriage, friendship, money matters, and work. No "Life For Dummies" book. Or is there?
King Solomon of Israel, the wisest man in the world, wrote the book of Proverbs as a guidebook for practical living. What a concept! He targeted young men and women (short on experience with high demand for answers), but he makes it clear the timeless principles he sets forth apply to all generations.
Each subject he addresses hits us where it helps. What would you give to make the best choices concerning your spouse, your job, your best friend? Even in this technological age, relationships with God and man still work the same today as always. There is no reason to make decisions with a lottery ticket mentality any longer. Read Proverbs 1-31, follow its instructions, and you will be well on your way toward living a jackpot life. The life of a winner. A wise life.
