We've nearly read the book of Proverbs twice through, already. Scripture says of Solomon, "Before him there was none greater, neither would there be after him." "And God gave Solomon wisdom and exceedingly great understanding, and largeness of heart like the sand on the seashore. Thus Solomon's wisdom exceeded the wisdom of all the men of the East and all the wisdom of Egypt. For he was wiser than all men . . . and his fame was in all the surrounding nations." (1 Kings 4:29 - 31 NKJV).

Tim LaHaye comments, "I believe the book of Proverbs contains the basic principles that God wants you to obey in order to be happy and productive. He even promises that keeping them will lengthen your life (Proverbs 9:10,11).
