A proverb is a statement of apparent truth that is based on
human experience and has endured over time. Attributed to
King Solomon but the composition of the book happened over
Centuries. Wisdom is a central character of the book along with
a woman of substance. The beauty of the book is that you can
focus on one verse or read the entire book as a literary whole.

Let us confess our sins to God.
God of all mercy, we confess that you have sinned against you,
opposing your will in our lives. We have denied your goodness in
each other, in ourselves, and in the world you have created. We repent
of the evil that enslaves us, the evil we have done, and the evil
done on our behalf. Forgive, restore, and strengthen us through
Our Savior Jesus Christ, that we may abide in your love and serve
only your will.

Power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen
