Proverbs – A + B does not always equal C
In reading Proverbs, I don’t see it as a do “X” to obtain “Y” for that would signify one’s ability to control or manipulate God. Yet, I see Proverbs as a guide for righteous living. Proverbs provides a steady compass which to guide one’s journey. Does every child that has been given righteous instruction grow up and follow the path? No, but many do return back to the foundation of God that was instilled in them as a child. Proverbs, filled with wisdom and understanding, shapes the mold of modern day common sense and thereby would benefit all to take notice. For I must admit, common sense does not appear to be that common. So although A + B = C may not always be the case, if one does A and B the possiblity of C occuring is far greater than never doing A and B from the start.
