That is all lovely and good. Nearly at the end of the book, in Proverbs 29:3, I gasped in amazement. “Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his **father**.” I must have been thinking at that time about how God is our Father, because suddenly my mind finished the sentence differently: “Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his **father** *in heaven*.” How fun to reread the scriptures about fathers, thinking of God the Father, too. How beautiful to think that when we act wisely, God rejoices. *Father God, thank you for your great love for your children. May we love wisdom and walk with you. May we listen to your instruction. We cry out for wisdom, Lord! Bless us with wisdom today.* May you stand perfect and complete in all the will of God, Amy Joy --- You are invited!
