Nathan:

My son, do not forget my law, But let your heart keep my commands;

For length of days and long life And peace they will add to you.

Solomon. Proverbs 3:1 & 2. Hi, it’s Nathan, and this is day 21 of ANOTHER 30 Days of Wisdom. The wise king again reminds his reader that cherishing his teaching will add peace and a long life. In the digital periodical, Simplify Magazine, Joshua Becker observes: “The greatest gift you can ever give yourself is to live a life aligned with your values. When you spend your money, time, and energy on the things that bring you happiness today and joy tomorrow, you experience peace, confidence, and satisfaction in the life you have chosen to live.” And in the pages of the Proverbs, Solomon unfurls the secrets to the values that give the richest meaning to life. Living aligned with these brings not simply long life—but a peace-filled life. And that is priceless. The prosperity or unraveling of a person, a family, an organization or a nation is directly tied to how deeply the individual or group embraces true wisdom. One thing that’s certain: the outcomes of life are never guess work. They are as predictable as the movement of stars and planets. Never has a person who lived selflessly lain on their deathbed, wishing they’d lived selfishly. Never has a good friend looked back, wishing they’d thrown it all away.
