Do you sometimes learn things the hard way? Me too! In Proverbs 6:1-19, the Lord uses negative examples to teach us positive wisdom. God speaks into three areas of our lives – how we handle money (1-5), how we discipline ourselves (6-11), and how we build community (12-19). God our Father is calling us to take new steps of faith and repentance into responsibility, opportunity, and unity, for the sake of Christ and our neighbor.
