Unique circumstances in Paul’s society are contained here; still you will find what is relevant to our own day. There are similarities with the plight of widows and single parent mothers today.

Look for the Godly principles present that are universal. These are the touchstones to use when it comes to consider what to do for others and to maintain yourself in correct thinking and acting. Idleness erodes the boundaries between our lives and those of others, tempting us to mind what is not our business.

As the weeks of summer pass before your life and you are on vacation, find activities that truly renew your spirit. Paul is on the move. Take him with you in your travels. Respond wholeheartedly to his exhortations that close the letter.

 Imagine walking along a path when suddenly a dear friend whom you have not seen in ages comes toward you. As soon as you recognize who it is, you stop in your tracks for a moment, then rush toward the person and embrace in affection.

Proverbs are similar to these encounters. Deep in your spirit, there is already a longing for close union with God. Perhaps the concerns of your world have deprived you for a long time from being with the Lord, for whom you were created—the ultimate friend of your soul. As you walk through your day, these twenty-seven expressions from your friend, the Holy Spirit, greet you along the way. Their truths bring you to a full stop. Spend a few minutes embracing these words from the Lord. Then continue to walk with the Lord more closely, more deeply, for the rest of your day.
