Proverbs: Life in the Real World

Here the author of Proverbs illustrates two states of mind that are equally dangerous. In the first case, someone has so indulged their appetite, that even good things appear loathsome. And the second, one whose appetite has become so overwhelming that they lack discernment, and satisfy their hunger at all costs, even calling bitter things sweet. In this dichotomy we see the need for wisdom. We long for a way to have our hunger and thirst satisfied ultimately and fully. But we keep getting hungry and thirsty again. We need wisdom. So that's our big idea: eat and drink with wisdom. Come learn from Proverbs how to eat and drink wisely, and ultimately how eating and drinking are rich gifts of God that teach us about him and the world around us.
