Nations have advisers, people that get paid to give advice. Advisers have the job of giving their opinions to help make tough decisions easier; to point out things that were maybe missed.
The book of Proverbs was written by King Solomon and other wise men. The point is to give advice to you, the reader.
Proverbs 2:1-11 starts off by saying "my son, if you accept my words..." Notice how the writer says "my son" when starting. The writer is not literally writing to their children, but giving advice like a father would give his son or daughter advice. A parent that loves his children will have their best interest in mind, and as such they will give them advice that will help them.
Once again, the goal of proverbs is to make us wise; to open our eyes to the things around us so that we can make good decisions that will make our lives better. A truly wise person will listen to advice from people who care about them, and make their own decision afterward.
- Who are you getting your advice from? Friends? Family? The Bible?
- Who in your life do you trust the most to give you good advice?
