Reading for January 16th

Read Proverbs 4.1-9. In 4.1-9: The teacher's life as an example of wisdom. The teacher draws a parallel between his teaching his sons now and his father's teaching him as a youth. The authority of the teacher comes from obedience he showed to his father. The teacher now is a model of the blessings that come with reverence and obedience. In verses 4-9: Get wisdom: In vv. 4-6, the disciple is to take in the teacher's words and get wisdom. In vv. 6, 8-9 wisdom herself becomes active, guarding and honoring the disicple.
