What did the cross actually achieve? It stripped the authorities of their powers and broke the chains of things that hold us.
The book of Proverbs ends with the description of an amazing role model who shows us what Godly wisdom looks like, lived out in every area of life.
The book of Proverbs contains lots about humility. In fact, it’s where wisdom begins; with a realisation that you know nothing in comparison to the creator.
Life is full of choices. Sometimes two paths can look the same but one way leads to life and the other to death. Wisdom helps us to choose the right one.

Whatever difficulties we face, whatever mess we are in, however broken the world is right now, this is not the end of the story.
Even when we are facing the consequences of our own poor judgement, we can be sure that God is ready to lift up our heads to face the day.
