Commentary on Proverbs 24:32

Theological / Devotional

I saw. Solomon took note of the condition of the lazy man’s farm and saw the spiritual application as well as the direct lesson for all who lack initiative and vigor. It was this ability to observe the passing scene and learn lessons from what he saw, together with the special blessing of God, that made Solomon one of the wisest men who ever lived. All who wish to be wise may gain wisdom as Solomon gained it (see 1 Kings 4:29; James 1:5; PK 31).
