Finding a Moral Compass

It seems like everyone in college, at some point or another, thinks he can change the world. Do you remember those days? Do you remember when the world began making sense to you in a whole new way and you became an idealist? You really believed you could change the world. Kids, get ready because that feeling will happen sooner or later. It’s a great place to be as your ideals sweep you up in some great cause bigger than yourself. But then, reality sets in and your idealism takes a major thumping. Eventually, you get to the point where you just want to make it through the day. But what if there was a way to recapture some of that idealism? What if there was a way to regain that sense that you really can change the world? Wisdom can do that. With wisdom you really can be a part of changing the world. It may not be as fast in and in control as you might like but wisdom, without a doubt, is contagious. It’s meant to go from father to son to grandson to great grandson. Not only is wisdom contagious, but it real wisdom puts you back in touch with that cause greater than yourself. Only that thing greater than yourself is not a cause. It’s a person. Real wisdom comes from God and he reveals it to us! That’s amazing, don’t you think? Well, how does he do it? Proverbs 4 helps us find a moral compass, a way of navigating through life that does more than just help us get by. It leads us along a path to life and invites the world to go with us. Let’s look at this text under the following points: Source of Wisdom, Seduction of Youth, and Springs of Life.
