Proverbs 17:1-3 were standout verses for me today. The first felt like Solomon was writing from a place of regret. It reminded me of the verse, a few chapters ago that talked about the amount of food that was consumed daily at his house. Sounded like daily feasting but with a lot of drama. Lil he may have wished all the wealth away at a point. The second verse reminded me about the parable of the wedding guest that Jesus told. God will open the doors for prudent servants to rule if the His chosen people decide to be disgraceful. He’s not a respecter of persons. The third verse emphasizes the good that comes with being tested. God uses it to bring out the best in us, just like the gold and silver in context. It’s why we’re told to count it all joy when we go through trials and temptations.
