As a new semester begins, the book of Proverbs speaks like “letters from home,” a father’s counsel to a son. We’re invited to choose wisdom in a world of real dangers. Wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord, drawing us to the Father’s heart through Jesus, the true Son.Questions for reflection & discussion:Who has spoken fatherly or motherly wisdom into your life, a mentor, pastor, friend, or parent?

What does this look like, and how does taking God seriously enable you to live with passion and purpose?Proverbs 1:9 speaks of a garland and a chain as inner anchors.
