The Proverbs and Daily Life

By Dr. Bonar

THE study of the prophetic Word must not supersede that of the Proverbs, nor must we search the latter merely to discover the traces of “higher doctrines” which may be found there. We must not overlook the homely and the little and the common. We must stoop to the petty moralities and courtesies and honesties of tamer life, not neglecting those parts of the Scriptures which treat of these, so vapid and obsolete, but bringing them to bear upon each step of our daily walk, and delighting in them as the wisdom of God only wise.—Dr. Bonar.
