Whomsoever YOU--readers and ebook hearers of these words may be: In this volume Grandma cautioned me: "Baby, do not tell them everything at once; remember how I waited on you to read Proverbs for yourself. It was needful and necessary for you to see the words through the gateway of your own eyes or hear them in the ear-gates of your own ears." Grandma waited for MrJames to study Book of Proverbs to get his own personal insights first; telling MrJames: "you must need to do this for readers and hearers also." Godly wisdom must need be searched for; by readers & hearers of these words; like hidden treasure (Prov 2:1-4): and from Sovereign--Most High God-Heavenly Father--Supreme Creator, Master Designer of ALL that exists; wisdom is given (Prov 2:6). When student is ready, Teacher appears! Seeking Godly wisdom and understanding since 12 yrs old; I immersed myself in study of the Word of God and Proverbs. Grandma was influential as adult role model in my life; born in 1902; offspring of Black Creek Indians of Central Alabama and focused on being the best person she could be. Art of living teachings in Proverbs, prioritize respect for God; understands, recognizes, and comprehends wisdom, discretion, prudence, humility, commitment, devotion, and integrity. "Art of Living" is to continue moving forward in quest of living to become what you were created to become; no matter what life may throw in your path. "Art of living" views Proverbs as a life perspective built on "absolute truths" and a basic belief in existence of an Eternal Creator-Most High God, Heavenly Father, Supreme Creator, a Master Designer of all that exists. Life is lived forward one day at a time; but life is understood backwards as we pause to ponder, review & reflect on past experiences.
