Proverbs 3 - 5

In this passage, Solomon gives us insight into his childhood home.  Chapter 4 passes along the instruction he received from his father (King David).  David's passion for his son was that he gain understanding and wisdom.  Above anthing else, David wanted his son to possess insight into matters.  Knowing that his son would succeed him on the nation's throne, it was imperative that Solomon learn to approach every situation with a singular quest for truth and propriety.  What a great lesson to learn and pass along to our own children.
