INSTRUCTION TO GOD'S SONS

THE exhortation in the Proverbs is God speaking. Whatever approximate sonship and fatherhood there may be in the Proverbs, their ultimate origin is God, and their aim the instruction of His sons. And Proverbs, with other parts of the "Living Oracles", must not be limited in its application to Solomon's day. "Ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you", says Paul; it is the Father's word to you, His sons. How persuasive is God in His counsels; how endearing in His address. To each of His children He says, "My son".
