The Book of Proverbs has many gems and insights into daily living. Solomon wrote many of them while he was walking with the Lord and the wisdom he gives crosses all generational boundaries and is inclusive of ages and genders.

Paul wanted these believers to experience the peace of God on a daily basis in their lives. He wanted God to enable them through the power of the Holy Spirit; he wanted to to know the truth and to stand upon it; he wants them to let the grace of God permeate everything that do in life.

Paul writes concerning an attitude problem that was developing in the church and threaten to destroy its testimony. There were people who had become confused regarding the Lord's Return and had quit work and were wanting other believers to support them. Paul says no work no eat and gives them some lessons in Tough Love.

Paul encourages these believers to keep on doing what they were doing and deepen their understanding of God's love and to patiently endure through all their circumstances and situations.
