The Fountain of Youth

Proverbs 9:9-12
Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning. "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. For through me your days will be many, and years will be added to your life. If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you; if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer."

The Fountain of Youth is a legendary spring that reputedly restores the youth of anyone who drinks of its waters. Since antiquity there have been legends of a mythical fountain of youth that would extend the life of whoever drank from it. Wisdom from God is such a fountain. It can improve the quantity and quality of your life. The Proverbs instructs us on God's design for maximum enjoyment in life. It speaks about our finances, relationships, work ethic, communication with others, pursuing good, and helping your neighbor among its themes. A daily drink from the Proverbs supplies us with what we need to thrive in this world.

Wisdom calls out, ‘all who are thirsty come and drink from my fountain”.
