Proverbs 8:34 Blessed is the man that hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. I. THE WAY TO HAPPINESS IS TO HEARKEN DILIGENTLY TO WISDOM'S WORDS. 1. We cannot of ourselves find out the way to true happiness. 2. No man can show it to us. II. WE MUST NOT ONLY HEAR, BUT WATCH FOR WISDOM. Omit no occasion of learning, and make the best possible use of every occasion. III. WE MUST NOT ONLY WATCH FOR A WHILE, WE MUST WAIT LONG, IF WE WOULD GET WISDOM. Give no place to idleness and slothfulness, lest ye become unteachable, and incapable of wisdom. (Francis Taylor, B. D.)
