When we read or hear wise sayings, we are hearing only “reminders” of what our ancestors knew. We need to be reminded for the same reason our ancestors did: because we know but do not practice. This is an unpleasant truth about common sense: it is not very common. We have reached the point where restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent people.

The app of Proverbs is a app of reminders. It is the voice of a wise, experienced parent, passing on to a willful child some basic truths that every generation past knew. This is one reason the app appeals to people of all ages. There is no “higher thought” in Proverbs, nothing vague or mystical. It is all about the day-to-dayness of life, about the small acts (and sometimes great acts) that turn into habits, good or bad. Those habits turn into what we call character. You might call Proverbs the app of Character.

Some people say there is no theology in Proverbs. That is not so. God is there in the book, God the all-knowing, loving, merciful Father who wants his children to do right, for their own benefit, and for the benefit of the world at large. But theology is not the app’s main concern. The emphasis is on us, human beings, inclined to be inconsiderate, vain, lacking in self-control, overly fond of the sound of our own voices. Don’t pout. Don’t follow the crowd in doing foolish, wicked things. The Book of Proverbs exists because we did not pay enough attention to our parents, or to our Father. It is a app of authority, and what is authority but a means of using the knowledge of some for the benefit of others?

The app you are holding is intended to give you an intimate look at the app of Proverbs - specifically, one hundred and one individual proverbs. When I say “intimate,” I mean “up close and personal,” for these wisdom-derived, God-given, authoritative words are never about someone else. They are about you, and for you, and for your good.
