Read Proverbs 1:10  The book of Proverbs was written by Solomon, who was David’s son.  When Solomon first became king, God asked him what he wanted God to give him.  Solomon did not ask God for victory in wars; he did not ask for wealth; he did not ask to be famous.  Solomon wisely asked for God to give him wisdom so that he could rule over his country wisely.  Since Solomon asked for something so unselfish, God said that He would give him not only the wisdom that he had asked for, but also wealth, power and fame.  Solomon wrote the book of Proverbs to give advice to his sons.  I am glad that we can read Solomon’s words of wisdom too – words that Solomon actually got from God Himself.  Here in verse 10 Solomon tells his son that sinners are going to try to get him to do wicked things.  But he says that when sinners try to get you to do evil things, just don’t do it.  When someone tries to get you to do the wrong thing just say NO!  Don’t do it!
