Everyday Wisdom | Proverbs 30:1-2
by Louis Sacran "The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal, Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man." Proverbs 30:1-2
As we read the first two verses of Proverbs 30, a natural question is raised – “Who is Agur?” Commentators have varied ideas and explanations as to this man’s identity, but the major consensus is that we don’t know who the historical Agur of this passage was. What we do know, is that Agur had a very clear awareness of the extent of his foolishness. This is an accurate description of us all, outside of the grace of God. And for a man who saw himself as lacking understanding, it is interesting to see, as this proverb progresses, just how well he understood the value of the Word of God. If this were the opening lines of a public new paper article, we would surely expect the writer to address the issues that need to be addressed in Agur’s life in order for his self-esteem to be healed and restored. However, as we continue to read this chapter, we find that Agur’s view of himself doesn’t lead him to despair, but to true wisdom found in the words of Christ. May God bless us, to see the depths of our own foolishness that we might cling to the true fountain of wisdom that is found in the word of God.
