Fruit will be produced and her own works will be proven worthwhile. This is the last verse in Proverbs. And while it speaks specifically of the life of the virtuous woman, it also indirectly relates every word in this book of wisdom. Fruit will be produced, either in wisdom or in foolishness. Actions have necessary consequences. As we conclude our comments on this book, I cannot think of a more appropriate closing thought. God has given each of us one life to live. He has not been stingy in disclosing His will. In this one book, He has been thorough, repetitive, and clear in dispensing His wisdom. He has provided vivid illustrations of the result of decisions, both tragic and joyful. And so as we end this study, we come face to face with this question: Do I believe God? The fruit produced in our lives will answer this question. Thank you for reading along with us as we have made our way verse by verse through this book. We began this venture three and a half years ago with the goal of aiding fathers in their family devotions. Whether that intent was accomplished is uncertain; what is certain is that it has been a blessing for us to write as we have marveled again and again at the practical, simple, yet profound wisdom of God. Everyday Wisdom will be taking a hiatus for about a month as we plan a new project with another book of the Bible. Our prayer for you is that God’s word would be a constant and ruling influence in your life, that Christ would dwell in your hearts by faith, and that you would be rooted and grounded in His great love.
