Physics is defined as: a science that deals with matter and energy and their interactions... the processes and phenomena of a particular system". Applying this concept to matters of the soul, the wisdom literature of Proverbs reads like a textbook on the processes & phenomena of morality. In Proverbs 21, Solomon reveals spiritual & ethical cause and effect relationships of life. A key verse for this chapter might be verse 21 Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life, righteousness, and honor." Here Solomon expounds the relationship between the direction and the destiny of our lives in matters of equal and greater importance than the so-called STEM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) which are growing fields of study these days promising great progress. But are we giving the Proverbs the attention it deserves? For most, the return on investment in godliness is less compelling than the short-term capital gains of temporal success. Solomon rebukes the foolishness of disordered moral priorities even as he reveals the infinitely greater value of righteousness. Here we have practical instruction on how to lay up for ourselves treasure in heaven.
