The Theopolis Institute recently posted this clip by David Field. I found it intriguing since an important aspect of the wisdom of Proverbs involves the need to stay awake.
I argue in Solomon Says (Amazon) that staying awake covers not only literal consciousness in juxtaposition to literal sleep, but paying attention to your life as opposed to “sleep walking” into disaster.
Know well the condition of your flocks,
Proverbs 27:23–27 ESV
and give attention to your herds,
for riches do not last forever;
and does a crown endure to all generations?
When the grass is gone and the new growth appears
and the vegetation of the mountains is gathered,
the lambs will provide your clothing,
and the goats the price of a field.
There will be enough goats’ milk for your food,
for the food of your household
and maintenance for your girls.
