Proverbs 3

Our next Sunday School lesson comes from Proverbs three. Here are seven introductory questions to chew:

  1. Which of wisdom’s benefits are summarized in this passage?
  2. What am I doing to hang on to mercy and truth?
  3. Where does God fit in my (conscious) life?
  4. Has God been honored by and with the essentials and the premiums in my life?
  5. Is wisdom worth so much to me that I find blessing in God’s correction?
  6. Who around me has found me pleasant of way and peaceable in disposition?
  7. Wisdom — a tree of life: How’s that to work out in my life?

“Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding” (13).

[The Scriptures say in Proverbs 3:17 -- Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace]

from Proverbs 3:17

Proverbs 2

Will I bring my choices into conformity to the wisdom contained in this chapter?

How shall I pursue wisdom this week?

Life offers so many options from which to choose.

And life here on Earth doesn’t last long enough to choose all of the options available.

What to do?!

“My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee” (1).

I get to choose whether or not I will receive and treasure God’s words.

It is totally up to me.

The choice is mine.

I choose God’s Word. I will receive it.

I accept His commandments. I will memorize them and review them, thus hiding them within me.

That choice helps me in making my other choices.

Including choosing daily to be delivered from the way of evil men and strange women. Yup. Including that.

[The Scriptures say in Proverbs 2:12,16 -- To deliver thee from the way of the evil man....from the strange woman]
