Howdy Friends! Did You Know: As Christians, we are always growing and trying to please God by the way we conduct ourselves. The book of Proverbs is instrumental in teaching Christians how to conduct themselves not only as Christians but also in everyday living.
Proverbs God’s Guide For Life:
The book is intended to help Christians avoid many of the pitfalls that await them if they will heed the instruction listed in this collection of Proverbs. Proverbs is different from any other book of the Bible because it does instruct man in his living.
Proverbs 1:7 states, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.” Proverbs 22:6 tells you how to raise children. “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
Proverbs Teaches Wisdom:
Through Proverbs, wisdom is highlighted as the principal thing. Proverbs 4:7: “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; and with all they getting get understanding. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.”
Proverbs teaches you how to prosper. “Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the first fruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine” (Proverbs 3:9-10).
According to Proverbs, man should seek guidance from the Lord. “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not to thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and he shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Proverbs Gives Confidence:
Proverbs gives us confidence. “Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. For the Lord shall be thy confidence and shall keep they foot from being taken” (Proverbs 3:25-26).
The book of Proverbs highlights things that the Lord hates: a proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, a false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren (Proverbs 6:16-19).
Something For Everyone:
There is clearly something in Proverbs for everyone. Each time you study the book of Proverbs, you are bound to pick up something additional or see from a different perspective. It provides wisdom for many areas of our lives. ~ Gitty Up, Dutch.
