Pursuing Wisdom - ProverbsSample

The book of Proverbs contains many brief but wise statements about how to live a godly life. Although the book was written in ancient Israel, its messages remain applicable today. The wisdom contained within the book of Proverbs covers nearly every aspect of life. The proverbs focus as much on the quirks of human nature as they do on the basic behaviour of a righteous person and man’s proper relationship with God. Because the proverbs address such varied topics, a verse in Proverbs often has no connection to the verses before or after it. However, we can find within Proverbs many passages that are simple, humorous, profound, and beautiful. Why not grab a few friends or your Life Group and read this together?
