Unit 12 Session 5
LEARN GOD'S WISDOM
Proverbs 4:10-19
Key Concept:Staying focused on God's path keeps us from stumbling.
Like Ecclesiastes, Proverbs is a Bible book in the genre of wisdom literature. Many of the proverbs were written by Solomon. A proverb is simply a short saying stating general truth or advice. The Biblical proverbs teach the fear of the Lord and give advice for covenant living in everyday situations and relationships. Proverbs covers many topics and can feel random or disjointed, but it has a few major themes: God's will is practical, and following His will leads to happiness and usefulness, but living this way takes work, study, and discipline. There's no middle way or compromise when it comes to living faithfully in covenant with God.
As you read Proverbs 4:10-19:
✞ Recognize that God's words are wisdom for the right path, leading
to long life.
✞ Note that neglecting God's words leads us down a difficult and
foolish path.
