FAMILY THEME: THE NEED FOR WISDOM

Proverbs 8:5 ; 12:15 ; 29:16 ; 3:21-23

Proverbs describes four kinds of people: the simple, the fool,

the evil person, and the wise person. The first three desperately

need wisdom, and the fourth is able to demonstrate the blessings

of wisdom.

1.  The Simple Need to Learn God's Ways

     (Proverbs 8:5)

     God gives us wise instruction if we simply

     ask for it.

 
2.  The Fool Needs to Be Willing to Listen 

     and Change

     (Proverbs 12:15)

     True wisdom requires us to listen to hard 

     truth.

 
3.  The Evil Person Needs to Turn From Sin

     and Follow God's Ways

     (Proverbs 29:16)

     Sin will always lead us away from God 

     and His plan for us.

4.  The Wise are Blessed as They Live Out

     God's Wisdom

     (Proverbs 3:21-23)

     True joy comes in following God's wisdom

     for our lives.
