Proverbs Study Week Four Days 3 and 4

Send me an email if you want to continue to add a children's devotion. angieduke@hotmail.com. I wasn't sure how many of you reading this needed a kids devotion. The ice is melted. Thank God. I'm glad we were all able to get back to work and school safely. Don't forget about Super Sunday this Sunday at 3pm. Come early to setup, and stay after service for the Super Bowl Party. It is going to be tons of fun.

Day 3 of Week 4
We were suppose to wrap up chapter 8, studying 22-36.We are suppose to compare the relationship between The Lord and Wisdom. As you have seen, true wisdom comes from the lord. The world's wisdom can never compare to the Lords wisdom. Go ahead and write down what you learn from these verses.

Basically the Lord had wisdom from the beginnign of time. In everything he did, he had wisdom.
A quote from Matthew Henry
. An exhortation to hear and obey the voice of Wisdom, to attend and comply with the good instructions that the word of God gives us, and in them to discern the voice of Christ, as the sheep know the shepherd's voice.

We are to hear God's instruction, listen to him, like a kid learning from his parents we are to learn from God. We are not to neglect him. Stop and ask yourself, how am I neglecting God right now? Do I read my bible daily, do I pray, am I spending time with him, am I reaching out to others, am I taking time to teach my children the word of God, am I walking the walk daily? None of us are giving 100% to God. There is always more that we can do, more we need to learn, more people who need us to pray for them and be the light of Christ in their lives.


Day 4 of week 4
Read Proverbs 9 marking wisdom and understanding, and the woman of folly. Watch for pronouns refering to these characters.

Pro 9:1 Wisdom has built her house; she has hewn her seven pillars.
Pro 9:2 She has slaughtered her beasts; she has mixed her wine; she has also set her table.
Pro 9:3 She has sent out her young women to call from the highest places in the town,
Pro 9:4 "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!" To him who lacks sense she says,
Pro 9:5 "Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed.
Pro 9:6 Leave your simple ways, and live, and walk in the way of insight."
Pro 9:7 Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse, and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury.
Pro 9:8 Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you.
Pro 9:9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
Pro 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight. (KJV it says the knowledge of holy is understanding.)
Pro 9:11 For by me your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life.
Pro 9:12 If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; if you scoff, you alone will bear it.
Pro 9:13 The woman Folly is loud; she is seductive and knows nothing.
Pro 9:14 She sits at the door of her house; she takes a seat on the highest places of the town,
Pro 9:15 calling to those who pass by, who are going straight on their way,
Pro 9:16 "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!" And to him who lacks sense she says,
Pro 9:17 "Stolen water is sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant."
Pro 9:18 But he does not know that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.

That's all we need to do today. Read and mark our bibles. Tommorrow we will study 1-6 and 13-18. Read this a couple of times. Get a good understanding of the verses before we do our study.
