Proverbs - Wisdom for LifeSample

Say you’re hiking through a dangerous mountain range with steep cliffs and deep valleys. If you had access to a guide who had been there before and knew the way, you would want to follow that guide! They would have wisdom about which way to go and what to do when you face trouble, and they would know how to reach the best lookouts to see a beautiful view. God’s Word gives us wisdom for life. The book of Proverbs was penned by the wise King Solomon, who has gone before us on life's journey.

The start of Proverbs 1 sums up the importance of the Proverbs. As you read the verses, think about how this wisdom can be applied to your own life. Are there areas where you need to learn self-control? Do you know how to live a life of honesty, doing what is right?

As you read the words in this book, take a moment to ask God for wisdom. Ask God for wisdom on your journey that will help you stay on the right path and see the best views along the way.
