God is Wise June 29

Think About It … What’s the wisest advice you’ve either embraced or ignored? Now we so often “Google it” for advice – Today we are interested in wisdom, not just advice or information – God promises to give wisdom when we humbly seek it

Listen for conditions to receive wisdom. Proverbs 2:1-6 (NIV) My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, [2] turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, [3] and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, [4] and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure,

Listen for conditions to receive wisdom. [5] then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. [6] For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

The Source of Wisdom What did Solomon encourage us to do? If the student followed these actions, what would be the results? What are the relationships between knowledge, understanding, and wisdom? How do we recognize what is true wisdom? Where in our culture do people look for wisdom?

The Source of Wisdom Why is it hard in today’s world to pursue and accept God’s wisdom? According to verse 6 what happens to the person who finds and appropriates God’s wisdom? Why is God the true source of wisdom? What advantages are in store for the upright, the one who receives God’s wisdom?

Listen for a well-known promise. Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV) Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; [6] in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

Trust God for Guidance What were the verbs in the passage that instruct us what to do? What do you think it means to trust the Lord “with all your heart”? What are some problems involved when you rely or lean on your own understanding? What are some observable behaviors that demonstrate we are trusting in the Lord?

Trust God for Guidance What blessing or benefit comes to the one who trusts in the Lord? What do you think the author means with the phrase, "make your paths straight"? What are some things that hinder us from acknowledging God as the authority in our lives? How can we overcome such attitudes?

Listen for another condition and result. Proverbs 3:7-8 (NIV) Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. [8] This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.

Fear the Lord Only Again, with what verbs does the author exhort us? What do you think it means to be wise in one’s “own eyes”? What does it mean to “fear the Lord”? Why should those who fear the Lord also want to separate themselves from (shun) evil?

Fear the Lord Only What choices and actions must we pursue to “shun” or turn away from evil? Why is “turning away” from evil both a one- time thing and a daily priority? What is the promise to us if we follow these instructions?

Application Pray – Humbly ask God for wisdom each morning for daily activities – Trust Him to Guide you also in major life decisions – Ask Him to guide you through His Spirit, His Word, and His people

Application Study – If you don’t have a consistent plan to study the Bible, adopt a daily plan to read and study Scripture – Ask God for wisdom as you study, think, and journal about what you have read

Application Mentor – Mature Christians can be a wonderful source of wisdom to younger believers – Consider how this might happen in your church – Meet with pastoral staff to discuss needs and opportunities available
