The book of Proverbs is intensely practical. We are all on a path. We are all on a journey. We are all heading somewhere. The question is, “What path are we on?” Proverbs reveals that our chosen path is a matter of life and death – and God wants life for us. He is a good God who cares deeply, not only about our future, but about how we live and navigate the tumultuous waters of life today. In our day of Twitter-sized updates, CNN sound-bites and ever-shifting popular opinion we need more than advise; we need wisdom from God.
Proverbs are not ancient fortune cookies that merely promote changes of behavior, quick fixes or boosts to our morale. Rather, the book of Proverbs delivers living wisdom, from a living God into the nitty gritty of our daily lives. In Proverbs, God meets us on the street and delivers great aid in the skill of living. Throughout our study we’ll look at a variety of topics, including: wisdom, foolishness, sexuality, work, laziness, marriage, parenting, wealth, planning, justice, friendship, words and more. Ultimately, Proverbs is a book about Jesus in whom are hidden “all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” (Col 2:3) That makes it a book of good news to sinners and fools – like us – in need of living wisdom today.
