Bible Chapter: Proverbs 1 & 2

Because the Bible is practical, here are some statements to get you thinking.

1.  Write one or two key thoughts that come from today’s reading.
    Proverbs is an awesome book filled with practicality that will bring people closer to God and make life better.  It shares important wisdom to make life what God intended it to be.  The enemy is a deceiver and convinces people that God’s ways are bad and make life boring.  The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.  Do you want life to be the best it can be?  Let the Lord’s wisdom and instruction fill your life.  Actually apply it.  It is a fool who despises wisdom and instruction.  So, listen to your parents.  It is a lie from the enemy that causes many young people to think that their parents are stupid and out of touch with life.  Seek wisdom and discernment, for they are more valuable than silver and gold.  God’s ways will deliver you from the ways of evil and help you walk in the ways of righteousness.  Get far away from those who walk in evil and even rejoice in doing evil things.  Since God created life, He knows what is best.

2.  What can I apply in my life from the reading?
    Listen and learn.  Pay attention to those who know God and apply eternal truths to your life.  Study the Bible.  Then you can walk in the way of goodness and righteousness.  Life is better when you do things God’s ways.  Study and learn all the great wisdom of this book to make life better.

3.  How can I help someone?
    This is a book filled with much wisdom.  Work hard to grasp it and apply it in daily life.
