Day 4

The Commands of God

from the reading plan


Proverbs 3:1-2, Proverbs 6:20-22, Proverbs 7:1-2, Proverbs 29:18


The book of Proverbs is a guide for pursuing godly wisdom in our daily lives. In this four-week study, we will read a selection of topical proverbs covering different aspects of wisdom, from how to interact with our friends, families, and neighbors, to fearing God and keeping His commands. No matter the subject, these proverbs urge us to wrestle with and reflect on our own response to them. To help you better engage with the proverbs in this reading plan, we have provided you with a short introduction and reflection questions for each day.

Though it is part of our sinful nature to rebel against God, His commands are more than rules. They are one of the primary ways He has revealed His character. The commands of God help us know who He is and what He values for the children He loves.

Reflection Questions: 

According to these proverbs, what purpose do God’s commands serve in the life of a Christian?

Where do you find yourself starting to “run wild” (Proverbs 29:18)? What do you think drives in us the desire to live without instruction?

Are you willing to receive correction and reproof? If so, under what circumstances and from whom? If not, why?
