By He Reads Truth
The book of Proverbs is a guide for pursuing godly wisdom in our daily lives. Though written thousands of years ago, we can look to it for timeless truth about a variety of life’s circumstances, 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.
The foundational truth in Proverbs is this: to deny God is to walk in the way of a fool, but to follow in God’s ways is the heart of wisdom. Wisdom is not just the accumulation of knowledge; it is a way we walk through life, seeking to know and live out God’s truth. Folly, in the biblical sense of the word, is to hold the pursuit of truth in contempt by choosing to make our own path. A life of wisdom or folly comes from more than the individual decisions we make; it comes from how we approach the journey of life as a whole.
