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.
In this life, we experience blessings and curses—consequences of choices we make or the choices others make that affect us. The preserving grace of God assures us that He is not temperamental or spiteful, but does discipline His children. His discipline is for our flourishing because how we live and what we do here and now matters.
Reflection Questions:
To what extent do you recognize God’s blessings in your life? What are some ways God has blessed you?
To what extent do you recognize God’s opposition in your life? Are there any areas of your life you feel God has thwarted or opposed?
What do you think God is responding to when He blesses? What do you think God is opposing when He curses?

Lately I haven’t noticed god’s opposition that much, I have taken note of his blessings in my life though. The lord has blessed us with a beautiful property where just this morning we were able to show our children two deer grazing in our back yard. I have a wonderful husband who would do anything for me. We have two beautiful children who are full of energy and life and curiosity. We both have jobs and income and our health during this challenging time. He has truly blessed me in every way and I oftentimes don’t feel worthy of his blessings

My curses are currently great. Including one thing after the next popping up as obstacles as we try to make decisions on where to move and how (currently living at my mil house) – it makes me think we are being too proud. We think we can decide what the best thing is for us without turning to HIM and listening to what path He wants for us. My two small girls are suffering as we bicker and fight and lose focus on his blessings. He has blessed me greatly with two healthy children. They are bright and loving and have truly hearts make of gold. I don’t deserve such blessings!

These reflection questions were awesome! The first one really helped me see how much God has blessed me. Everything around us God has given to us, and sometimes it just seems like everyday life for us. But it’s all blessings from God! Thank you Lord for blessing me so big!
