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.
Jesus says, “But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:44–45). Amos 5:15 reads, “Hate evil and love good.” One of the profound characteristics of a maturing Christ follower is a desire to live in the tension of hating evil while loving our enemies. In a way, this is the heart of the gospel: Christ came carrying an unwavering disdain for the sin at work in us while maintaining an unwavering love for us. We are also called to remain faithful and truthful keeping company with those who are reliable (Proverbs 25:19).
Reflection Questions:
How often would you say you are caught in an internal struggle between good and evil?
Read Proverbs 3:3. What does it mean to tie faithfulness around your neck and write it on the tablet of your heart?
Who are some faithful people in your life? If an unfaithful person is compared to a bad tooth or a busted foot (Proverbs 25:19), to what would you compare a faithful person?

Jesus Christ, the Son of God demonstrated faithful when he came to earth. He stayed true to what his father’s will was for him here on earth, He did not let the chaos of that day to distract him. He remained faithful to His mission.

– Caught between good and evil? Daily!
– I think to tie it around our neck and write it on our heart is to make it who we are, show it on the inside and outside of who we are.
– A faithful person is like
– Honey, a healing balm- wrote this in my notebook from Taylor because I loved that!

The internal battle of good and evil is not always clear and lots of time showing up as a blended gray. Seeking God’s guidance and wisdom will help to discern. May we have the strength and determination to project our faithfulness and loyalty to the Lord and to other people VISIBLY as a beautiful ornament on our neck and DEEPLY in our heart as it is part of us (“as a man thinks in his heart, so is he”). May we discern those who are in our company, to not trust wrongly in the “bad tooth” and “limping foot” in times of need. A faithful person to me is like a Rocky Mountain (for which I am blessed to have the view of within my city limit, when driving by I usually think God made this and He is even bigger than this), grand and majestic and cannot be moved. The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust. The Lord is the same yesterday, today and forever. Praise the name of the Lord.
