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.
One of the overarching themes of the Bible is the astonishing love of God toward rebellious and sinful people. This aspect of God’s nature plays out in every setting and circumstance, including in our broken world. To truly know God—and, therefore, to truly walk in wisdom—we must not only know what God loves, but also what He hates.
Reflection Questions:
Why do you think there are proverbs that talk about what God hates? Why is this important for us to know?
God hates sin but loves the people He has created. When you are sinned against or are a witness to sin, is hatred something that rises up in you? Why do you think that?
Read Proverbs 28:9. What does the first half of this verse have to do with the second?

28:9 is about even if you do good, or are kind and you turn your back on the lord, even your prayers won’t be good for the lord

3) I guess if someone actively chooses to turn away from faith but then prays outwardly it may look baseless. However I’m sensing God wanting to remind me it’s not my place to judge others on their journey and relationship with God, however remember to have meaningful prayers to God which my whole heart and faith can get behind

2) I think it’s a really normal behaviour for humans to get angry when we witness sins against us, however we should look to God for His ability to forgive those around us for wrongdoings. In this passage it’s reminding us that it’s okay to not like behaviours but that if God models to hate the sin not the sinner then we should strive to do the same

1) with any loving parent God is setting some boundaries of where we need to keep ourself protected from. To include what He hates is revealing to us guidelines and a healthy understanding of what He wants from us

Yes! I feel the same, yes by telling us what he hates God is giving us a rule book. But I always think/feel/embrace God as love first and foremost, so I resonate and connect so much deeper with the rest of each of these passages where it speaks on Gods LOVE!
