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?

I think it is important to know what God hates and also what he loves to know right from wrong and understand the ways we can work to earn his favor and forgiveness.
The passage that stuck out to me the most was Proverbs 16:4 The Lord has made everything for its purpose,
even the wicked for the day of trouble.
I feel like I always need this reminder that god always has a plan for us- we will have wickedness and we will suffer but as long as we trust in him and his plan, we will have peace! -
It’s so reassuring that God hates evil; the things that make us hurt and separate us and make us lonely and give us pain. Sometimes when we do the things He hates, we forget the consequences and think life is going well, until it catches up to us. You reap what you sow. He hates to see us hurt. He’s for us, not against us. He wants us to not go to those things that will harm us.
