30 Sayings of Counsel and Knowledge

6/10/2022

4 Comments

 
This Spring, while reading through #God's Word with the girls over in the Sweeter Than Honey #Facebook group, I discovered 30 sayings of #counsel and #knowledge that King #Solomon records for us in the #book of #Proverbs. Solomon is credited to have been the #wisest man that ever lived, and these 30 sayings of counsel and knowledge that he recorded for us in Proverbs 22-24 are still applicable today. Which of these 30 Sayings of Counsel and Knowledge did you most need to be reminded of today?

"Incline your ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply your heart to my knowledge, for it will be pleasant if you keep them within you, if all of them are ready on your lips. That your trust may be in the Lord, I have made them known to you today, even to you. Have I not written for you thirty sayings of counsel and knowledge, to make you know what is right and true, that you may give a true answer to those who sent you?" Proverbs 22:17-21

  18. Don’t blame others for consequences that arise as a result of your bad choices. Admit culpability and seek help. Proverbs 23:29-35
  19. You will know a shortcut when it presents itself. Avoid it. It leads to a dead end. Proverbs 24:1-2
  20. Life is not an accident. It is a deliberate exercise in creation. Intentionality is therefore required. Nothing desired is gained by coincidence. Proverbs 24:3-4
  21. Invest the time to find trustworthy people who can encourage and advise you; people who are going in the same direction of learning and growth. Proverbs 24:5-6
  22. Do not be afraid to admit ignorance. Silence is better than the absence of vocal restraint. Proverbs 24:7

  28. Don’t take comfort when calamity befalls people with whom you compare yourself negatively. Proverbs 24:17-18
  29. We were created for eternity. Living only for the temporal is therefore an act of misinformed ignorance and should generate a sense of sadness. Proverbs 24:19-20
  30. Don’t allow yourself to be influenced into divine disobedience. The consequences can be disastrous. Proverbs 24:21-22
