​She Loves Truth Week Six Proverbs 16-18

​Welcome to week six of our Summer 2020 Book Club-Style Bible Study--She Loves Truth. 

The book of Proverbs often contrasts the benefits of seeking wisdom and the pitfalls of living a fool’s life. I want to be on the "seeking wisdom" side of that contrast. I'm sure you do too.

This summer, we are looking for truth in a 10-week study of the book of Proverbs. Join us each Tuesday morning at 9:00, June 2 - August 4, and let’s seek truth together and record what we find because She Loves Truth!

​So far, we've looked at Proverbs 1-3: Trust in the Lord​, Proverbs 4-6: Practical Truths For Living, Proverbs 7-9: The Blessings of Wisdom, Proverbs 10-12: Truths to Help You Thrive. and Proverbs 13-15: Wisdom and Truth. This week we'll be studying Proverbs 16-18.

Watch This!

I am reminded today, how often we make our little plans and God says, “Watch this!” Let’s look at what Proverbs 16 has to say about our plans.

“The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord. All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the spirit. Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” (16:1-3)

“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” (16:9)
​
“There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.” (16:25)

I can’t tell you the number of times I have made plans, good plans, only to have to change them because God has something better planned. I could get frustrated, or I could commit my work to the Lord and allow Him to establish my plans. 

I find myself saying this a lot: “What’s next, God?” I say often of myself, “I’m just a girl asking God what’s next.” It’s the truth. I have learned, over time, to hold my little plans very loosely in my hands because quite often, more often than not, God has bigger and better plans.

Again, in chapter 16 as in previous chapters of Proverbs, we are reminded of the great value of wisdom and understanding:

“How much better to get wisdom than gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver. The highway of the upright turns aside from evil; whoever guards his way preserves his life. Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor than to divide the spoil with the proud. Whoever gives thought to the Word will discover good, and blessed is he who trusts in the Lord. The wise of heart is called discerning, and sweetness of speech increases persuasiveness. Good sense is a fountain of life to him who has it…” (16:16-22)

Wisdom is better than gold and understanding better than silver. Let’s give thought to the Word today and discover good. Read chapters 17-18 and record the truths you find there.
