She Loves Truth Week Two Proverbs 46

She Loves Truth Week Two Proverbs 4-6

6/9/2020

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

How do you know whom to listen to or what advice to take when you have an important decision to make? With the Internet, we have access to an overwhelming amount of information. Well-meaning people tell us all sorts of things. Some of it is true and some of it is not. It’s up to us to discern the difference between the two. Proverbs 14:6 says: “A scoffer seeks wisdom in vain, but knowledge is easy for a man of understanding.” We want wisdom and knowledge, we want to be women of understanding, and we hunger for truth.

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!

Last week, we looked at Proverbs 1-3: Trust in the Lord. This week, we'll be studying Proverbs 4-6, and a few Practical Truths For Living.

Proverbs 4-6: Practical Truths For Living

One thing I love about the book of Proverbs is its clear and practical truths. Here in chapter 6, we find 19 verses fill with truths and warnings about how we should, and should not, live our lives.

“My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, have given your pledge for a stranger, if you are snared in the words of your mouth, caught in the words of your mouth, then do this, my son, and save yourself, for you have come into the hand of your neighbor: go, hasten, and plead urgently with your neighbor.

Give your eyes no sleep and your eyelids no slumber; save yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the hand of the fowler. Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest. How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber and want like an armed man.

A worthless person, a wicked man, goes about with crooked speech, winks with his eyes, signals with his feet, points with his finger, with perverted heart devises evil, continually sowing discord; therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in a moment he will be broken beyond healing.

There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to Him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers." (Proverbs 6:1-19)

There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to Him:

haughty eyes
a lying tongue
hands that shed innocent blood
a heart that devises wicked plans
feet that make haste to run to evil
a false witness who breathes out lies
one who sows discord among brothers

In these 19 verses we read truths about our relationship with others, what happens to a lazy and worthless person, and finally, seven things God hates—simple, practical truths for living.

I love the practicality of Proverbs. Sometimes when listening to a sermon or reading a book dealing with Christian principles, I long for the speaker or writer to show me what that looks like lived out in everyday life. Thankfully, most do. But Proverbs is Exhibit A in truth fleshed out in practical and understandable ways.

I love its practicality too, Barbara! And just the fact that it's been practical wisdom to generation after generation and continues to be so.

"Proverbs is Exhibit A in truth fleshed out in practical and understandable ways." <— I LOVE THAT! :) So true!

I want to remain aware of what God hates so I can align my heart with what he loves.

Wow, Michele, I love that —> "I want to remain aware of what God hates so I can align my heart with what he loves." I think I could write a whole post based on the comments in this post!

I love the practical truths in Proverbs. I try to reread through them all every few years. I learn something new every time.

Every time I read the book of Proverbs, I am truly amazed by its practicality. It is just as practical to those of the generation of King Solomon as to our own generation. That really speaks to how applicable this book is to everyday living.

The first time I heard the verse commanding us to free ourselves like a gazelle was while listening to a Dave Ramsey podcast. I was intrigued by that analogy. The entire chapter uses animals to teach us humans a financial lesson. God is such an innovative teacher. It get it through these visuals and practicality.

For sure Dave Ramsey can teach us how to "free ourselves like a gazelle" financially! Love his podcasts and books! We have so much to learn from God's creation—it's a great teacher!
