Wisdom: A Study in Proverbs Week 1 "The Pursuit of Wisdom"

Chisholm Assembly of God Podcast

Pastor Micah started a new series this week called Wisdom: A Study in Proverbs! While King Solomon was not perfect (he didn’t even always take his own advice!) he did record an incredible collection of wisdom in the book of Proverbs. This wisdom is timeless; it was relevant thousands of years ago and it is relevant today. The specifics may have changed, but the principles in Proverbs are still solid and sound advice for you and me! This week we focused on defining what wisdom is, and how to pursue or gain wisdom!
Here are 2 important observations I wanted to highlight in regards to the book of Proverbs:

1. Proverbs contains general principles about how life should work.
2. Proverbs contains examples of foolish vs. wise behavior. (Not necessarily focusing on the morality of right vs wrong)

So how do we pursue/gain wisdom in our lives?

1. Ask God for it!
2. Seek out God's Truth! (Scripture)
3. Listen to Wise People

Bottom Line: Wisdom is knowledge applied, but in Proverbs we learn that Godly Wisdom is knowledge applied in a way that honors God!
