30 Day Challenge: A Walk Through ProverbsSample

Day Eight 

Read Proverbs 8 

Throughout the book of Proverbs, wisdom is personified as a woman. In today’s reading we hear from wisdom and learn more about her. Take time to read through and think about all the ways that wisdom is described. At the end of the passage we see that those who love wisdom find life, but those who don’t end up hurting themselves (maybe not physically, but spiritually or emotionally). Have you seen this to be true in your own life?

Reflect 

When was wisdom created?

What are some other times that the passage tells us wisdom was present?

Do you know what the word blessed means? It means to be made holy. Look back at verses 32-36. Who are the kinds of people who are blessed, or made holy?

Engage 

Verse 35 says whoever finds wisdom finds life and obtains favor from the LORD. Based on what you’ve read and learned from Proverbs so far, how can you find wisdom?

An Extra Mile 

Go back and read Genesis 1 where God creates the heavens and the earth. God had and has all wisdom. Reflect on what that means for how God made you.
