Proverbs 1 Study
CHAPTER
OUTLINE
Although the book was written in ancient Israel, its messages remain applicable in the modern world. As students study this book, they can learn wisdom that will help them draw closer to the Lord, and understand his ways.
What is Wisdom ?
Wisdom: – the capacity for learning, reasoning, or understanding.
If you desire wisdom you must give up foolishness. I always say, if you’re on the street of foolishness wisdom is nowhere to be found, and if you’re on the street of wisdom, success and prosperity will be your guide. You must give up the ways of the world and embrace God’s truth and wisdom.
Confess your faults and make it right with God. No matter how small. He is faithful and just to forgive us, of all unrighteousness. James 5:16
SCRIPTURES TO MEMORIZE
let the wise listen and add to their learning,
and let the discerning get guidance
Proverbs 1:5
NIV BIBLE
Let the already wise add to their learning, be open to instruction and correction.You can learn a lot from just observing and listening.
Let the already wise add to their learning, be open to instruction and correction.You can learn a lot from just observing and listening.
7. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
8. Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction
and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.
Proverbs 1:7-8
The first step to wisdom is to reject foolish ways, and begin to gain insight and understanding. The minute that we say goodbye to foolishness, we gain wisdom. Wisdom loves those who embrace her. She calls out loud, and she's preaching with boldness, hear her out.
OVERVIEW
Solomon sections the chapter into verses into topics. He talks about Wisdom and why it’s important; who can benefit from wisdom; and finally how to get wisdom ( vs 2-6) he also warns us to stay away from evil man, and to seek wisdom ( vs 8- 33)
Reading Plan
SCRIPTURES
10.My son, if sinful men entice you,
do not give in to them.
11.If they say, “Come along with us;
let’s lie in wait for innocent blood,
let’s ambush some harmless soul;
12.let’s swallow them alive, like the grave,
and whole, like those who go down to the pit;
13.we will get all sorts of valuable things
and fill our houses with plunder;
14.cast lots with us;
we will all share the loot”—
15.my son, do not go along with them,
do not set foot on their paths;
16.for their feet rush into evil,
they are swift to shed blood
Proverbs 1:10-16
Wisdom speaks to sons to pay attention and take heed. If you get invited to hang out and to do evil, do not accept the invitation. The end result is not pleasing, and it leads down to the pit. Don't be a follower of the wicked. Do not listen to their advice or accept their ways. Reject and run the other way.
20.Out in the open wisdom calls aloud,
she raises her voice in the public square;
21.on top of the wall she cries out,
at the city gate she makes her speech: 22.“How long will you who are simple love your simple ways?
How long will mockers delight in mockery
and fools hate knowledge?
23.Repent at my rebuke!
Then I will pour out my thoughts to you,
I will make known to you my teachings.
24.But since you refuse to listen when I call
and no one pays attention when I stretch out my hand,
25.since you disregard all my advice
and do not accept my rebuke,
26.I in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you;
I will mock when calamity overtakes you—
27.when calamity overtakes you like a storm,
when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind,
when distress and trouble overwhelm you.
Proverbs 1:20-27
Speaks of wisdom's rebuke. She stands on the corner calling the simple, rebuking or correcting the mocker " Repent at my rebuke.
28.Then they will call to me but I will not answer;
they will look for me but will not find me,
29.since they hated knowledge
and did not choose to fear the Lord.
30.Since they would not accept my advice
and spurned my rebuke,
31.they will eat the fruit of their ways
and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.
32.For the waywardness of the simple will kill them,
and the complacency of fools will destroy them;
33.but whoever listens to me will live in safety
and be at ease, without fear of harm.
Proverbs 1:28-33
When you reject wisdom, she will laugh at you. There are consequences for evil actions. She calls everyone to turn away from evil works.

Your Story is important to someone else. The details of your testimony are life to someone else. I couldn’t have spoken into strangers life, if I myself did not go through the battles. I can only speak because I know the pain, the hurt, and confusion. I pray God comforts us, and gives us the grace to tell our story, no matter how small the details are.
Let’s not hesitate to share our testimonies and help each other walk through the valleys, and reach our destinations together. With a sense of fulfillment, and helping others get there can be a rewarding and satisfying experience, because when we lift each other up, we don’t just reach our destinations, we thrive in them.
I’d love to share your Story on my SITE!
