THIS MONTH'S BIBLICAL THEME IS: God is Wise
Solomon wrote the book of Proverbs after God answered his prayer and gave him great wisdom. We should seek wisdom. Wisdom is understanding a situation and knowing what to do. God loves us so much that He sent His Son to die for our sins, but His love doesn’t stop there. God has much to say about friendship and how we use our words and resources. We can trust His ways and apply what we learn from Him.
God’s Wisdom (Proverbs 2–3)
Solomon wrote the book of Proverbs after God answered his prayer and gave him great wisdom. Proverbs teaches us we should seek after wisdom like it is a hidden treasure. Wisdom is understanding a situation and knowing what to do. God is the source of all wisdom. We can learn from Him by seeking Him first and diligently studying His Word. We can trust His ways and apply what we learn from Him. God’s wisdom protects us and helps us live life His way. Wisdom brings His blessings into our lives.
Solomon was David’s son but one day, many generations later, another Son would come from David’s family. God had promised that the Messiah would come through David’s line. Jesus fulfilled this promise! God made Solomon extremely wise, but Jesus is even wiser. During His earthly ministry, Jesus amazed people with His wisdom (Matthew 13:54). Jesus became our wisdom and all true wisdom is hidden in Him. We can’t truly seek wisdom without first trusting in Jesus as our Savior.
