Days 16-17

Day 16


A Taste of Wisdom

Read Proverbs 1:1. Continue as far as you can in the given time.

As you read, watch for the answers to the following questions.

What is the beginning of knowledge?
What does Proverbs 3:5-10 say?
What is wisdom better than? More precious than?
What does Proverbs 3:27 teach?
How many chapters begin with the phrase “my son”?

After reading and answering the questions, spend time praying.

Ask God to show you your folly. Ask Him for wisdom. Pray about some of the Proverbs that specifically spoke to you.
 
 
 
Day 17


Wisdom Lost

Read 1 Kings 11-12.

As you read, watch for the answers to the following questions.

What did Solomon love that caused him to head down the wrong path as a king and a spiritual leader for the nation?
What happened to the kingdom of Israel that his father, David, passed on to Solomon?
Who were the new kings and who make up their “kingdoms”?
Were either of the new kings going to follow in the instruction that God gave David?

After reading and answering the questions, spend time praying.

Pray for God’s help in remaining faithful to Him and His commandments. Ask God to give you wisdom throughout your life. Thank God for being bigger than our sin.
