Zealous For What?
Proverbs 23:17-24:1
Sunday, April 17th, 2005
As we continue our study of Proverbs we are moving into the third section of this powerful book of instruction. The prologue, which set forth for us the purpose of studying the Proverbs, is found in Proverbs 1:1-7. The first section of instruction began in Proverbs 1:8 and ended at Proverbs 9:18. In section one we read about Solomon’s wisdom offered to his son. The wisdom Solomon offered was broken down into twelve different lessons. In section two we have the Proverbs of Solomon. We’ve learned from many weeks of study that Solomon’s Proverbs in this section are little, one or two sentence nuggets of wisdom which span the spectrum of situations and scenarios that the young man will face in life. This second section of Proverbs began at Proverbs 10:1 and continued to Proverbs 22:16.
The Priceless Value Of A Good Name
Proverbs 22:1-9

Throughout Proverbs we’ve witnessed Solomon urging his son to gain wisdom. Wisdom is more priceless than silver and its worth far exceeds the value of gold. (Proverbs 3:14) We are told that if we will look for wisdom as we would for silver and search for it as if it were a hidden treasure then we will understand the “fear of the Lord” and gain wisdom. (Proverbs 2:4) In Proverbs 8:10-11, Solomon encouraged his son to “choose” instruction and knowledge, the components of wisdom, because wisdom is more precious than rubies. Solomon says,
10 Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold, 11 for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her. (Proverbs 8:10-11 NIV)
How Do You Decide “What’s Right?”
Proverbs 21:2-8
Sunday, April 3rd, 2005
People have always had to make decisions. “Where will I live?” “What do I want to do with my life?” “Who will I marry?” Throughout time people have also been faced with tough ethical and moral decisions. “How will I respond to what happens to me?” “How will I run my business?” “Will I cheat others or deal with them fairly?” “Will I lie or be a person who tells the truth?” “Will I be faithful to my husband or wife or will I choose to be unfaithful and tear my home apart?” Those are questions that people have had to address throughout time.
