Proverbs 19-21 Bible study 🌸
Todays study is proverbs 19-21: I recommend you read the Bible on your own time and gain knowledge/discernment.
Here’s what I learned:
• choose your friends wisely. Not everyone is your friend
• Many will want to be your friend because you have money/things. But when you’re poor and have nothing they won’t even talk to you.
• the one who has a good heart, loves himself. You’ll find success in understanding.
• a house has money because of the father/husband, but the wife that is frugal, cautious she’s from the Lord
• don’t be lazy, all you’ll do is sleep. And because of sleep you’ll hunger.
• discipline your children. Don’t wait until it’s too late.
• we make plans but Gods order/authority/plans will always win. It’s like the saying “ we make plans and God laughs”
• avoid fights. It’s better to stop them.
• don’t be around people who gossip. AVOID THEM!
• think things through so you won’t change your mind later.
• don’t be a nagging wife or an angry wife

The book of Proverbs offers timeless wisdom applicable to our daily lives. Proverbs 19 highlights the significance of choosing friends wisely and warns against the fickleness of those who may distance themselves in times of hardship. The text emphasizes that true friendship is anchored in integrity rather than material wealth. Additionally, it underscores the importance of a good heart, one that ultimately leads to success through understanding. Discipline and guidance are core themes; Proverbs encourages parents to train their children early, establishing a foundation for future behavior. Laziness is also cautioned against, resonating with the saying, 'A slacker buries his hand in the bowl,' which warns of inaction leading to dire consequences. Moreover, God’s sovereignty is a recurring motif - illustrating that while humans make plans, divine will ultimately prevails. This reflects the need for humility and an understanding of God’s greater plan. Proverbs 21 continues this theme, addressing the necessity of just behavior, the consequences of lies and deception, and the importance of discernment in judgment. It teaches not only about the traits of a wise person but also the value of patience, integrity, and righteousness, offering guidance on maintaining honor and respect in relationships. By reflecting on these verses, readers can cultivate a lifestyle that aligns with biblical principles, embracing patience and wisdom in a world that often prioritizes haste and superficiality.
