Pearls of Wisdom

Proverbs 3:1-6

God’s Word is filled with wisdom that is beneficial for all time. These “pearls” are available to anyone who wishes to experience His best for us. You will find simple truths such as “people will like you if you are loyal and kind,” and more complex advice like, “trust the LORD with all your heart.” Understanding the meaning and application of these often takes prayer, study of context, discussion, and experience. The results are well worth the effort, which is why His Word is so valuable.

Questions for further thought:
1. What is your attitude toward studying God’s Word?
2. What is the most recent “pearl” you’ve discovered in the bible?  

​Challenge: If you feel like reading/studying the bible is a chore that you are reluctant to do, find a way to change that. Maybe you need a new copy of the scriptures in a different translation (Hillcrest uses NLT) or a friend/group to join to get you motivated. Figure out what keeps your interest so you can enjoy God speaking to you through his Word!
