Wise Up

Lesson Title: Seeking God's Wisdom - Living and walking in God’s ways require wisdom. Solomon reminds us in Proverbs that when we seek wisdom, God will give it to us.

Scripture: Proverbs 2

Wonder Truth: God Gives Wisdom When We Need It

Foundation Building Blocks

Who: There are several collections of sayings in Proverbs, but Solomon is credited with writing Proverbs 1:1¬22:16; 25¬29. Additionally, the “sayings of wise people” beginning in Proverbs 22:17 are frequently attributed to Solomon.

What: Proverbs 2 is phrased as parental advice to a son who is encouraged to seek wisdom until it is found. It presents a “two-ways” theology, where the father warns his child to walk the righteous path instead of following paths that lead to sin.

Where: During Solomon’s rule, Israel was united as a single kingdom under one ruler. This would not remain the case, for as Proverbs 2:22 (NIV) warns, “the wicked will be cut off from the land,” which means losing access to the land promised to Abraham’s family.

When: Solomon ruled in a time of prosperity for the nation of Israel. With God’s blessing, he oversaw construction of an ornate and richly appointed temple of God. The temple demonstrated God’s presence with His people.

Connecting to God’s Big Story: Proverbs 2 says wisdom is like a treasure that has been hidden and must be found. But the mysterious plans of God were revealed in the coming of Jesus, “in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Colossians 2:3, NIV).
