The PROVERBS for Men
About This Study
There is, within every man, a deep desire to do what is right, a longing to navigate all of life’s adventures with a clear understanding of what is at stake and the best path forward towards victory. Aboard a vessel thrown among the waves of sin, every man encounters an absence within themselves that can only be filled through the deposit of wisdom.
Living well, as it turns out, is no easy feat.
The book of Proverbs enters our lives as a gift, given freely by our Heavenly Father through Solomon, Lemuel, Agur, and the men of Hezekiah. Its pages contain God’s divine wisdom translated through story, illustration, admonishment, and encouragement. Proverbs is, in its way, a map, reaching out to us from 500 years before the likes of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle as if to say,
“Follow me, and live well.”
As human beings, not one of us could hope to take hold of that calling to perfection, and so the book before you now is not one of condemnation or judgment. Instead, this collection of ancient Proverbs and current reflections is built to remind you that through the righteous life, sacrifice, and resurrection of Jesus, you have been given the gift of God’s Holy Spirit, by which you may pursue His wisdom perfected.
