This book of Proverbs is here to help us change who we are. That\u2019s its purpose. When understood and applied, these short, pithy sayings instruct us on how to live an abundant life filled with joy, happiness, and righteousness. Not only does it help us live that sort of life now, but it shows us the way to eternal life through the righteousness of Christ and obedience to his ways. In virtually every chapter, it contrasts the ways of the wicked with the ways of the righteous<\/a>, the behavior of the wise with the behavior of fools, so we can discern between the two and choose the right way of living.<\/p>\n My question to you is, \u201cHas your life improved at all since we\u2019ve begun studying this book together? Are you applying these wise sayings to your life?\u201d<\/p>\n Let\u2019s dig in and see what other treasures we can find in this chapter.<\/p>\n
