Why do we study Proverbs? Here are seven reasons:
Proverbs 1:1-6 The proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel:
To know wisdom and instruction;
To discern the words of understanding;
To receive instruction in wise dealing, In righteousness, justice, and equity;
To give prudence to the simple, Knowledge and discretion to the young man:
That the wise man may hear, and increase in learning;
That the man of understanding may attain to sound counsel:
To understand a proverb, and parables, The words and riddles of the wise.
These teach us the ways of God, how we can know His voice!
John 10:25-30 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one.

2 Timothy 1:12 For this cause I suffer also these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.
