Proverbs 12:1-28, 13:1-25
My friend, this homework is not for cramming. To get the most out of this study you need to seek to work on it a little bit every day. Keep in mind that you will get out of it what you put into it. So, invest deeply and be deeply blessed by an increase in the wisdom of our Savior! 1. Read Proverbs 12-13 each day this week or 3 days of chapter 12 and 3 days of chapter 13. 2. Work each day this week on memorizing Proverbs 12:22 and 13:20, 24 3. Mark your key words as you encounter them in the text of Chapter 12-13 (see bookmark.) 4. This week again also mark the words righteous/ness and wicked. I used light blue to shade over righteous and put a big R on it and for wicked you can draw a black cloud around the whole word. (Official Inductive symbols) 5. Most of the verses in these chapters are comparative, however there are several that are completive-the second line adds more meaning to the first line, completing the thought. Look for these Proverbs (usually indicated by an and)and consider how they are related to the verses around them. What themes do you see gluing these Proverbs together that previously didn’t seem apparent? **It may help to grab another colored pencil and out boxes around all the conjunctions but and mark specially the ands.
6. From these two chapters, list all that we learn about the heart (look for your marked key words.)
If you remember, the Proverbs is full of the observation of what is usually true among the sons of men. Have you seen these truths about the Heart lived out in your own heart or in the hearts of others? Write your illustrations below.
