Proverbs 2

I hope you have decided to join me in reading through proverbs!  It's not to late to start!
Today's reading is Proverb 2.  If you haven't read it yet, just click here:  http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%202&version=NIV

For Proverbs 1 info - scroll down a bit....

Proverbs 2 is titled Moral Benefits of Wisdom.
It tells us to trust in God's word and he will protect us.
That wisdom will help us to:
  understand what is right and wrong,
  save us from the ways of wicked men,
  save us from the adultress,
  thus, allow us to walk in the ways of good men.

My favorite verse:
Proverbs 2:6
For the Lord gives wisdom,
and from his mouth come knowledge and
understanding.


DISCUSSION QUESTIONS—
1) What is wisdom (in your own words)?
2) Where does wisdom originate (2:6)? How is wisdom acquired... what is necessary on our part (1:7; 9:10)? Explain.
3) Does having wisdom guarantee we will live by wisdom? What else does wisdom need besides knowledge?
