[Each chapter in the Book of Proverbs contains thoughts that fit into a theme; they are not just random thoughts gathered together. In this “Saturday In The Proverbs” series, I will share a theme that I see in each chapter. But the cool thing about God’s Word is that you may see an entirely different theme. That’s great! If you do, I would love for you to share it in the comments below.]
A man shall eat well by the fruit of his mouth … The righteous eats to the satisfying of his soul… (Proverbs 13:2, 25).
God’s wisdom never leaves us flat. Never leaves us with a bad taste in our mouth. Never leaves us unsatisfied. Never leaves us without all that we need.
God’s wisdom…
- instructs (v. 1)
- satisfies the soul (vv. 2, 12, 25)
- preserves life (vv. 3, 14)
- brings real riches (vv. 4, 7, 11)
- promotes (v. 5)
- guards (vv. 6, 8)
- leaves a legacy (vv. 9, 22, 24)
- increases peace (v. 10)
- rewards (v. 13)
- brings favor (vv. 15, 18)
- grows knowledge (v. 16)
- preserves health (v. 17)
- gets things down (v. 19)
- gains even more wisdom (v. 20)
- repays good (v. 21)
- wastes nothing (v. 23)
