[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 who isolates himself seeks his own desires; he rages against all wise judgment (Proverbs 18:1).
The self-absorbed, self-centered, self-made man only robs himself of…
- …the wisdom others could give him (vv. 1, 15)
- …understanding more deeply (vv. 2, 4)
- …peaceful relationships (vv. 6, 7, 18, 19, 24)
- …getting the full story (vv. 8, 13, 17)
- …God’s help (v. 10)
- …honor (v. 12)
- …life (v. 21)
Don’t get ripped off by thinking you already know it all!
