Reflections on Proverbs 18-19

Which proverb especially speaks to your life situation today?  How should you respond?

  • Anger – Wisdom leads us to overlook offenses rather than become angry (19:11). Why is that a wise response?  Why is it so difficult to respond this way?  What offenses do you need to overlook right now?
  • Wife – A good wife is a good gift from God; it is an example of God’s favor (18:22, 19:14). Husband: do you value your wife?  Are you thankful for this good gift from God?  A quarreling wife is like a continual dripping of rain (19:13).  Wife: are you quarrelsome?
