The Heart of Wisdom
Scripture Focus: Proverbs 30:4-6
Who has gone up to heaven and come down?
Who has gathered the wind in his hands?
Who has bound up the waters in a cloak?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is his name,
and what is the name of his son—if you know?
Every word of God is pure;
he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
Don’t add to his words,
or he will rebuke you, and you will be proved a liar.
Proverbs 30:4–6, CSB
Remember...
There is a God, and you're not Him...
Thesis:
The heart of wisdom values what God values, and lives accordingly.
Four values in Proverbs 30:
1. The heart of wisdom loves truth...
Proverbs 30:7-9
Psalm 51:6
...because God desires truth within.
2. The heart of wisdom treasures contentment...
Proverbs 30:7-9
Philippians 4:12-13
…because we are made to find our ultimate satisfaction in Christ.
3. The heart of wisdom honors others...
Proverbs 30:10
Romans 12:14-16
…because God so loved the whole world.
4. The heart of wisdom remains humble
1 Peter 5:5
Philippians 2:5-8
because Jesus exemplified humility.
