Midweek Devotion: Proverbs 4
| Devotional
Wednesday, July 1, 2026 Proverbs 4:5 “Acquire wisdom! Acquire understanding! Do not forget nor turn away from the words of my mouth.” Proverbs 4 represents one of Solomon’s most personal appeals to his son. Unlike many of the shorter, independent proverbs later in the book, this chapter forms an extended fatherly exhortation. Solomon begins by recalling the instruction he himself received from his father David (vv. 1–4). Having benefited from godly instruction, Solomon now passes that same wisdom to ...

Dear Saints, Here is a summary of the application from yesterday's sermon for your consideration. Please note something new at the end. Pastor Bordwine * Abiathar's downfall reminds us that faithfulness in the past does not guarantee faithfulness in the future. A long record of service can be marred by a single act of disobedience if we do not remain diligent in guarding our hearts. The Christian life requires continual vigilance and perseverance. We should regularly examine ourselves to ensure ...

Proverbs 3:7 occurs within a section of Solomon's instruction that emphasizes wholehearted trust in the Lord. In the preceding verses, Solomon exhorts his son to trust in the Lord with all his heart and not to lean on his own understanding. He is to acknowledge God in all his ways and trust Him to direct his paths. ...

Dear Saints, Here is a summary of the application from yesterday's sermon for your consideration. Pastor Bordwine * Adonijah's actions remind us that sinful people often pursue their goals indirectly rather than openly. Instead of approaching Solomon himself, he attempted to use Bathsheba’s influence on her son to gain an advantage. Scripture repeatedly warns us about such subtle and deceptive methods. * Christians must be careful not to participate in the spread of suspicion, criticism, or ...

Wednesday, June 3, 2026 Proverbs 3:3 Do not let kindness and truth leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.

The chapter begins by urging the reader not to forget God’s teaching, but to keep His commandments in the heart. Solomon is not teaching that obedience to God is ...

Dear Saints, Here is a summary of the application from yesterday's sermon. As you begin this new week, remember our time before the Lord and consider how you might apply these observations. * As David neared the end of his life, his primary concern for Solomon was not earthly success, but his son’s walk before God. Though David possessed wealth, influence, authority, and honor, he understood that true and lasting blessings are found only in covenant faithfulness to the Lord. ...
