Quiz 5a Preparation:
- Your Verses: Proverbs 12:21-23, 25 (ESV)
- - Ill: This Hebrew word refers to things that are evil, troublesome, or sorrowful
- - Prudent: The quality of being shrewd or sensible
- - Folly: Foolishness
- Your Questions: Based upon class discussion & your personal reflection of these verses, use complete sentences & your own words to specifically answer:
- - 1) Explain why is Proverbs 12:21 is in the Bible when it doesn’t always seem to be right.
- - - Remember that for proverbs, you need wisdom to use & apply them correctly
- - - There are about three different ways you could answer this:
- - - - Generally vs. Specifically: Proverbs usually are not meant 'always true' in 'every situation', but 'in general' it is true that living in righteousness leads to less bad times!
- - - - - Generally, the affects of wickedness (e.g. addictions to drugs, alcoholism, broken relationships, time in jail, etc...) are full of much trouble!
- - - - - But, someone who tries to love God and people rarely encounters those things!
- - - - Spiritual vs. Physical: While physically we will have trouble on earth (Jesus shares that in John 16:33), spiritually things are great, if we are made righteous by God! Also, God promised to work all things for the good of those who love Him & are called to His purposes (righteous people, Rom. 8:28)- - - - - Generally, the affects of wickedness (e.g. addictions to drugs, alcoholism, broken relationships, time in jail, etc...) are full of much trouble!
- - - - - But, someone who tries to love God and people rarely encounters those things!
- - - - Eternal (in Heaven) vs. Now (On Earth): While righteous people encounter hard times here on earth, this is only temporary! When we die and go to heaven, there is absolutely no ill thing that will hurt us! Eternally this proverb is absolutely correct! :-)
- - - Again, show me that you have thought through your answer, explain 'both sides.'
- - 2) Describe how Proverbs 12:25 tells to cheer someone up. Give one Jr. High example of how you could do this.
- - - There are several different answers you could give to this, read the verse & give one that is appropriate to it.
