The Book of Proverbs and
Worldview
The Book of Proverbs is an often times overlooked book.
Its short, pithy sayings and lofty philosophical treatises
are sometimes hard to digest quickly. Because of that,
we often turn away from the treasures that this book
has to offer – especially in regards to the way in which
we view the world.

Most likely this compilation of different writers on the


subject of life was put together in order to give Israel an
understanding of what a God-fearing worldview was
like. The wisdom of the Holy Spirit is communicated
through these words, especially in regards to how
someone who claims a relationship with God should see
his or her relationship with the world.

Some clear worldview maxims appear as general ideas


in Proverbs:

• There is both good and evil/wisdom and folly


in the world.
• Human beings have the freedom to reject
wisdom and choose folly, but those
decisions have clear consequences.
• The enemies of wisdom will always seem
more enticing, but wisdom will always be
better in the end.
• Human relationships have rules, and those
rules have been established by God.
Please don’t throw this away. If you’re not going to use it, leave it for
someone else to use.
