Proverbs Essays - United States Presidential Inaugurations Proverbs Proverbs The book of Proverbs explains the wisdom of the Lord and the duties towards God and our parents. We should praise God for his wisdom because He created us and the world. God tells us that we need to be prepared when we serve Him because He will judge us when we die. We need to accept whatever falls upon us and make the best of it like God would want us to do. The book of Proverbs tells us that we need to cling on to Him which to me that means we should follow His teachings and do whatever it takes to be with God so we can share in Gods life in heaven. When something bad happens to us and we dont know how to handle it we can always pray to God for help, instead of doing what may seem right to us may be wrong to God, that is why we should pray to Him for help. If we trust in God then he will help us to make the best of the situation. As long as we believe in God then he will forgive us. I know that if we confess our sins often so that we dont forget some of them later that he will forgive us as long as we are truly sorry for them, we do our penance and we ask him for forgiveness then he will forgive us. But if we dont do those things he will judge us when we die and we will regret not doing them. In chapter three it talks about our duties toward our parents. I agree with what it says because they bring us into the world and raise us. They also help us when we have problems in life by telling us why we cant do something or why something is wrong. They also help us by encouraging us, like doing good in school, practice hard for a sport, and helping other people out when they too need help. I feel that if we didnt have our parents to raise us and help us out when we need it that we would stray off of what God tells us to do because they give us the most support and guidance in our lives. That to me is one of the biggest commandments that God gave us. In chapter four it talks about the poor. I think that most of the poor did not choose the way they live but they do need our help most of all. We can help the poor by not turning away from them but by helping them with what they need, like giving them food or water, by giving them shelter and clothes, and by helping them turn to God for help too because that way they can try and live the way God wants them to live. There are also poor people who bring it onto themselves by maybe dropping out of school, quitting their jobs, running away from their homes, and by taking big risks. But they too need help and we can help them by doing all that we can for them. Chapter four also talks about the rewards of wisdom. I know that if we help people who need help then God will in return will let us be with him in heaven. But if we dont then we will eventually regret the things that we could of done in our lives on earth when we are judged. We also need to ignore the evils so that we dont fall into sin. God tells us not to show favoritism because it is to our own discredit. I think when we do show favoritism that is when people will use us and that is when it is to our discredit. He also tells us that we should not refrain from speaking at the proper time and not hide our wisdom. God wants us to use our wisdom and our talents that is why he gave them to us. In chapter six it talks about true friends. It tells us how we should test them before we trust them. I think that we should test the people who we want to be friends with before we trust them because some people will just take advantage of you and then leave you when there is nothing else that they want. I feel that there is allot of people out in the world today that like to
