Proverbs - Chapter-27

Chapter Summary

Warnings and Instructions.

You are not promised tomorrow. Would you be pleased with the state of your relationships if your life ended today? How can you seek out reconciliation today?
Since tomorrow is not promised to you, how do you know if your are righteous before the Lord? Read Romans 3:10-12. Do you seek God like he wants you to seek Him? Why or why not?
Who have you been concealing love from? What steps will you take to show your love for that person?
Why is a person who wanders from their home like a bird that strays from its nest? Read Philippians 3:20. How else can the concept of "home" be applied? How does this give additional meaning to verse 8?
Why is loudly blessing a friend early in the morning like a curse? Is it a curse to you or the friend? Why?
How do you sharpen your brothers or sisters in Christ? Think about what happens when a person sharpens a knife. How does it work? How does this process help us understand verse 17?
Why is the grave never satisfied? How do the eyes of man mirror this? How can being content bring out the best in your life?
How can you refine your praise to the Lord? Why is refining your praise to Him a good thing to do?
How does a fool's punishment, which is discussed at length in Proverbs, related to verse 22? Why do you think it is so hard for a fool to learn a lesson from his mistakes?
Reflect on the fool and the the wise in this chapter. In what ways do you need to change your life to be more like the wise man?
