A proverb is a short, pithy saying that expresses a significant, substantial truth for life. In the book of the Proverbs, the actual compilation of proverbial statements begins with chapter 10 and extends to the end of the book. In the following series of posts, I wish to present those proverbial statements that specifically mention our relationship with the Lord. Certainly, every proverb of God’s Holy Word concerns our relationship with the Lord our God; for every proverb concerns the character of our walk before Him. Yet the following list of proverbial statements make specific mention of the Lord and of our relationship to Him. In the first six parts of this study (see above), we considered passages from Proverbs 10-24. In this part of the study, we shall consider passages from Proverbs 25-31.
