from this passage.

FOR LIFE
TODAY

3.   Focus again on this definition for
the word wisdom — the skill
needed to live a productive life that pleases God. As you look back over
chapters 22-24 in Proverbs, what areas of skill are taught here that you would
most like to see "sharpened" in your own life?

4.   Prepare again to give a five-minute
talk from this chapter before an assembly of high-schoolers,
this time from chapters 22-24. Which verses would you choose to talk about?
What main points would you make, and what true-life examples would you use to
illustrate those points?

5.   Prepare also for a five-minute
presentation to second-graders. Which verses from chapters 22-24 would you
choose to talk about, what main points would you make, and what true-life
examples would you use to illustrate those points?
