Brite Idea: All wisdom comes from God.
Solomon wrote the book of Proverbs after God answered his prayer and gave him great wisdom. Proverbs teaches us we should seek after wisdom like it is a hidden treasure. Wisdom is understanding a situation and knowing what to do. God is the source of all wisdom. We can learn from Him by seeking Him first and diligently studying His Word. We can trust His ways and apply what we learn from Him. Godâs wisdom protects us and helps us live life His way. Wisdom brings His blessings into our lives.
Solomon was Davidâs son but one day, many generations later, another Son would come from Davidâs family. God had promised that the Messiah would come through Davidâs line. Jesus fulfilled this promise! God made Solomon extremely wise, but Jesus is even wiser. During His earthly ministry, Jesus amazed people with His wisdom (Matthew 13:54). Jesus became our wisdom and all true wisdom is hidden in Him. We canât truly seek wisdom without first trusting in Jesus as our Savior.

Have you ever wondered if the Bible we read today was changed over time?
A: In 1947, a shepherd boy found some ancient scrolls by accident. These scrolls included parts of almost every book in the Bible. When researchers studied them, they saw they were just like the Bible
we have today. These are called the Dead Sea Scrolls. This shows us that the Bible hasnât changed and is full of wisdom we can trust!
Read Proverbs 30:5 directly from the Bible: Every word of God proves true.
Q: When your friends want advice or need help knowing what to do, where do they go to try to find answers?
A: What might be some challenges with using YouTube, social media, or the advice of others friends to try to help themselves?
There are a lot of âself-helpâ resources in our world today. There are thousands of books, videos, speakers, and more that are designed to help people make themselves better or solve their problems. Not all of those resources are bad. The danger comes when we trust in the worldâs wisdom instead of seeking Godâs wisdom first. Any advice we get from the world should be compared to
what the Bible says.
James 3:17 says: But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle,
open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. Remember, God is the source of all wisdom. If a video or a book says something different from what He says, it is not true wisdom.
