Proverbs 23:4-5

Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich. Be wise enough to know when to quit. In the blink of an eye wealth disappears, for it will sprout wings and fly away like an eagle.”

1. What are some ways you wear yourself out in the pursuit of money or success?

2. In your life, how do you know when it is time to quit pursuing certain things that are not producing good fruit?

3. What is one thing you want to pursue that has eternal value?

Proverbs 24:15-16

Don’t wait in ambush at the home of the godly, and don’t raid the house where the godly live. The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again. But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.”

1. Why would the godly be known for getting back up after falling?

2. When was a time that you spiritually “tripped” and got back up again? What happened?

3. What would help you increase your overall perseverance?
