Title: Character is KeyTheme:  As we read through the various Proverbs, we cover topics on Money, Talk, Decisions, Parenting, Trust, Honesty...  At times it feels like there is no rhyme or reason to it - but as you look through the themes that are found, a common strand begins to stand out: Wisdom is focused on Character as Key - the instructions found in the book of Proverbs are less about curbing action, and more about shaping character.  God is concerned with the transformation of our hearts - not blind obedience.  As our character is shaped to look more and more like God's, so do our actions - quite naturally.  Where the heart is, a life will naturally follow.
