Proverbs 3:1-35
Review – continuing with our study on being wise
Proverbs 4:1-27
Desire to know God’s direction/wisdom on how to handle situations.
Make sure your thinking is ok with God.
What good is it to call yourself a Christian…
But never make a decision or actions based on what the Lord wants?
Base your feelings on faith…not the other way around.
Don’t be “draggy.” Have some pep in your step for God’s will.
How will you not “enter into the path of wickedness?” (reflection from crowd)
1 Corinthians 15:33
Be careful who you hang around with.
You can be deeply influenced by who you spend time with.
Make a positive influence – or get away.
Make sure to keep putting the Word in you – “perscriptures”
Keep your heart where it needs to be in the Lord. Don’t be distracted.
We are more vulnerable than we think sometimes. Be strong in the Lord.
Guarding your heart is for each of us – you know where your heart is sensitive.
Look at your emotions this week – are they consistent with a love for God?
Revelation 2:1-7
Make sure your heart is right. Make sure God is your first love.
Where are you going in Christ? Ponder your path…have a plan.
Don’t put yourself in a position where God is not first in your life.
