Proverbs 1:1-33
If you don’t know something – you should read.
Search the Word of God for answers on how to live a Godly life.
Don’t hate knowledge or love simplicity concerning God’s way.
Seek the Lord while He may be found. Don’t wait for your deathbed.
If you put God second now, He may not be there when you call later.
Proverbs 2:1-22
Seek and apply the knowledge of God and you will be in good shape.
Don’t let a “strange woman” get you off track – warnings about that in Proverbs.
Proverbs 3:1-35
You can’t trust yourself to determine right from wrong. Let God’s Word tell you.
Would you say that God is directing your life? How so?
There is a difference between praying about something and doing what you want to do…
…and making decisions based on what pleases the Lord, and what He directs you to do.
Proverbs 4:1-27
“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.”
Sometimes the best thing to do is to leave. Some situations are best avoided.
1 Corinthians 15:33
Watch what you surround yourself with. People are influenced by what surrounds them.
(back to Proverbs 4)
What keeps you in good shape in Christ? Keep some Bible in you all the time.
Make sure that the things God has a problem with aren’t good with you.
James 1:26
Watch out for what comes out of your mouth. A bad mouth means bad religion.
Proverbs 6:16-35
There are some things that the Lord hates – know them, and don’t be them.
Another warning about women with “game.” Don’t let your bosom get burned.
Proverbs 9:1-18
Proverbs 10:1-32
Now that you have heard all of this Godly wisdom, what will you do with it?
Take these scriptures and knowledge, and let it guide you.
What Godly advise have you received lately? What did you do about it?
Make good decisions by trusting Godly principles…not your heart.
