Proverbs 1:1-33
Proverbs makes you wise like God wants you to be wise.
Proverbs 2:1-22
Do your best to find wisdom…stay away from ‘bad’ women.
1 John 3:1-24
Give your best.
Proverbs 3:1-35
Don’t forget God’s Word.
The pressure shouldn’t always come from the outside.
Perfection comes from people who are self-motivated.
Where does the pressure come from in your life?
If your heart is into serving the Lord – you apply the pressure to yourself.
Psalms 73:1-28
Be careful when you look at the world with envy – thinking they have it made.
Don’t let a tough time cause you to stumble or distract others.
(back to Proverbs 3)
Where does your pressure come from?
Keep in mind that those who bring God’s words to you are doing a good thing.
Don’t be difficult – seek on your own to please the Lord.
When you live right in God you have rewards now and forever.
Be good to people. Have mercy. Do stuff for people.
Challenge: Find ways to be good. Go above the crowd.
And while being good – be for God. Let not truth forsake thee.
Being Christian is being active.
If it takes away from you – good.
Don’t let someone with alot less give alot more.
When you give and live like you are supposed to, God will notice – and so will others.
