Notes
Proverbs 16:32
God can give control to the soul and spirit. The angry spirit makes bad decisions.
God’s will and way should dictate what you do, always.
Christians want to work things out, not letting anger stay.
Especially if there is anger without cause. There are somethings that should not trip you out.
Coming to bible study is about trying to become better. It’s not about coming to sing and leaving to sin.
Philippians 4:4-7
Rejoice alway doesn’t leave room for mood swings.
Moderation – under control. Consistently trusting God.
All men should know that you are under control of God. There is no excuse to act foolish with certain people.
There are days that you hurt. But make sure that when you cry, you cry to God for strength.
Whatever you go through, be open to prayer and realize that you have something to thank God for.
Many people depart from God when problems come. They go back to reacting by their feelings.
God’s peace will come when you trust Him in your trials.
Proverbs 16:33
Casting lots – were used in making decisions. Trusting God to control the outcome.
God controls absolutely everything, even the things of “chance”. Not everything is an accident.
Sometimes we don’t get things because of God’s keeping and protecting us.
Romans 8:28
If you love God, everything is for your best. Every stop, every go, and every yield God works together for good.
This is true for those that love God.
Every gift is not a blessing. It rains on the just and the unjust.
What determines your future is loving God. God does have something better for you.
Don’t counsel everyone that everything will just work out.
If you don’t know that the person loves God, you can’t assure them unless they repent.
God seeks our best when we are our best for Him.
Proverbs 17:1
Just because there is a lot of stuff doesn’t mean the house is happy.
It is better to have a little in peace than to have riches without peace.
Some people would be a little more godly if they had less stuff/things.
You have to be thankful/content.
Always be thankful for God’s mercy.
