People will be characterized by the decisions they make.
Christians have to make wise decisions based on God’s will for their lives.
Proverbs 1:1-33
Desire and seek to know what decisions God wants you to make.
God will let you know what to do – “give subtily to the simple…knowledge and discretion.”
Be a person who will hear good and wise, Godly instructions.
Don’t be lazy about reading and studing the Bible – seek to be wise.
Verse 7 – “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.”
You have to know God is God in order to learn how He wants you to live.
Don’t be a person who despises to know the right way in God.
Watch who you hang around with…a basic decision that can have large consequences.
Living for God isn’t difficult to figure out, but you have to make decisons to follow Christ.
Wisdom is looking to be found…make sure you want to find it.
If someone turns to the Lord, He will pour out His Spirit unto them.
Let the Lord make you strong, wise, and ready to make right decisions.
But if not, God will laugh when things fall apart on you. You can only play for so long.
God is not going to be used by you. We all have to be willing to be used by God.
God doesn’t save people for them to do their will (what pleases them), but to do what He desires.
Be careful not to take God for granted. He isn’t a car you can get in and go whenever and however you wish.
Don’t try to use God. Fear and respect the Lord…that’s the beginning of wisdom.
