Text:
Proverbs 9:6-12 (NLT)
6 Leave your simple ways behind, and begin to live; learn to use good judgment."
7 Anyone who rebukes a mocker will get an insult in return. Anyone who corrects the wicked will get hurt.
8 So don't bother correcting mockers; they will only hate you. But correct the wise, and they will love you.
9 Instruct the wise, and they will be even wiser. Teach the righteous, and they will learn even more.
10 Fear of the LORD is the foundation of wisdom. Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment.
11 Wisdom will multiply your days and add years to your life.
12 If you become wise, you will be the one to benefit. If you scorn wisdom, you will be the one to suffer.
Observation:
It's amazing what you will hear when you take the time to listen to the voice of wisdom.
Notice this promise from the Book of Wisdom.
Proverbs 9:10 (NLT)
10 Fear of the LORD is the foundation of wisdom. Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment.
The God of the Bible, the creator of every living being, has a wonderful plan for your life. Notice what he said about one of his children, and when He said it.
Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT)
11 For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Is this the kind of life that you would like to have? The God who gave you life knows everything about you. There is nothing that is too difficult for the Lord.
Jeremiah 1:4-8 (NLT)
4 The LORD gave me this message:
5 "I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations."
6 "O Sovereign LORD," I said, "I can't speak for you! I'm too young!"
7 The LORD replied, "Don't say, 'I'm too young,' for you must go wherever I send you and say whatever I tell you.
8 And don't be afraid of the people, for I will be with you and will protect you. I, the LORD, have spoken!"
Prayer:
Matthew 6:9-13 (AMP)
9 Pray, therefore, like this: Our Father Who is in heaven, hallowed (kept holy) be Your name.
10 Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven (left, remitted, and let go of the debts, and have given up resentment against) our debtors.
13 And lead (bring) us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
