We conclude our series on WISDOM for this summer. We will take time to review the lessons we’ve learned and then look at TWO LAKES, which remind us of two kinds of people. The topic is a lifestyle of generosity, and the value of giving back.
We come to one of the most important principles in the Book of the Proverbs, and in the Bible: which path will you take? In this proverb, we learn of the ease, and apparent happiness that comes from the obvious path. However, there is a second less obvious, and less traveled path that brings to joy. Though most people vote for the difficult path, very few live it. It is easy to choose the one, and live the other. Today, we learn about both of them.
We continue our study of Proverbs by looking at a parent’s responsibility and privilege to discipline their children. From one verse, we see some wonderful principles that every parent can implement to be effective. And, we see every child’s proper response to that discipline!
We see two verses of Proverbs that we don’t know so well, even though they are next to two very famous Bible verses. Today’s study is about the qualities that will make you popular in the eyes of both God and man, and even though popularity is not our goal, there are spiritual purposes here. This study could help us make a difference in our world.
We begin a 5-part series from the Book of Proverbs and a renewed study of WISDOM. Last summer, we looked at five great proverbs, and this year, we look at five more. Today, as we focus on graduates, and those making a new start in life, it is good to remind ourselves what really matters in life. It is important to focus on a lifetime, and not just a moment, and to remember that wisdom will be the most important quality to shape your future.
