As our children in America go to school, what we expect them to do? Learn, be obedient and respectful to their teachers and make good friends.
Most people if they are born in a Christian home, and in America, think they are God’s child. But that is not true. The Bible tells us that we “must be born again”. We are NOT a child of God until we accept His Son, Jesus, as our Savior.
Then, how much more should we as Christians become as children. God wants us to study His Word, be obedient to Him, respect our pastors and teachers and have fellowship with other believers. Are you His child?
Proverbs 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
These are 2 verses in the Bible that if you follow them, God will direct you in the path He has chosen for you.
Sometimes we do not understand where He is leading us but we can trust Him. He will lead us to a life of blessing. Maybe not an easy path but a path of obedience and blessing.
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. Acts 20:28
Keeping in mind that all Scripture is given by the inspiration of God, the Book of Proverbs is designed to make us contemplate the fear of God and living by His wisdom.
The word “proverb” means “to be like”. Proverbs is a book of comparisons between common, concrete images and life’s most profound truths. Proverbs are simple, moral statements or illustrations that highlight and teach fundamental realities about life.
Take time to read the book of Proverbs in the Bible to gain wisdom in your relationship to God, yourself and to others.
We all have a sin problem! What can we do about it?
First, get rid of all our sin by asking Jesus, who died, was buried and 3 days later arose, to forgive us and take away all of our sin, He paid the penalty for our sin.
After salvation we still have temptation and sin even thought our sin is forgiven, we want to live a pure and holy life. How?
By reading God’s Word daily. Memorize and hide His Word in our heart that we will not sin against our God.
Do not start your day without Bible reading and prayer.
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.Proverbs 30:5
The Bible is an amazing book! In it’s pages are answers to all of our life’s questions.
Where dis we come from? What am I supposed to do? Why are these things happening? Who can help in times of trouble?
These are questions we have all ask at one time in our lives. All the answers are in the Bible. God has a plan and a purpose for each of us. As we read His Word that plan becomes clear. It may not happen the first time you look for it, it may take time.
It may come in a part of the Bible you have read many times before, and then there it is! The answer. and we think why did I not see that before. Today, let us thank God for giving us the Bible,
A little humor for you today, with a lesson. It is important to read your Bible and communicate with God daily. He will give you direction, wisdom, and answers to life’s problems in His Word.
Psalms 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Do you have a problem that you do not know how to solve? You need wisdom in guidance to help you.
True wisdom can only be found in God’s word. A good place to start is in Proverbs. Proverbs has 31 chapters. Start the first of the month and you have a chapter a day.
The book of Proverbs will help you live the kind of life. God wants you to live. It will help you with relationships. It gives advice on how to be a good parent.
Tells you some of the pitfalls of life and how to avoid them. Advice on the kind of friends to choose.
Another thing you can do is look up wisdom in the Bible, and all the verses that have that word in them will come up and you can read what God has to say about His wisdom. Also, ask God to give you wisdom, and He will give it to you .
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15
On the SOS Events display board there is a question. “Are you 50%, 75% or 100% sure if you died today you would go to Heaven?
That is an important question, but what if you leave out the first line? It would read, If you died today you would go to Heaven.
What is the difference? The sentence that asked the question makes a person wonder if they know they will go to Heaven and makes them think about wanting to know how to get there.
Leave that out and the whole meaning changes. Now it is telling the person reading it that if they die they will go to Heaven.
Words make a difference. Change even one word and the meaning can change. Leave a word out and the meaning can change. Even rearranging words can change the meaning .
The Bible has many versions today. Some of these versions change words and even meanings of what God wants us to know.
Study for yourself and see what God wants to say to you.
This question was answered in the Bible when Sarah was told in her old age she was to have a child. Sarah laughed.
Sarah did have a child when she was 90 years old and her husband was 100. The child was named Isaac, which means laughter.
Is anything to hard for God? No. The story of Sarah should give us hope and assurance when we are going through things in our lives that seem impossible. Nothing is impossible with God.
