Slide 1: 3 things to know about wisdom Slide 2: Wisdom begins with fearing the Lord. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight." - Proverbs 9:10 Slide 3: Wisdom is to be actively sought out. "If you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God." - Proverbs 2:4-5 Slide 4: God gives wisdom generously. "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him." - James 1:5
Slide 1: Pride will cost you more than you think. Slide 2: Pride looks like: “I don’t need God for this.” “I already know.” “I can handle it on my own.” Slide 3: Pride slowly hardens the heart, resists correction, and pushes God’s wisdom aside. Slide 4: But choosing humility will help you listen, grow, and depend on God. Slide 5: Before pride leads to a fall, choose humility. God can do more with a surrendered heart.
Slide 1: Here’s some super simple advice from the Bible today. Slide 2: Watch your words. Proverbs 21:23. God gave a whole book of wisdom about the damage your mouth can do. Slide 3: Get enough rest. Psalm 127:2. God literally built rest into creation. Then had to remind us to actually do it. Slide 4: Don't overthink it. Proverbs 3:5-6. Trust God instead of leaning on your own understanding. We needed that in writing. Slide 5: Be a good neighbor. Matthew 22:39. Love your neighbor as yourself. Still the hardest thing on this list. Slide 6: Mind your own business. 1 Thessalonians 4:11. Yes. That is actually in the Bible. Word for word. Slide 7: Be grateful. 1 Thessalonians 5:18. In everything give thanks. Not for everything. In everything. There's a difference. Slide 8: God cares about your whole life. Not just the Sunday parts.
