Delighting in God's Wisdom: A Study on the Book of Proverbs by Brenda Harris,Stacy Davis Pdf

Wisdom. We need it. We want it - but often look for it in all the wrong places.Every day our life circumstances dictate the need for wisdom. From the simple, everyday choices to the more complex and life changing - we need wisdom for successful decision-making. Challenging situations and relationships regularly come in life, often leaving us confused and needing guidance. We read self-help books and ask people for advice. We get educated in different ways or look online for help, yet often come up empty-handed. We need wisdom that isn't subjective or unproven. We need wisdom that leaves us hopeful and confident; alleviating fears and giving us peace. And yet, as we search for it in the world, we often find it lacking and confusing.Where do we find solid wisdom for navigating life's paths?Solomon will tell us in the book of Proverbs that wisdom begins with the fear of God. Setting our heart on God and trusting in Him is where wisdom begins. Out of that relationship comes a commitment to seek God, obey Him, and trust Him with all of life's choices. In God is found wisdom because He, alone, knows the beginning from the end. His wisdom goes beyond the seen to the unseen. He alone speaks wisdom into all of life's circumstances. The search is over for finding wisdom! Proverbs is the "how to" for life and it will lead you to the heart of God and His wisdom. It isn't a book of formulas. It is a life-giving book of Godly principles and priorities written by a king, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, who was the wisest man in the world. Solomon shares what he learned when he followed wisdom's path, and also what happened when he wandered off of it.As King Solomon will say in Proverbs 2:4-6, "If you seek her [wisdom] as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures; then you will understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding."Join us for this thirteen week study from the book of Proverbs as we gain God's wisdom to navigate all of life's challenges and honor Him with our decision-making. Throughout the study we will also be highlighting women of the Bible so that we may learn from both their wise and unwise decisions.

Feasting at Wisdom's Table by Joseph W. Cowan Pdf

Do you know the secret to access the most important thing a human being can possess? It cannot be purchased with gold or silver in a shop or department store or online. It is not found in the university or any other school established by mankind. It’s origin is not in the world of politics or government or in any human institution. It truly is a rare commodity among the people of the earth. It is where freedom, life, love, hope, faith, purity, truth, goodness, and peace abounds. Do you know about this greatest of all possessions? Do you know what it is? Wisdom leads you to it. Wisdom shows you where it is. Wisdom knows it. Are you listening to wisdom? She cries out daily to the children of mankind, and invites us to spend some time with her. She has a magnificent table set, and invites us to dine with her. She has something for us to discover. It is holy, and like His Name, it is incomprehensible. It is deeply personal and richly intimate. It gives substantial meaning to our existence.. It is our only salvation. It is an authentic relationship with the Personal God, who made the universe. Intimacy with the living God is what this book is about. It’s what Proverbs is about. Come to dinner and partake.

The gospel of Jesus Christ and the wisdom of Gods Word are timeless, and a provision of inspiring, living proverbs can encourage all believers to walk with the Lord on his path for their lives.

Wise by Reuben Bredenhof Pdf

How can we find our way through the complexities of life in the twenty-first century? Many Christians are familiar with the pointed directives of the Ten Commandments, and many will regularly read Proverbs for bite-sized pieces of God's wisdom. When we study Proverbs within the framework of the Ten Commandments, we hear both parts of God's Word speaking in ways that are refreshingly practical and eminently memorable. Wise shows how these ancient words relate to such diverse areas of life as worship and prayer, our words and money, marriage and sexuality, and our fears, loves, and desires. This book will instruct and encourage with the wisdom that comes from fearing God.
