A LIFE OF WISDOM
A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
IT’S A LIFE OF WISDOM
Proverbs 2:6-7 (NKJV)
WHERE DOES THIS WISDOM SHOW UP IN OUR LIVES?
1. In our silence
“Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; when he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive.” (Prov. 17:28)
The Bible says a wise person does what with their lips?
- Guard their lips
“He who guards his mouth preserves his life, but he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction.” (Prov. 13:3)
- Restrain their lips
“In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is wise.” (Prov. 10:19)
- Encourage with their lips
“Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.” (Eph. 4:29)
2. In our decisions
“And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he repeated them in the hearing of the Lord.” (1 Sam. 8:21)
3. In our values
“No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.” (Ps. 84:11)
