Title: Wise People Take Advice

Scriptures: Proverbs 12:13 - 28

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

Have you ever wonder what wise people has?  What do they have that made them so wise?  You may think that they're wise because it's in their genes, you know he/she was born in the family of Doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc.  Or you may think that it's because their minds can easily memorize and remember all the things they learned and you're brain just happy to take in half of what you hear especially when it is not very interesting to you.  Well, today, God thru King Solomon tells us what wise people do that makes them wise - they take advice!  They listen to counsel and obey them.  That's key!  There's no one born in this world wise or intelligent who already has all the information he/she needs in life.  But the difference is, wise people listen and obey good counsel.  Fools are headstrong and do what they like but wise people, they are humble enough to listen to advice even if they already know so much.  So if you want to be wise...listen and follow good counsel my friend!

I also want to point out verse 24, because I feel like God is still addressing my concerns at work.  He said, The diligent find freedom in their work; the lazy are oppressed by work.  Now that made me think, am I wrong to feel pressured with the 3 jobs I have?  I should be getting freedom from my work if I work diligently.  Then maybe, that's what i need, to work more diligently with all my 3 jobs then I will receive freedom from them.  Thank You Lord!

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for a wonderful and amazing truth today.  Thank You for reminding me that wise people are wise because they listen to Your counsel.  Give me a humble mind and heart Lord to always listen to You and not be a fool who will do as I please.  Lord help me also to work diligently so I may find freedom in my work this time in my life.  Correct the error of my thinking and ways Lord that I may live in peace, joy and full satisfaction in You.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!

Memory Verse Share for today:

Proverbs 12:24 (The Message Version)

The diligent find freedom in their work; the lazy are oppressed by work.

Do you find yourself feeling oppressed with work?  There's only one solution - work diligently and you will find freedom in what you do.  What a powerful truth God has for us today.

Good morning!
