Topic: Foundation of Wisdom

Text: Proverbs 19:18-21

18Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.

19A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.

20Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

21There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.

Memory Verse: “Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end” (Proverbs 19:20).

Message

According to Isaac Asimov, “The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.” As Bible students, we all know that the fear of the LORD is the foundation of true wisdom because all who obey His commandments will grow in wisdom.

Unfortunately, wisdom seems to be on the wane these days because the present society tends to value that which is trendy, spectacular, and instantaneous and neglect wisdom, which is classic, unpretentious, and unhurried. Moreover, young people are entranced by their youthful audacity rather than the prudence of maturity. Yet, the human society desperately needs wisdom in our spiritual, secular, social, business, career, and academic pursuits. In fact, we all need wisdom each day: in our work, in our families, in our learning, and in our effort to be servants of Jesus Christ. As a young person, you need to know, not only how to do things, but also which of those things are right and will be fruitful. In Psalm 111:10, we are told that true wisdom emanates from the fear of the LORD.

QUOTE: We all need wisdom each day.

PRAYER: O Lord, I do need wisdom, Your wisdom.

CHALLENGE: They who are enticed by the world are not wise.

GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
