00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:29.980
 Thank you.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:59.980
 Thank you.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.000
 Thank you.

00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:08.739
 The Proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel.

00:01:08.739 --> 00:01:13.459
 For gaining wisdom and instruction.

00:01:14.259 --> 00:01:17.500
 For understanding words of insight.

00:01:18.759 --> 00:01:22.859
 For receiving instruction in prudent behavior.

00:01:23.679 --> 00:01:26.500
 Doing what is right and just and fair.

00:01:27.459 --> 00:01:30.339
 For giving prudence to those who are simple.

00:01:31.219 --> 00:01:33.619
 Knowledge and discretion to the young.

00:01:33.620 --> 00:01:39.320
 Let the wise listen and add to their learning.

00:01:40.700 --> 00:01:43.000
 And let the discerning get guidance.

00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:47.700
 For understanding Proverbs and parables.

00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:51.420
 The sayings and riddles of the wise.

00:01:51.420 --> 00:01:58.500
 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.

00:02:00.099 --> 00:02:04.420
 But fools despise wisdom and instruction.

00:02:04.420 --> 00:02:06.420
 Thank you.

00:02:06.420 --> 00:02:06.420


00:02:06.420 --> 00:02:07.420
 Thank you.

00:02:07.420 --> 00:02:08.420
 Thank you.

00:02:12.420 --> 00:02:13.420
 Thank you.

00:02:13.420 --> 00:02:14.060
 No, I don't hear.

00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:14.460
 That's fine.

00:02:14.699 --> 00:02:15.259
 I'm a stream, sir.

00:02:19.740 --> 00:02:21.159
 Well, good morning, everyone.

00:02:21.300 --> 00:02:22.180
 Nice to see you.

00:02:22.180 --> 00:02:29.159
 Please have your Bibles open there as we begin our new series in the book of Proverbs.

00:02:29.980 --> 00:02:35.280
 I'm looking forward to it because I've never taught from it before.

00:02:35.460 --> 00:02:39.819
 And I hope it will be encouraging and helpful for us all.

00:02:40.819 --> 00:02:41.760
 Need a drink?

00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:53.539
 Let's pray.

00:02:58.180 --> 00:03:00.959
 Father, thank you for your word.

00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:05.359
 For its truth and its wisdom.

00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:10.159
 We pray that you will be our teacher.

00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:15.900
 Father, so that we become wise, as you call us to be.

00:03:17.359 --> 00:03:17.960
 Amen.

00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:26.419
 Well, a few years back, some friends of mine, and we went off down to Kerry.

00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:28.900
 And we went walking the mountains.

00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:30.659
 And it was bad weather.

00:03:31.180 --> 00:03:36.400
 So we decided that we would take a professional guide with us.

00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:43.480
 And before we headed off, the guide gathered us around together and began to say,

00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.060
 Listen to my instructions.

00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:48.879
 Do what I say.

00:03:49.620 --> 00:03:54.680
 My job is to get you up and down the mountains safely.

00:03:54.680 --> 00:04:01.060
 Of course, as he spoke, and being a bunch of lads, everyone was joking and fooling about.

00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:03.040
 Everest, here we come.

00:04:04.379 --> 00:04:07.879
 And then he said something that got everyone's attention.

00:04:08.980 --> 00:04:11.280
 People have died up there.

00:04:11.980 --> 00:04:14.719
 And with that, he just marched off down the path.

00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:18.420
 So in that moment, we had a choice to make.

00:04:18.939 --> 00:04:21.399
 We had to decide, are we going to follow him?

00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:24.480
 Or are we going to go it alone?

00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:33.339
 Well, in a sense, we are all on a journey through life that it is fraught with danger.

00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:38.740
 Every day, we're faced with multiple choices and decisions.

00:04:38.740 --> 00:04:43.800
 What course am I going to take after my leaving cert?

00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:46.400
 Who am I going to marry?

00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:49.860
 What job will I apply for?

00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:52.240
 Where will I live?

00:04:53.379 --> 00:04:55.120
 How do I use my money?

00:04:56.500 --> 00:05:00.079
 What words will I say to that person?

00:05:01.379 --> 00:05:05.400
 How will I manage this difficult situation?

00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:08.079
 Make the right choice.

00:05:08.740 --> 00:05:12.199
 And life will be pleasant and good.

00:05:13.340 --> 00:05:15.600
 But if we make a wrong decision,

00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:20.660
 well, we know that life can end in misery.

00:05:21.740 --> 00:05:23.000
 So the question is,

00:05:23.379 --> 00:05:28.319
 how do we know what is the right choice or the right decision?

00:05:29.060 --> 00:05:32.019
 How do we navigate the journey of life

00:05:32.019 --> 00:05:35.180
 so that we do what is right?

00:05:35.180 --> 00:05:41.139
 Well, as if you've been listening to the songs and the teachings so far this morning,

00:05:41.699 --> 00:05:43.840
 we need wisdom.

00:05:45.540 --> 00:05:49.120
 And Proverbs is all about wisdom.

00:05:49.860 --> 00:05:55.120
 In fact, wisdom is our teacher who will guide us safely through life.

00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:56.660
 Look at verse 1,

00:05:56.660 --> 00:05:59.280
 the Proverbs of Solomon.

00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.019
 A proverb is a nugget of wisdom

00:06:03.019 --> 00:06:08.319
 to enable us to navigate all the twists and turns of life.

00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:11.099
 Have a look at chapter 13,

00:06:11.779 --> 00:06:13.519
 verse 14.

00:06:18.180 --> 00:06:21.219
 Chapter 13, verse 14.

00:06:21.220 --> 00:06:36.080
 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life

00:06:36.080 --> 00:06:40.980
 turning a person from the snares of death.

00:06:40.980 --> 00:06:45.060
 Or just go on a page further to chapter 15,

00:06:45.500 --> 00:06:46.800
 verse 24.

00:06:53.300 --> 00:06:57.700
 The path of life leads upward for the prudent

00:06:57.700 --> 00:07:03.080
 to keep them from going down to the realm of the dead.

00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:06.459
 Let's go back to chapter 1.

00:07:08.579 --> 00:07:12.699
 You see, wisdom is not just about making right and good choices.

00:07:13.339 --> 00:07:17.039
 It's the difference between life and death.

00:07:18.019 --> 00:07:20.379
 So, as we begin Proverbs,

00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:23.519
 we must let wisdom be our teacher.

00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:26.219
 One writer put it like this.

00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:32.599
 Wisdom will give you understanding of the world in which we live

00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:37.500
 and the skills to navigate through it.

00:07:38.220 --> 00:07:41.480
 It'll give us understanding of the world we live in

00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:45.280
 and the skills to navigate through it.

00:07:45.939 --> 00:07:49.140
 So, as we look at this first little introduction

00:07:49.140 --> 00:07:50.900
 to the book of Proverbs,

00:07:51.020 --> 00:07:53.080
 we're going to see three things.

00:07:53.200 --> 00:07:54.480
 The source of wisdom,

00:07:55.379 --> 00:07:56.900
 the purpose of wisdom,

00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:00.100
 and the experience of wisdom.

00:08:00.260 --> 00:08:01.040
 So, the source.

00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:03.060
 Where do we get wisdom?

00:08:03.220 --> 00:08:03.780
 The purpose.

00:08:04.220 --> 00:08:05.540
 Why do I need it?

00:08:06.100 --> 00:08:07.340
 And the experience.

00:08:07.939 --> 00:08:10.980
 How can I get wisdom for myself?

00:08:11.980 --> 00:08:15.080
 So, first, the source of wisdom.

00:08:16.620 --> 00:08:17.520
 Verse 1.

00:08:18.259 --> 00:08:20.000
 The Proverbs of Solomon,

00:08:20.700 --> 00:08:21.879
 son of David,

00:08:22.700 --> 00:08:23.540
 king of Israel.

00:08:24.660 --> 00:08:26.879
 Solomon, the author and writer,

00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:28.399
 has many Proverbs,

00:08:28.500 --> 00:08:30.319
 all the way through to chapter 31.

00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:34.460
 Many wise sayings that can teach us.

00:08:34.580 --> 00:08:37.840
 But where did he get his wisdom from?

00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:42.139
 Well, we know from reading the book

00:08:42.139 --> 00:08:43.899
 where he got it from.

00:08:44.059 --> 00:08:45.379
 So, look at chapter 4.

00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:47.179
 Verse 1.

00:08:49.220 --> 00:08:51.019
 He gathered his wisdom,

00:08:51.019 --> 00:08:52.139
 first of all,

00:08:52.139 --> 00:08:53.559
 from his parents.

00:08:54.319 --> 00:08:55.299
 Yes, children,

00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:57.500
 parents are wise.

00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:00.199
 Chapter 4, verse 1.

00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:04.699
 Listen, my sons,

00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:06.860
 to a father's instruction.

00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:09.199
 Verse 3.

00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:11.360
 For I, too,

00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:13.440
 was a son to my father,

00:09:13.540 --> 00:09:14.320
 still tender,

00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:16.680
 and cherished by my mother.

00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:19.660
 Then he taught me.

00:09:20.500 --> 00:09:22.420
 So, he gathered wisdom

00:09:22.420 --> 00:09:24.640
 from his parents as he grew up.

00:09:25.060 --> 00:09:27.660
 We also know that he got wisdom

00:09:27.660 --> 00:09:29.040
 from other places,

00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:30.120
 from other nations.

00:09:30.580 --> 00:09:32.420
 In chapter 22 to 24,

00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:34.060
 there's a collection

00:09:34.059 --> 00:09:35.699
 of sayings

00:09:35.699 --> 00:09:37.199
 of the wise.

00:09:38.299 --> 00:09:39.479
 And scholars point out

00:09:39.479 --> 00:09:40.500
 that these sayings

00:09:40.500 --> 00:09:41.299
 more than likely

00:09:41.299 --> 00:09:42.179
 came from

00:09:42.179 --> 00:09:44.019
 surrounding nations.

00:09:45.719 --> 00:09:47.759
 Not just his parents

00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:49.079
 or from different places,

00:09:49.419 --> 00:09:50.619
 but from different people.

00:09:50.739 --> 00:09:52.139
 At the very end of the book,

00:09:52.579 --> 00:09:54.219
 chapters 30 to 31,

00:09:54.219 --> 00:09:56.539
 we have some wisdom

00:09:56.539 --> 00:09:57.899
 from a man called

00:09:57.899 --> 00:09:58.779
 Agur

00:09:58.779 --> 00:10:01.099
 and a king called

00:10:01.099 --> 00:10:02.039
 Lemuel.

00:10:02.259 --> 00:10:03.479
 We don't know anything else

00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:04.019
 about them

00:10:04.019 --> 00:10:04.759
 other than what

00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:05.519
 they've written

00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:07.039
 in Proverbs.

00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:08.659
 So, it seems

00:10:08.659 --> 00:10:10.000
 as he goes through life,

00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:11.080
 he gathers wisdom

00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:12.039
 from his parents,

00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:13.440
 from other places,

00:10:13.800 --> 00:10:15.080
 and from different people.

00:10:15.300 --> 00:10:16.180
 But that's not

00:10:16.180 --> 00:10:17.340
 the only source.

00:10:18.700 --> 00:10:19.680
 Turn with me

00:10:19.680 --> 00:10:21.560
 to 1 Kings chapter 4.

00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:22.820
 1 Kings,

00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:24.139
 you have to go backwards

00:10:24.139 --> 00:10:25.019
 in your Bible.

00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:29.220
 1 Kings chapter 4.

00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:48.899
 Anybody have a page number?

00:10:51.019 --> 00:10:51.740
 339.

00:10:51.740 --> 00:10:56.720
 1 Kings chapter 4.

00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:58.580
 Page 339.

00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:00.700
 So, remember,

00:11:00.899 --> 00:11:02.080
 Solomon was king

00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:02.940
 of Israel

00:11:02.940 --> 00:11:04.500
 and at the beginning

00:11:04.500 --> 00:11:05.580
 of his kingship,

00:11:06.340 --> 00:11:07.240
 God came to him

00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:07.720
 and said,

00:11:08.300 --> 00:11:08.580
 Solomon,

00:11:08.779 --> 00:11:09.860
 ask for whatever

00:11:09.860 --> 00:11:10.800
 you want

00:11:10.800 --> 00:11:12.720
 and I will give it

00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:13.120
 to you.

00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:15.000
 And Solomon

00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:16.660
 asked for wisdom.

00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:18.759
 Now, look at

00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:19.620
 verse 29.

00:11:19.620 --> 00:11:19.820
 Verse 29.

00:11:19.820 --> 00:11:25.460
 God gave Solomon

00:11:25.460 --> 00:11:26.020
 wisdom

00:11:26.020 --> 00:11:27.400
 and very great

00:11:27.400 --> 00:11:28.060
 insight

00:11:28.060 --> 00:11:29.460
 and a breadth

00:11:29.460 --> 00:11:30.460
 of understanding

00:11:30.460 --> 00:11:31.620
 as measureless

00:11:31.620 --> 00:11:32.320
 as the sand

00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:33.340
 on the seashore.

00:11:34.540 --> 00:11:35.740
 Solomon's wisdom

00:11:35.740 --> 00:11:37.360
 was greater

00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:38.180
 than the wisdom

00:11:38.180 --> 00:11:39.840
 of all the people

00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:41.280
 of the east.

00:11:42.160 --> 00:11:43.020
 He was a living,

00:11:43.280 --> 00:11:44.720
 talking Wikipedia.

00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:47.400
 Look at the end

00:11:47.400 --> 00:11:47.920
 of verse,

00:11:48.040 --> 00:11:49.160
 look at verse 34.

00:11:49.820 --> 00:11:52.360
 From all nations,

00:11:52.760 --> 00:11:53.900
 people came to listen

00:11:53.900 --> 00:11:55.120
 to Solomon's wisdom,

00:11:55.800 --> 00:11:57.660
 sent by all the kings

00:11:57.660 --> 00:11:58.280
 of the world

00:11:58.280 --> 00:11:59.520
 who had heard

00:11:59.520 --> 00:12:01.480
 of his wisdom.

00:12:02.680 --> 00:12:04.100
 So, forget about

00:12:04.100 --> 00:12:05.379
 asking Siri.

00:12:06.420 --> 00:12:07.440
 Ask Solomon.

00:12:08.260 --> 00:12:09.800
 He will have the answer.

00:12:10.460 --> 00:12:11.180
 Let's go back

00:12:11.180 --> 00:12:11.980
 to Proverbs.

00:12:12.540 --> 00:12:12.860
 You see,

00:12:13.020 --> 00:12:14.520
 Solomon is telling us

00:12:14.520 --> 00:12:16.260
 that the ultimate

00:12:16.260 --> 00:12:17.740
 source of wisdom

00:12:17.740 --> 00:12:20.720
 wisdom is God.

00:12:21.500 --> 00:12:22.000
 Yes,

00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:23.139
 parents have wisdom,

00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:24.759
 nations have wisdom,

00:12:25.100 --> 00:12:25.820
 other religions

00:12:25.820 --> 00:12:26.639
 have wisdom.

00:12:27.060 --> 00:12:28.500
 We can find wisdom

00:12:28.500 --> 00:12:29.960
 in all kinds of places

00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:30.620
 and people,

00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:32.279
 but the source

00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:32.899
 of wisdom

00:12:32.899 --> 00:12:34.659
 is God.

00:12:35.460 --> 00:12:36.960
 All truth

00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:39.440
 is God's truth

00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:40.580
 because God

00:12:40.580 --> 00:12:41.440
 is the creator

00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:42.200
 of the universe

00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:43.980
 and he is the one

00:12:43.980 --> 00:12:45.540
 who is the source

00:12:45.540 --> 00:12:47.080
 of all truth.

00:12:48.340 --> 00:12:50.020
 Go to your grocery stores

00:12:50.020 --> 00:12:50.580
 today,

00:12:51.280 --> 00:12:52.040
 pick up an item

00:12:52.040 --> 00:12:52.640
 of food

00:12:52.640 --> 00:12:53.640
 and you'll see

00:12:53.640 --> 00:12:54.460
 that they're very

00:12:54.460 --> 00:12:55.220
 concerned about

00:12:55.220 --> 00:12:56.080
 the origin

00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:57.420
 of the food

00:12:57.420 --> 00:12:58.100
 they sell.

00:12:58.520 --> 00:13:00.160
 It must be traceable.

00:13:00.580 --> 00:13:01.300
 You need to know

00:13:01.300 --> 00:13:02.280
 where it comes from.

00:13:02.640 --> 00:13:02.820
 Well,

00:13:02.980 --> 00:13:03.960
 all truth

00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:05.800
 has a sticker

00:13:05.800 --> 00:13:07.180
 and a label

00:13:07.180 --> 00:13:07.620
 on it

00:13:07.620 --> 00:13:08.160
 and it says

00:13:08.160 --> 00:13:08.900
 its origin

00:13:08.899 --> 00:13:10.679
 is God.

00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:12.299
 All wisdom

00:13:12.299 --> 00:13:13.699
 can be traced

00:13:13.699 --> 00:13:15.159
 back to God.

00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:16.959
 So Proverbs

00:13:16.959 --> 00:13:17.819
 chapter 2

00:13:17.819 --> 00:13:18.720
 verse 6

00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.019
 tells us

00:13:22.019 --> 00:13:23.480
 for the Lord

00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:24.840
 gives wisdom

00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:27.179
 and from his mouth

00:13:27.179 --> 00:13:28.379
 come understanding

00:13:28.379 --> 00:13:30.740
 and knowledge.

00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:32.799
 That's the message

00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:33.720
 of the Bible.

00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:35.299
 That wisdom

00:13:35.299 --> 00:13:36.500
 comes from God.

00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:38.079
 So in the New Testament,

00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:39.020
 the writer

00:13:39.020 --> 00:13:40.220
 James

00:13:40.220 --> 00:13:41.220
 tells us

00:13:41.220 --> 00:13:43.160
 if any of you

00:13:43.160 --> 00:13:44.440
 lacks wisdom

00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:46.900
 you should ask

00:13:46.900 --> 00:13:47.980
 God

00:13:47.980 --> 00:13:50.420
 who gives generously.

00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:52.200
 Need wisdom

00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:53.080
 over decisions?

00:13:53.920 --> 00:13:55.240
 Just pray out

00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:56.160
 and call out

00:13:56.160 --> 00:13:57.259
 to God.

00:13:58.379 --> 00:13:59.160
 So first,

00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:01.060
 God is the source

00:14:01.060 --> 00:14:02.820
 of all wisdom

00:14:02.820 --> 00:14:04.460
 and truth.

00:14:05.400 --> 00:14:06.040
 Second,

00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:06.899
 the purpose

00:14:06.899 --> 00:14:08.120
 of wisdom.

00:14:08.439 --> 00:14:09.360
 Why do we need it?

00:14:09.439 --> 00:14:09.659
 Well,

00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:10.980
 we need wisdom

00:14:10.980 --> 00:14:11.879
 because we need

00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:12.939
 to be wise

00:14:12.939 --> 00:14:14.319
 to help us

00:14:14.319 --> 00:14:15.120
 make the right

00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:16.099
 kinds of choices

00:14:16.099 --> 00:14:18.039
 that lead to life

00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:19.719
 rather than death.

00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:21.659
 If we look

00:14:21.659 --> 00:14:22.500
 at our introduction

00:14:22.500 --> 00:14:24.039
 verses 2 to 6,

00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:25.500
 we'll see there

00:14:25.500 --> 00:14:26.139
 that wisdom

00:14:26.139 --> 00:14:26.980
 teaches us

00:14:26.980 --> 00:14:28.639
 five core truths

00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:29.719
 that will come

00:14:29.719 --> 00:14:30.379
 again

00:14:30.379 --> 00:14:31.039
 and again

00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:31.500
 and again

00:14:31.500 --> 00:14:32.219
 as we read

00:14:32.219 --> 00:14:33.099
 through the book

00:14:33.100 --> 00:14:34.440
 of Proverbs.

00:14:35.379 --> 00:14:36.620
 The first one,

00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:39.460
 wisdom teaches us

00:14:39.460 --> 00:14:41.100
 what is right.

00:14:41.779 --> 00:14:42.379
 Verse 2.

00:14:43.040 --> 00:14:44.040
 It's for gaining

00:14:44.040 --> 00:14:44.720
 wisdom

00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:45.639
 and instruction,

00:14:46.040 --> 00:14:47.379
 for understanding

00:14:47.379 --> 00:14:48.840
 words of insight.

00:14:50.060 --> 00:14:50.320
 Now,

00:14:50.420 --> 00:14:50.980
 if you are

00:14:50.980 --> 00:14:52.000
 insightful,

00:14:52.560 --> 00:14:53.120
 it means

00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:53.860
 you can see

00:14:53.860 --> 00:14:54.800
 the whole

00:14:54.800 --> 00:14:56.300
 big picture.

00:14:56.920 --> 00:14:58.000
 You don't just see it

00:14:58.000 --> 00:14:58.879
 from one angle,

00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:00.040
 but you can see it

00:15:00.040 --> 00:15:01.040
 from many angles.

00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:03.019
 What's the real issue

00:15:03.019 --> 00:15:05.379
 behind all the detail?

00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:07.039
 It enables us

00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:07.819
 to grasp

00:15:07.819 --> 00:15:08.939
 what is best

00:15:08.939 --> 00:15:09.839
 and what is

00:15:09.839 --> 00:15:10.719
 the right course

00:15:10.719 --> 00:15:11.559
 of action.

00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:13.699
 Wisdom teaches us

00:15:13.699 --> 00:15:14.679
 what is right.

00:15:15.860 --> 00:15:17.439
 It also teaches us

00:15:17.439 --> 00:15:19.099
 how to live.

00:15:19.659 --> 00:15:20.319
 Verse 3.

00:15:21.500 --> 00:15:22.419
 It's for receiving

00:15:22.419 --> 00:15:23.299
 instruction

00:15:23.299 --> 00:15:24.919
 in prudent

00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:25.639
 behaviour.

00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:29.759
 wisdom

00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:31.100
 instructs us

00:15:31.100 --> 00:15:32.340
 about how

00:15:32.340 --> 00:15:33.259
 we should live.

00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:34.639
 Not just

00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:35.580
 knowing in our

00:15:35.580 --> 00:15:36.039
 heads

00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:36.860
 lots of

00:15:36.860 --> 00:15:37.460
 information

00:15:37.460 --> 00:15:38.259
 about right

00:15:38.259 --> 00:15:38.779
 things,

00:15:39.179 --> 00:15:39.819
 but knowing

00:15:39.819 --> 00:15:41.080
 how to apply

00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:42.319
 that information

00:15:42.319 --> 00:15:43.840
 as it says

00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:44.319
 at the end

00:15:44.319 --> 00:15:44.939
 of verse 3

00:15:44.939 --> 00:15:45.559
 so that we

00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:46.059
 can do

00:15:46.059 --> 00:15:46.539
 what is

00:15:46.539 --> 00:15:47.220
 right

00:15:47.220 --> 00:15:48.860
 and just

00:15:48.860 --> 00:15:50.639
 and fair.

00:15:52.139 --> 00:15:52.759
 Wisdom

00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:53.559
 also teaches

00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:54.360
 us thirdly

00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:55.659
 who I

00:15:55.659 --> 00:15:56.340
 am.

00:15:58.620 --> 00:15:59.779
 Verse 4.

00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:01.320
 It's for giving

00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:02.100
 prudence

00:16:02.100 --> 00:16:02.680
 to those

00:16:02.680 --> 00:16:03.159
 who are

00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:04.019
 simple,

00:16:04.940 --> 00:16:05.460
 knowledge

00:16:05.460 --> 00:16:06.340
 and discretion

00:16:06.340 --> 00:16:07.000
 to the

00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:07.419
 young.

00:16:08.419 --> 00:16:09.300
 Now the

00:16:09.300 --> 00:16:09.879
 simple

00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:10.620
 and the

00:16:10.620 --> 00:16:10.899
 young

00:16:10.899 --> 00:16:11.300
 are not

00:16:11.300 --> 00:16:11.940
 two different

00:16:11.940 --> 00:16:12.480
 people.

00:16:12.860 --> 00:16:13.320
 When we

00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:14.200
 read poetry

00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:15.539
 and literature

00:16:15.539 --> 00:16:16.620
 like proverbs,

00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:17.740
 the second

00:16:17.740 --> 00:16:18.460
 half of the

00:16:18.460 --> 00:16:18.940
 sentence

00:16:18.940 --> 00:16:20.180
 often help

00:16:20.180 --> 00:16:20.860
 expand

00:16:20.860 --> 00:16:21.820
 and give

00:16:21.820 --> 00:16:22.320
 insight

00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:22.779
 for the

00:16:22.779 --> 00:16:23.460
 first part

00:16:23.460 --> 00:16:23.759
 of the

00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:24.080
 sentence.

00:16:24.340 --> 00:16:25.320
 So simple

00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:25.840
 and young

00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:26.200
 are the

00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:26.680
 same

00:16:26.680 --> 00:16:27.379
 person.

00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:28.639
 And we're

00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:29.100
 given a

00:16:29.100 --> 00:16:29.680
 definition

00:16:29.680 --> 00:16:30.220
 of who

00:16:30.220 --> 00:16:30.460
 the

00:16:30.460 --> 00:16:30.780
 simple

00:16:30.780 --> 00:16:31.160
 are.

00:16:31.560 --> 00:16:31.860
 If you

00:16:31.860 --> 00:16:32.300
 look down

00:16:32.300 --> 00:16:32.600
 at the

00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:32.840
 bottom

00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:33.200
 of your

00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:33.639
 Bible,

00:16:34.220 --> 00:16:34.620
 there's a

00:16:34.620 --> 00:16:34.820
 little

00:16:34.820 --> 00:16:35.440
 note.

00:16:37.580 --> 00:16:38.180
 It says

00:16:38.180 --> 00:16:38.759
 something like

00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:39.000
 this,

00:16:39.060 --> 00:16:39.600
 the Hebrew

00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:40.540
 word rendered

00:16:40.540 --> 00:16:41.480
 simple in

00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:42.180
 proverbs

00:16:42.180 --> 00:16:43.980
 denotes a

00:16:43.980 --> 00:16:44.620
 person who

00:16:44.620 --> 00:16:45.639
 is gullible,

00:16:46.580 --> 00:16:47.360
 without

00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:48.879
 moral direction,

00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:51.460
 and inclined

00:16:51.460 --> 00:16:52.600
 to evil.

00:16:55.019 --> 00:16:55.700
 Wisdom

00:16:55.700 --> 00:16:56.920
 is teaching

00:16:56.920 --> 00:16:57.460
 us, is

00:16:57.460 --> 00:16:58.320
 telling us

00:16:58.320 --> 00:16:59.759
 that we

00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:00.500
 are all

00:17:00.500 --> 00:17:01.580
 simple.

00:17:02.820 --> 00:17:03.259
 Well, that's

00:17:03.259 --> 00:17:04.079
 pretty offensive,

00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:04.840
 isn't it?

00:17:05.600 --> 00:17:06.420
 That we

00:17:06.420 --> 00:17:07.160
 choose our

00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:07.960
 own ways

00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:08.620
 in life,

00:17:08.980 --> 00:17:09.720
 we choose

00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:10.340
 what we

00:17:10.340 --> 00:17:10.980
 think is

00:17:10.980 --> 00:17:11.440
 right.

00:17:13.539 --> 00:17:14.360
 None of

00:17:14.360 --> 00:17:15.579
 us have

00:17:15.579 --> 00:17:16.259
 been born

00:17:16.259 --> 00:17:16.880
 wise.

00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:17.559
 In fact,

00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:18.000
 the other,

00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:18.779
 as we read

00:17:18.779 --> 00:17:19.279
 through the

00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:19.480
 book,

00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:20.200
 we'll discover

00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:20.840
 that we're

00:17:20.840 --> 00:17:21.920
 inclined to

00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:23.600
 foolishness.

00:17:24.900 --> 00:17:25.059
 So,

00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:26.080
 chapter 9

00:17:26.080 --> 00:17:27.160
 and verse

00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:28.160
 6 tells

00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:28.759
 us,

00:17:30.600 --> 00:17:31.460
 leave your

00:17:31.460 --> 00:17:32.660
 simple ways

00:17:32.660 --> 00:17:34.000
 and you

00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:34.700
 will live.

00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:36.200
 Walk in

00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:36.759
 the way

00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:38.360
 of insight.

00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:40.860
 So,

00:17:40.940 --> 00:17:41.600
 wisdom is a

00:17:41.600 --> 00:17:42.440
 great teacher.

00:17:43.140 --> 00:17:43.700
 It also

00:17:43.700 --> 00:17:44.460
 teaches us,

00:17:44.620 --> 00:17:45.000
 fourthly,

00:17:45.340 --> 00:17:45.980
 what we

00:17:45.980 --> 00:17:47.620
 need in

00:17:47.620 --> 00:17:48.120
 life.

00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:49.079
 what we

00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:49.659
 need.

00:17:50.379 --> 00:17:50.639
 So,

00:17:50.719 --> 00:17:51.279
 chapter 1

00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:52.119
 verse 5.

00:17:53.639 --> 00:17:54.059
 Let the

00:17:54.059 --> 00:17:55.159
 wise listen

00:17:55.159 --> 00:17:55.679
 and add

00:17:55.679 --> 00:17:56.039
 to their

00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:57.299
 learning and

00:17:57.299 --> 00:17:57.719
 let the

00:17:57.719 --> 00:17:58.500
 discerning

00:17:58.500 --> 00:17:59.079
 get

00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:00.279
 guidance.

00:18:01.139 --> 00:18:01.519
 You see,

00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:02.099
 wisdom is

00:18:02.099 --> 00:18:02.500
 not a

00:18:02.500 --> 00:18:03.379
 quick fix.

00:18:04.139 --> 00:18:04.559
 It's not

00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:05.000
 like we

00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:05.659
 sign up

00:18:05.659 --> 00:18:06.039
 to a

00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:06.639
 course and

00:18:06.639 --> 00:18:06.899
 we

00:18:06.899 --> 00:18:08.099
 graduate in

00:18:08.099 --> 00:18:08.379
 wisdom.

00:18:08.539 --> 00:18:08.819
 It's not

00:18:08.819 --> 00:18:09.599
 like come

00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:10.139
 along on

00:18:10.139 --> 00:18:10.439
 Sunday

00:18:10.439 --> 00:18:11.599
 morning and

00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:12.079
 listen to

00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:12.439
 a few

00:18:12.439 --> 00:18:13.579
 sermons and

00:18:13.579 --> 00:18:14.079
 go away

00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:14.479
 with your

00:18:14.479 --> 00:18:15.059
 certificate,

00:18:15.059 --> 00:18:16.099
 I'm

00:18:16.099 --> 00:18:16.740
 wise.

00:18:18.179 --> 00:18:18.419
 Now,

00:18:18.500 --> 00:18:19.200
 wisdom says

00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:20.799
 add to

00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:21.019
 your

00:18:21.019 --> 00:18:21.460
 learning.

00:18:22.099 --> 00:18:22.339
 So,

00:18:22.419 --> 00:18:22.679
 when you've

00:18:22.679 --> 00:18:22.980
 got a

00:18:22.980 --> 00:18:23.539
 bit of

00:18:23.539 --> 00:18:23.940
 wisdom,

00:18:24.379 --> 00:18:24.980
 learn a

00:18:24.980 --> 00:18:25.359
 little bit

00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:25.819
 more and

00:18:25.819 --> 00:18:26.039
 you will

00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:26.480
 have more

00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:26.859
 wisdom.

00:18:27.259 --> 00:18:27.519
 And when

00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:27.899
 you've done

00:18:27.899 --> 00:18:28.139
 that,

00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:28.599
 go and

00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:29.099
 learn some

00:18:29.099 --> 00:18:29.639
 more and

00:18:29.639 --> 00:18:29.899
 you will

00:18:29.899 --> 00:18:30.359
 have more

00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:30.799
 wisdom.

00:18:34.220 --> 00:18:35.039
 It also

00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:35.839
 tells us,

00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:36.399
 fifthly,

00:18:37.399 --> 00:18:38.220
 how to

00:18:38.220 --> 00:18:38.779
 mature.

00:18:39.879 --> 00:18:40.460
 Verse 6.

00:18:40.619 --> 00:18:40.960
 Wisdom

00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:41.899
 teaches us

00:18:41.900 --> 00:18:43.500
 understanding

00:18:43.500 --> 00:18:45.019
 for

00:18:45.019 --> 00:18:45.780
 proverbs

00:18:45.780 --> 00:18:46.540
 and

00:18:46.540 --> 00:18:47.240
 parables,

00:18:48.420 --> 00:18:48.600
 the

00:18:48.600 --> 00:18:49.440
 sayings

00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:50.320
 and

00:18:50.320 --> 00:18:50.740
 riddles

00:18:50.740 --> 00:18:51.100
 of the

00:18:51.100 --> 00:18:51.640
 wise.

00:18:52.560 --> 00:18:52.860
 You see,

00:18:52.980 --> 00:18:53.680
 wisdom comes

00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:54.280
 in all

00:18:54.280 --> 00:18:55.060
 shapes and

00:18:55.060 --> 00:18:55.500
 sizes.

00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:56.340
 It comes

00:18:56.340 --> 00:18:57.100
 in proverbs,

00:18:57.259 --> 00:18:58.519
 that distilled

00:18:58.519 --> 00:18:59.660
 word of

00:18:59.660 --> 00:19:00.180
 truth.

00:19:01.300 --> 00:19:01.820
 It comes

00:19:01.820 --> 00:19:02.180
 as a

00:19:02.180 --> 00:19:02.620
 parable,

00:19:03.100 --> 00:19:04.060
 stories which

00:19:04.060 --> 00:19:04.820
 contain a

00:19:04.820 --> 00:19:05.780
 truth with

00:19:05.780 --> 00:19:06.680
 an application

00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:07.300
 to our

00:19:07.300 --> 00:19:08.480
 lives within

00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:09.320
 the story.

00:19:10.360 --> 00:19:10.700
 Or

00:19:10.700 --> 00:19:11.400
 sayings,

00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:12.220
 short

00:19:12.220 --> 00:19:13.120
 comments on

00:19:13.120 --> 00:19:14.120
 life or

00:19:14.120 --> 00:19:14.620
 riddles,

00:19:15.040 --> 00:19:15.640
 truths that

00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:16.180
 we need to

00:19:16.180 --> 00:19:16.840
 think about

00:19:16.840 --> 00:19:17.740
 deeply to

00:19:17.740 --> 00:19:18.300
 be able to

00:19:18.300 --> 00:19:18.700
 get the

00:19:18.700 --> 00:19:19.040
 meaning.

00:19:20.320 --> 00:19:20.780
 So we

00:19:20.780 --> 00:19:21.240
 don't just

00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:22.019
 add

00:19:22.019 --> 00:19:22.860
 wisdom,

00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:24.940
 we develop

00:19:24.940 --> 00:19:25.680
 ways of

00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:26.360
 learning.

00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:27.320
 We use

00:19:27.320 --> 00:19:28.320
 all means

00:19:28.320 --> 00:19:29.860
 possible to

00:19:29.860 --> 00:19:30.540
 make us

00:19:30.540 --> 00:19:31.740
 wise.

00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:33.560
 You see,

00:19:33.700 --> 00:19:34.360
 wisdom is

00:19:34.360 --> 00:19:35.500
 our teacher.

00:19:37.180 --> 00:19:37.580
 But did

00:19:37.580 --> 00:19:38.140
 you notice

00:19:38.140 --> 00:19:39.360
 how we

00:19:39.360 --> 00:19:40.060
 are taught?

00:19:40.059 --> 00:19:41.059
 wisdom

00:19:41.059 --> 00:19:42.059
 is

00:19:42.059 --> 00:19:42.059


00:19:42.059 --> 00:19:42.059


00:19:42.059 --> 00:19:43.059
 God's

00:19:43.059 --> 00:19:43.940
 word.

00:19:43.940 --> 00:19:44.700
 Verse 2,

00:19:44.700 --> 00:19:45.000
 understanding

00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:46.759
 words of

00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:47.419
 insight.

00:19:48.059 --> 00:19:48.980
 Or verse 5,

00:19:49.379 --> 00:19:50.019
 listening to

00:19:50.019 --> 00:19:50.940
 the words

00:19:50.940 --> 00:19:51.779
 of the

00:19:51.779 --> 00:19:52.259
 wise.

00:19:52.700 --> 00:19:53.119
 Wisdom

00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:54.399
 comes from

00:19:54.399 --> 00:19:54.759
 God,

00:19:54.859 --> 00:19:55.119
 but it

00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:55.819
 comes through

00:19:55.819 --> 00:19:57.000
 his word.

00:19:57.419 --> 00:19:57.980
 Proverbs,

00:19:58.480 --> 00:19:58.980
 parables,

00:19:59.240 --> 00:19:59.720
 sayings,

00:19:59.879 --> 00:20:00.679
 riddles are

00:20:00.679 --> 00:20:01.639
 all communicated

00:20:01.639 --> 00:20:02.700
 by his word.

00:20:03.139 --> 00:20:03.859
 So wisdom

00:20:03.859 --> 00:20:04.659
 is found

00:20:04.660 --> 00:20:07.019
 in God's

00:20:07.019 --> 00:20:07.980
 word.

00:20:09.980 --> 00:20:10.620
 Without

00:20:10.620 --> 00:20:11.300
 God's

00:20:11.300 --> 00:20:11.980
 word,

00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:12.779
 we would

00:20:12.779 --> 00:20:13.320
 have no

00:20:13.320 --> 00:20:14.040
 understanding,

00:20:14.300 --> 00:20:15.060
 no insight,

00:20:15.740 --> 00:20:16.320
 and no

00:20:16.320 --> 00:20:17.040
 guidance.

00:20:18.120 --> 00:20:19.100
 So it

00:20:19.100 --> 00:20:19.540
 begs the

00:20:19.540 --> 00:20:20.019
 question,

00:20:20.460 --> 00:20:21.120
 how often

00:20:21.120 --> 00:20:21.880
 are we

00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:23.300
 reading

00:20:23.300 --> 00:20:24.480
 God's

00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:25.019
 word

00:20:25.019 --> 00:20:26.220
 so that

00:20:26.220 --> 00:20:26.580
 we can

00:20:26.580 --> 00:20:27.380
 be wise?

00:20:28.380 --> 00:20:28.820
 You see,

00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:29.420
 living

00:20:29.420 --> 00:20:30.360
 without

00:20:30.360 --> 00:20:31.180
 the word

00:20:31.180 --> 00:20:32.360
 would be

00:20:32.360 --> 00:20:32.940
 like trying

00:20:32.940 --> 00:20:33.340
 to put

00:20:33.340 --> 00:20:33.680
 up an

00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:34.160
 Ikea

00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:34.840
 wardrobe

00:20:34.840 --> 00:20:36.220
 without

00:20:36.220 --> 00:20:37.100
 the words

00:20:37.100 --> 00:20:37.299
 of

00:20:37.299 --> 00:20:38.019
 instructions.

00:20:39.140 --> 00:20:39.560
 I've

00:20:39.560 --> 00:20:39.980
 tried to

00:20:39.980 --> 00:20:40.400
 do it.

00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:41.240
 It's not

00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:41.940
 very helpful.

00:20:43.560 --> 00:20:43.880
 It would

00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:44.259
 be like

00:20:44.259 --> 00:20:44.779
 trying to

00:20:44.779 --> 00:20:45.140
 get to

00:20:45.140 --> 00:20:45.860
 a restaurant

00:20:45.860 --> 00:20:47.039
 that you've

00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:47.640
 never been

00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:48.500
 to before

00:20:48.500 --> 00:20:49.299
 without

00:20:49.299 --> 00:20:50.539
 the words

00:20:50.539 --> 00:20:51.680
 of Google

00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:52.240
 Maps

00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:52.940
 telling you

00:20:52.940 --> 00:20:53.400
 where to

00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:54.400
 get to

00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:55.460
 your

00:20:55.460 --> 00:20:56.279
 destination.

00:20:57.960 --> 00:20:58.560
 God's

00:20:58.560 --> 00:20:59.180
 word

00:20:59.180 --> 00:21:00.460
 will make

00:21:00.460 --> 00:21:01.240
 you wise.

00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:03.240
 Now,

00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:03.660
 God's

00:21:03.660 --> 00:21:04.259
 word is

00:21:04.259 --> 00:21:04.759
 good and

00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:05.200
 beautiful.

00:21:05.400 --> 00:21:05.759
 They're not

00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:06.880
 harsh words.

00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:07.559
 They're not

00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:08.240
 just a bunch

00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:08.799
 of rules

00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:09.819
 to corral us

00:21:09.819 --> 00:21:10.700
 into some

00:21:10.700 --> 00:21:11.259
 kind of

00:21:11.259 --> 00:21:12.220
 order or

00:21:12.220 --> 00:21:12.779
 some kind

00:21:12.779 --> 00:21:13.340
 of test

00:21:13.340 --> 00:21:13.700
 that we

00:21:13.700 --> 00:21:14.079
 have to

00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:14.480
 pass.

00:21:14.900 --> 00:21:15.079
 No,

00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:15.640
 God's

00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:16.140
 word is

00:21:16.140 --> 00:21:17.079
 wise.

00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:19.039
 It's

00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:19.579
 there for

00:21:19.579 --> 00:21:20.400
 our benefit.

00:21:21.779 --> 00:21:22.140
 One

00:21:22.140 --> 00:21:22.700
 author put

00:21:22.700 --> 00:21:23.100
 it like

00:21:23.100 --> 00:21:23.579
 this.

00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:26.019
 Proverbs

00:21:26.019 --> 00:21:27.100
 is practical

00:21:27.100 --> 00:21:27.799
 help

00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:28.900
 from

00:21:28.900 --> 00:21:29.500
 God

00:21:29.500 --> 00:21:30.859
 for weak

00:21:30.859 --> 00:21:31.640
 people like

00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:32.000
 us

00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:32.700
 stumbling

00:21:32.700 --> 00:21:33.119
 through

00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:33.519
 daily

00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:34.019
 life.

00:21:35.019 --> 00:21:35.299
 It is

00:21:35.299 --> 00:21:36.140
 his counsel

00:21:36.140 --> 00:21:36.599
 for the

00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:37.559
 perplexed,

00:21:37.740 --> 00:21:38.900
 his strength

00:21:38.900 --> 00:21:39.319
 for the

00:21:39.319 --> 00:21:39.779
 defeated,

00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:41.619
 his warning

00:21:41.619 --> 00:21:42.140
 to the

00:21:42.140 --> 00:21:42.720
 proud,

00:21:43.559 --> 00:21:44.619
 his mercy

00:21:44.619 --> 00:21:45.740
 for the

00:21:45.740 --> 00:21:46.160
 broken.

00:21:47.660 --> 00:21:48.279
 God's

00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:48.700
 word is

00:21:48.700 --> 00:21:49.299
 good.

00:21:50.579 --> 00:21:51.119
 So we

00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:51.299
 could

00:21:51.299 --> 00:21:51.819
 summarize

00:21:51.819 --> 00:21:53.079
 wisdom

00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:54.480
 like this.

00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:57.079
 God's

00:21:57.079 --> 00:21:57.539
 word

00:21:57.539 --> 00:21:59.140
 to live

00:21:59.140 --> 00:21:59.819
 God's

00:21:59.819 --> 00:22:00.299
 way

00:22:00.299 --> 00:22:01.700
 in

00:22:01.700 --> 00:22:02.440
 God's

00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:03.400
 world.

00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:05.200
 You

00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:05.380
 see,

00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:06.099
 we all

00:22:06.099 --> 00:22:06.759
 need

00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:07.599
 the

00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:08.039
 wisdom

00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:08.799
 of God's

00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:09.120
 word.

00:22:10.059 --> 00:22:10.740
 So we

00:22:10.740 --> 00:22:11.120
 see the

00:22:11.120 --> 00:22:11.700
 source,

00:22:11.900 --> 00:22:12.240
 we see

00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:12.460
 the

00:22:12.460 --> 00:22:12.920
 purpose,

00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:15.920
 and we

00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:16.579
 see the

00:22:16.579 --> 00:22:17.579
 experience.

00:22:17.819 --> 00:22:18.380
 So how do

00:22:18.380 --> 00:22:19.500
 we experience

00:22:19.500 --> 00:22:20.460
 this wisdom?

00:22:20.460 --> 00:22:20.600
 wisdom?

00:22:20.900 --> 00:22:21.480
 How can

00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:22.779
 I become

00:22:22.779 --> 00:22:24.400
 wise like

00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:24.900
 Solomon?

00:22:26.299 --> 00:22:26.740
 Well,

00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:27.299
 before we

00:22:27.299 --> 00:22:27.980
 rush into

00:22:27.980 --> 00:22:28.559
 the book of

00:22:28.559 --> 00:22:29.259
 Proverbs to

00:22:29.259 --> 00:22:30.460
 discover what

00:22:30.460 --> 00:22:31.120
 career I

00:22:31.120 --> 00:22:31.759
 should choose

00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:32.240
 or what I

00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:32.600
 should do

00:22:32.600 --> 00:22:33.019
 with my

00:22:33.019 --> 00:22:33.380
 money,

00:22:33.740 --> 00:22:34.660
 we just

00:22:34.660 --> 00:22:35.500
 need to

00:22:35.500 --> 00:22:36.940
 slow

00:22:36.940 --> 00:22:38.420
 down.

00:22:38.420 --> 00:22:40.180
 You

00:22:40.180 --> 00:22:40.360
 see,

00:22:40.460 --> 00:22:40.700
 if we

00:22:40.700 --> 00:22:40.960
 are to

00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:41.700
 experience

00:22:41.700 --> 00:22:42.360
 wisdom,

00:22:42.580 --> 00:22:43.220
 we need

00:22:43.220 --> 00:22:44.060
 to start

00:22:44.060 --> 00:22:44.660
 in the

00:22:44.660 --> 00:22:45.060
 right

00:22:45.060 --> 00:22:45.820
 place.

00:22:46.560 --> 00:22:47.019
 And if

00:22:47.019 --> 00:22:47.560
 we don't

00:22:47.560 --> 00:22:48.200
 start at

00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:48.660
 the right

00:22:48.660 --> 00:22:49.300
 place,

00:22:49.460 --> 00:22:50.200
 we're never

00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:50.800
 ever going

00:22:50.800 --> 00:22:51.180
 to be

00:22:51.180 --> 00:22:51.680
 wise.

00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:52.620
 So where's

00:22:52.620 --> 00:22:53.160
 the starting

00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:53.580
 place?

00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:54.259
 Where's

00:22:54.259 --> 00:22:54.840
 the door?

00:22:57.080 --> 00:22:57.360
 Well,

00:22:57.400 --> 00:22:58.060
 verse 7

00:22:58.060 --> 00:22:59.360
 is the

00:22:59.360 --> 00:23:00.779
 door to

00:23:00.779 --> 00:23:01.340
 the whole

00:23:01.340 --> 00:23:02.759
 book of

00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:03.480
 Proverbs.

00:23:04.560 --> 00:23:05.300
 Do you

00:23:05.300 --> 00:23:05.580
 see what

00:23:05.580 --> 00:23:06.120
 it says?

00:23:08.420 --> 00:23:09.700
 The fear

00:23:09.700 --> 00:23:10.420
 of the

00:23:10.420 --> 00:23:12.160
 Lord is

00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:12.680
 the beginning

00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:13.519
 of knowledge.

00:23:14.320 --> 00:23:14.960
 Or as it

00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:15.380
 says in

00:23:15.380 --> 00:23:16.019
 chapter 9

00:23:16.019 --> 00:23:16.660
 verse 10,

00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:17.960
 the fear

00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:18.340
 of the

00:23:18.340 --> 00:23:18.800
 Lord is

00:23:18.800 --> 00:23:19.320
 the beginning

00:23:19.320 --> 00:23:20.960
 of wisdom.

00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:23.320
 Now,

00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:24.660
 when we

00:23:24.660 --> 00:23:25.220
 think about

00:23:25.220 --> 00:23:26.140
 the fear

00:23:26.140 --> 00:23:26.500
 of the

00:23:26.500 --> 00:23:26.840
 Lord,

00:23:27.600 --> 00:23:28.240
 we think,

00:23:28.580 --> 00:23:28.940
 run,

00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:30.259
 hide,

00:23:30.840 --> 00:23:31.279
 God is

00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:31.840
 after me,

00:23:32.080 --> 00:23:32.600
 I haven't

00:23:32.600 --> 00:23:33.039
 done one

00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:33.380
 of these

00:23:33.380 --> 00:23:33.900
 Proverbs,

00:23:34.060 --> 00:23:34.380
 I've got

00:23:34.380 --> 00:23:34.759
 it wrong,

00:23:34.840 --> 00:23:35.160
 he's going

00:23:35.160 --> 00:23:35.620
 to punish

00:23:35.620 --> 00:23:35.960
 me.

00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:38.279
 But that's

00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:38.619
 not how

00:23:38.619 --> 00:23:38.920
 God

00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:39.619
 works.

00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:40.859
 Remember,

00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:41.359
 he's not

00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:41.740
 out to

00:23:41.740 --> 00:23:42.279
 crush us

00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:42.759
 or break

00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:43.079
 us,

00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:43.859
 but to

00:23:43.859 --> 00:23:44.940
 help us.

00:23:46.899 --> 00:23:47.539
 Did you

00:23:47.539 --> 00:23:47.819
 notice

00:23:47.819 --> 00:23:48.279
 something

00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:49.099
 different

00:23:49.099 --> 00:23:50.660
 about one

00:23:50.660 --> 00:23:50.980
 of the

00:23:50.980 --> 00:23:52.420
 words in

00:23:52.420 --> 00:23:53.180
 verse 7,

00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:53.779
 how it's

00:23:53.779 --> 00:23:54.480
 different to

00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:55.079
 all the

00:23:55.079 --> 00:23:55.539
 others?

00:23:58.339 --> 00:23:59.059
 It's the

00:23:59.059 --> 00:23:59.359
 word

00:23:59.359 --> 00:23:59.920
 Lord.

00:24:01.220 --> 00:24:02.160
 It comes

00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:03.319
 in capital

00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:04.059
 letters.

00:24:05.259 --> 00:24:05.660
 And whenever

00:24:05.660 --> 00:24:06.519
 we see that

00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:07.039
 phrase,

00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:07.619
 that word

00:24:07.619 --> 00:24:08.679
 Lord in

00:24:08.679 --> 00:24:09.139
 capital

00:24:09.139 --> 00:24:09.659
 letters,

00:24:09.979 --> 00:24:10.239
 it's

00:24:10.239 --> 00:24:10.579
 talking

00:24:10.579 --> 00:24:10.939
 about

00:24:10.939 --> 00:24:11.479
 God's

00:24:11.479 --> 00:24:12.519
 personal

00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:13.000
 name.

00:24:13.839 --> 00:24:14.079
 It's

00:24:14.079 --> 00:24:14.479
 the God

00:24:14.479 --> 00:24:14.739
 who

00:24:14.739 --> 00:24:15.939
 reveals

00:24:15.939 --> 00:24:16.479
 himself

00:24:16.479 --> 00:24:17.239
 to his

00:24:17.239 --> 00:24:17.699
 people

00:24:17.699 --> 00:24:18.439
 for the

00:24:18.439 --> 00:24:18.799
 purpose

00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:19.119
 of

00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:20.199
 rescuing

00:24:20.199 --> 00:24:21.039
 us so

00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:21.399
 that we

00:24:21.399 --> 00:24:21.779
 can be

00:24:21.779 --> 00:24:22.739
 in right

00:24:22.739 --> 00:24:23.519
 relationship

00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:24.159
 with him.

00:24:24.439 --> 00:24:25.000
 This is

00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:26.000
 the personal

00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:27.059
 God who

00:24:27.059 --> 00:24:27.599
 wants the

00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:28.979
 very best

00:24:28.979 --> 00:24:30.139
 for you.

00:24:31.500 --> 00:24:32.339
 So the

00:24:32.339 --> 00:24:33.000
 fear of

00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:33.479
 the Lord

00:24:33.479 --> 00:24:34.059
 is to

00:24:34.059 --> 00:24:34.959
 humble

00:24:34.959 --> 00:24:35.539
 yourself

00:24:35.539 --> 00:24:35.980
 under

00:24:35.980 --> 00:24:36.879
 his

00:24:36.879 --> 00:24:37.680
 loving

00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:38.359
 authority.

00:24:39.359 --> 00:24:40.019
 It's to

00:24:40.019 --> 00:24:40.379
 submit

00:24:40.379 --> 00:24:40.899
 yourself

00:24:40.899 --> 00:24:41.259
 to

00:24:41.259 --> 00:24:42.059
 his

00:24:42.059 --> 00:24:42.700
 gracious

00:24:42.700 --> 00:24:43.159
 rule.

00:24:43.619 --> 00:24:43.960
 It's a

00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:44.799
 desire that

00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:45.639
 I want

00:24:45.639 --> 00:24:46.680
 to please

00:24:46.680 --> 00:24:48.319
 this God.

00:24:48.639 --> 00:24:49.279
 I want

00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:49.899
 to know

00:24:49.899 --> 00:24:50.240
 him

00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:51.039
 better.

00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:53.279
 It's a

00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:53.940
 longing to

00:24:53.940 --> 00:24:54.659
 want

00:24:54.659 --> 00:24:56.379
 what he

00:24:56.379 --> 00:24:57.039
 wants

00:24:57.039 --> 00:24:58.379
 for me.

00:24:58.380 --> 00:25:01.040
 So the

00:25:01.040 --> 00:25:01.600
 fear of

00:25:01.600 --> 00:25:02.160
 the Lord

00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:02.820
 first of

00:25:02.820 --> 00:25:03.180
 all

00:25:03.180 --> 00:25:04.680
 leads

00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:05.520
 to

00:25:05.520 --> 00:25:05.980
 wisdom.

00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:07.880
 You see

00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:08.460
 you can't

00:25:08.460 --> 00:25:09.120
 have wisdom

00:25:09.120 --> 00:25:09.520
 without

00:25:09.520 --> 00:25:10.240
 God.

00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:11.200
 We all

00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:11.620
 want to

00:25:11.620 --> 00:25:12.540
 be wise.

00:25:14.100 --> 00:25:14.500
 We all

00:25:14.500 --> 00:25:14.920
 want to

00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:15.320
 know how

00:25:15.320 --> 00:25:15.760
 to make

00:25:15.760 --> 00:25:16.440
 good and

00:25:16.440 --> 00:25:17.680
 right choices

00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:18.400
 and decisions

00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:19.720
 but so

00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:20.240
 often we

00:25:20.240 --> 00:25:20.700
 want to

00:25:20.700 --> 00:25:21.140
 do it

00:25:21.140 --> 00:25:21.540
 without

00:25:21.540 --> 00:25:22.680
 God.

00:25:24.100 --> 00:25:24.380
 But

00:25:24.380 --> 00:25:24.940
 wisdom

00:25:24.940 --> 00:25:25.840
 without

00:25:25.840 --> 00:25:26.560
 God

00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:27.440
 will

00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:27.839
 always

00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:28.440
 mean I

00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:28.679
 will

00:25:28.679 --> 00:25:29.399
 always

00:25:29.399 --> 00:25:29.980
 choose

00:25:29.980 --> 00:25:30.519
 what I

00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:30.919
 want.

00:25:31.319 --> 00:25:31.480
 My

00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:32.220
 decisions

00:25:32.220 --> 00:25:32.879
 will

00:25:32.879 --> 00:25:33.319
 always

00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:33.679
 be

00:25:33.679 --> 00:25:34.559
 self

00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:35.679
 orientated.

00:25:36.139 --> 00:25:36.379
 What

00:25:36.379 --> 00:25:37.000
 pleases

00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:37.859
 me?

00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:40.399
 And not

00:25:40.399 --> 00:25:40.819
 only is

00:25:40.819 --> 00:25:41.639
 that selfish

00:25:41.639 --> 00:25:42.339
 living,

00:25:43.079 --> 00:25:43.700
 it's

00:25:43.700 --> 00:25:44.259
 downright

00:25:44.259 --> 00:25:45.059
 foolish

00:25:45.059 --> 00:25:45.500
 living.

00:25:45.639 --> 00:25:45.879
 Look at

00:25:45.879 --> 00:25:46.259
 the second

00:25:46.259 --> 00:25:46.779
 part of

00:25:46.779 --> 00:25:47.379
 verse 7.

00:25:50.119 --> 00:25:50.379
 But

00:25:50.379 --> 00:25:51.159
 fools

00:25:51.159 --> 00:25:52.319
 despise

00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:52.980
 wisdom

00:25:52.980 --> 00:25:53.919
 and

00:25:53.919 --> 00:25:54.599
 instruction.

00:25:56.059 --> 00:25:56.399
 You see

00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:56.740
 what he's

00:25:56.740 --> 00:25:56.980
 saying?

00:25:57.080 --> 00:25:57.780
 The fear

00:25:57.780 --> 00:25:58.160
 of the

00:25:58.160 --> 00:25:58.500
 Lord

00:25:58.500 --> 00:26:00.380
 is the

00:26:00.380 --> 00:26:00.940
 beginning

00:26:00.940 --> 00:26:01.680
 of

00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:02.080
 wisdom.

00:26:03.080 --> 00:26:03.660
 But if

00:26:03.660 --> 00:26:03.980
 we

00:26:03.980 --> 00:26:04.940
 reject

00:26:04.940 --> 00:26:05.380
 the

00:26:05.380 --> 00:26:05.860
 Lord,

00:26:06.940 --> 00:26:07.540
 well then

00:26:07.540 --> 00:26:07.780
 it's

00:26:07.780 --> 00:26:08.040
 the

00:26:08.040 --> 00:26:08.660
 end

00:26:08.660 --> 00:26:09.480
 of

00:26:09.480 --> 00:26:09.880
 wisdom.

00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:11.560
 We

00:26:11.560 --> 00:26:11.880
 cannot

00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:12.380
 have

00:26:12.380 --> 00:26:13.019
 wisdom

00:26:13.019 --> 00:26:14.040
 without

00:26:14.040 --> 00:26:14.720
 God.

00:26:16.080 --> 00:26:16.640
 It's

00:26:16.640 --> 00:26:17.160
 like me

00:26:17.160 --> 00:26:17.560
 saying

00:26:17.560 --> 00:26:18.640
 I want

00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:19.360
 Kirsty's

00:26:19.360 --> 00:26:19.900
 help

00:26:19.900 --> 00:26:21.340
 but I

00:26:21.340 --> 00:26:21.620
 don't

00:26:21.620 --> 00:26:21.940
 want

00:26:21.940 --> 00:26:22.400
 Kirsty.

00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:23.740
 I

00:26:23.740 --> 00:26:24.000
 need

00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:24.160
 her

00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:24.480
 for

00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:25.320
 doing

00:26:25.320 --> 00:26:26.080
 things

00:26:26.080 --> 00:26:27.740
 but not

00:26:27.740 --> 00:26:28.240
 in a

00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:28.759
 marriage.

00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:30.440
 The two

00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:30.720
 go

00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:31.280
 together.

00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:33.420
 So

00:26:33.420 --> 00:26:35.019
 the fear

00:26:35.019 --> 00:26:35.300
 of the

00:26:35.300 --> 00:26:35.860
 Lord leads

00:26:35.860 --> 00:26:36.080
 to

00:26:36.080 --> 00:26:36.580
 wisdom

00:26:36.580 --> 00:26:38.400
 and this

00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:39.060
 wisdom

00:26:39.060 --> 00:26:40.040
 leads

00:26:40.040 --> 00:26:41.720
 to

00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:42.220
 life.

00:26:43.220 --> 00:26:43.980
 If we

00:26:43.980 --> 00:26:44.660
 start

00:26:44.660 --> 00:26:44.980
 with

00:26:44.980 --> 00:26:45.600
 God

00:26:45.600 --> 00:26:46.880
 it means

00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:47.240
 I will

00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:47.960
 always be

00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:48.580
 desiring

00:26:48.580 --> 00:26:49.240
 what God

00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:49.519
 wants.

00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:50.039
 if I

00:26:50.039 --> 00:26:50.379
 start

00:26:50.379 --> 00:26:50.579
 with

00:26:50.579 --> 00:26:51.000
 self

00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:51.339
 it will

00:26:51.339 --> 00:26:51.619
 always

00:26:51.619 --> 00:26:51.839
 be

00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:52.180
 about

00:26:52.180 --> 00:26:52.579
 me.

00:26:54.279 --> 00:26:54.639
 And if

00:26:54.639 --> 00:26:54.819
 we

00:26:54.819 --> 00:26:55.240
 start

00:26:55.240 --> 00:26:55.460
 with

00:26:55.460 --> 00:26:55.720
 what

00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:56.180
 God

00:26:56.180 --> 00:26:56.720
 wants

00:26:56.720 --> 00:26:57.980
 it will

00:26:57.980 --> 00:26:58.539
 always

00:26:58.539 --> 00:26:58.879
 be

00:26:58.879 --> 00:26:59.180
 what

00:26:59.180 --> 00:26:59.379
 is

00:26:59.379 --> 00:26:59.960
 right

00:26:59.960 --> 00:27:00.599
 and

00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:00.960
 best

00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:01.200
 for

00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:01.379
 me.

00:27:01.759 --> 00:27:01.980
 Can

00:27:01.980 --> 00:27:02.220
 we

00:27:02.220 --> 00:27:02.720
 trust

00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:02.980
 that

00:27:02.980 --> 00:27:03.180
 the

00:27:03.180 --> 00:27:03.720
 creator

00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:03.940
 of

00:27:03.940 --> 00:27:04.099
 the

00:27:04.099 --> 00:27:04.579
 universe

00:27:04.579 --> 00:27:05.240
 will

00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:05.599
 only

00:27:05.599 --> 00:27:05.900
 do

00:27:05.900 --> 00:27:06.139
 what

00:27:06.139 --> 00:27:06.319
 is

00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:06.660
 right

00:27:06.660 --> 00:27:06.920
 and

00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:07.299
 best

00:27:07.299 --> 00:27:07.539
 for

00:27:07.539 --> 00:27:07.779
 his

00:27:07.779 --> 00:27:08.420
 creation?

00:27:09.819 --> 00:27:10.440
 Look

00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:10.579
 at

00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:28.240
 Wisdom

00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:28.779
 leads

00:27:28.779 --> 00:27:29.359
 to

00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:29.879
 life.

 Chapter

00:27:31.960 --> 00:27:32.759
 27.

00:27:34.099 --> 00:27:34.420
 The

00:27:34.420 --> 00:27:35.139
 fear

00:27:35.139 --> 00:27:35.519
 of

00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:35.799
 the

00:27:35.799 --> 00:27:36.259
 Lord

00:27:36.259 --> 00:27:37.480
 is

00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:37.759
 a

00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:38.220
 fountain

00:27:38.220 --> 00:27:38.559
 of

00:27:38.559 --> 00:27:39.139
 life

00:27:39.139 --> 00:27:40.779
 turning

00:27:40.779 --> 00:27:41.039
 a

00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:41.379
 person

00:27:41.379 --> 00:27:41.660
 from

00:27:41.660 --> 00:27:41.879
 the

00:27:41.879 --> 00:27:42.299
 snares

00:27:42.299 --> 00:27:42.500
 of

00:27:42.500 --> 00:27:42.960
 death.

00:27:44.339 --> 00:27:44.660
 Or

00:27:44.660 --> 00:27:44.859
 look

00:27:44.859 --> 00:27:45.019
 at

00:27:45.019 --> 00:27:45.319
 chapter

00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:46.139
 19

00:27:46.139 --> 00:27:46.519
 verse

00:27:46.519 --> 00:27:47.240
 23.

00:27:49.519 --> 00:28:00.139
 19

00:28:00.139 --> 00:28:00.500
 verse

00:28:00.500 --> 00:28:01.180
 23.

00:28:02.460 --> 00:28:02.700
 The

00:28:02.700 --> 00:28:03.359
 fear

00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:03.559
 of

00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:03.779
 the

00:28:03.779 --> 00:28:04.160
 Lord

00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:04.859
 leads

00:28:04.859 --> 00:28:05.759
 to

00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:06.420
 life.

00:28:07.379 --> 00:28:07.759
 Then

00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:08.039
 one

00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:08.420
 rests

00:28:08.420 --> 00:28:09.099
 content

00:28:09.099 --> 00:28:10.039
 untouched

00:28:10.039 --> 00:28:11.079
 by

00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:11.619
 trouble.

00:28:13.480 --> 00:28:14.119
 So

00:28:14.119 --> 00:28:14.319
 isn't

00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:14.480
 it

00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:14.920
 wonderful

00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:15.240
 how

00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:15.799
 wisdom

00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:16.420
 takes

00:28:16.420 --> 00:28:16.660
 us

00:28:16.660 --> 00:28:17.019
 from

00:28:17.019 --> 00:28:17.519
 death

00:28:17.519 --> 00:28:18.319
 into

00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:18.779
 life.

00:28:18.900 --> 00:28:19.059
 It's

00:28:19.059 --> 00:28:19.259
 the

00:28:19.259 --> 00:28:19.960
 fountain

00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:20.299
 of

00:28:20.299 --> 00:28:20.639
 life.

00:28:20.759 --> 00:28:20.879
 The

00:28:20.879 --> 00:28:21.419
 source

00:28:21.419 --> 00:28:21.639
 of

00:28:21.639 --> 00:28:22.019
 life.

00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:23.099
 But

00:28:23.099 --> 00:28:23.299
 there's

00:28:23.299 --> 00:28:23.579
 something

00:28:23.579 --> 00:28:23.899
 even

00:28:23.899 --> 00:28:24.279
 better

00:28:24.279 --> 00:28:24.539
 than

00:28:24.539 --> 00:28:24.759
 that.

00:28:24.879 --> 00:28:25.000
 The

00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:25.419
 fear

00:28:25.419 --> 00:28:25.879
 of

00:28:25.879 --> 00:28:26.039
 the

00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:26.240
 Lord

00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:26.519
 leads

00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:26.720
 to

00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:27.240
 wisdom.

00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:27.720
 It

00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:28.000
 leads

00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:28.240
 to

00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:28.819
 life.

00:28:30.659 --> 00:28:31.279
 And

00:28:31.279 --> 00:28:31.819
 ultimately

00:28:31.819 --> 00:28:32.200
 it

00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:32.639
 leads

00:28:32.639 --> 00:28:33.159
 to

00:28:33.159 --> 00:28:34.099
 Jesus.

00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:36.440
 Look

00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:36.720
 as we

00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:37.039
 read

00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:37.339
 through

00:28:37.339 --> 00:28:37.579
 the

00:28:37.579 --> 00:28:37.779
 book

00:28:37.779 --> 00:28:37.960
 of

00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:38.559
 Proverbs

00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:39.599
 we

00:28:39.599 --> 00:28:39.819
 will

00:28:39.819 --> 00:28:40.460
 discover

00:28:40.460 --> 00:28:41.980
 that

00:28:41.980 --> 00:28:42.139
 we're

00:28:42.139 --> 00:28:42.359
 not

00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:42.700
 just

00:28:42.700 --> 00:28:43.440
 simple

00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:44.799
 but

00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:44.980
 that

00:28:44.980 --> 00:28:45.159
 we're

00:28:45.159 --> 00:28:45.480
 more

00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:46.179
 foolish

00:28:46.179 --> 00:28:46.480
 than

00:28:46.480 --> 00:28:46.659
 we

00:28:46.659 --> 00:28:46.879
 ever

00:28:46.879 --> 00:28:47.259
 thought

00:28:47.259 --> 00:28:47.500
 we

00:28:47.500 --> 00:28:47.819
 were.

00:28:47.819 --> 00:28:49.259
 Rather

00:28:49.259 --> 00:28:49.539
 than

00:28:49.539 --> 00:28:50.039
 fear

00:28:50.039 --> 00:28:50.279
 the

00:28:50.279 --> 00:28:50.619
 Lord

00:28:50.619 --> 00:28:51.200
 we're

00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:52.059
 people

00:28:52.059 --> 00:28:52.399
 who

00:28:52.399 --> 00:28:52.799
 often

00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:53.779
 reject

00:28:53.779 --> 00:28:54.159
 the

00:28:54.159 --> 00:28:54.559
 Lord.

00:28:55.259 --> 00:28:55.759
 Rather

00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:56.039
 than

00:28:56.039 --> 00:28:56.259
 be

00:28:56.259 --> 00:28:56.779
 listening

00:28:56.779 --> 00:28:57.059
 to

00:28:57.059 --> 00:28:57.259
 his

00:28:57.259 --> 00:28:57.720
 words

00:28:57.720 --> 00:28:58.220
 we

00:28:58.220 --> 00:28:58.519
 so

00:28:58.519 --> 00:28:58.839
 often

00:28:58.839 --> 00:28:59.299
 listen

00:28:59.299 --> 00:28:59.599
 to

00:28:59.599 --> 00:28:59.859
 that

00:28:59.859 --> 00:29:00.619
 internal

00:29:00.619 --> 00:29:01.159
 word

00:29:01.159 --> 00:29:01.779
 in

00:29:01.779 --> 00:29:02.000
 our

00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:02.639
 hearts.

00:29:04.019 --> 00:29:04.859
 Or as

00:29:04.859 --> 00:29:05.259
 Proverbs

00:29:05.259 --> 00:29:05.639
 10

00:29:05.639 --> 00:29:06.159
 verse 8

00:29:06.159 --> 00:29:06.879
 tells us

00:29:06.879 --> 00:29:07.419
 the

00:29:07.419 --> 00:29:08.019
 wise

00:29:08.019 --> 00:29:08.299
 in

00:29:08.299 --> 00:29:08.740
 heart

00:29:08.740 --> 00:29:09.299
 accept

00:29:09.299 --> 00:29:10.059
 commands

00:29:10.059 --> 00:29:11.599
 but a

00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:12.079
 chattering

00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:12.759
 fool

00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:13.740
 comes

00:29:13.740 --> 00:29:14.039
 to

00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:14.379
 ruin.

00:29:14.380 --> 00:29:15.800
 in

00:29:15.800 --> 00:29:15.980
 other

00:29:15.980 --> 00:29:16.220
 words

00:29:16.220 --> 00:29:16.600
 I

00:29:16.600 --> 00:29:16.980
 know

00:29:16.980 --> 00:29:17.200
 what

00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:17.380
 is

00:29:17.380 --> 00:29:17.760
 best

00:29:17.760 --> 00:29:18.020
 for

00:29:18.020 --> 00:29:18.320
 me

00:29:18.320 --> 00:29:19.020
 don't

00:29:19.020 --> 00:29:19.260
 tell

00:29:19.260 --> 00:29:19.580
 me

00:29:19.580 --> 00:29:19.840
 how

00:29:19.840 --> 00:29:20.080
 to

00:29:20.080 --> 00:29:20.300
 live

00:29:20.300 --> 00:29:20.540
 my

00:29:20.540 --> 00:29:20.940
 life.

00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:22.960
 You

00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:23.120
 see

00:29:23.120 --> 00:29:23.320
 our

00:29:23.320 --> 00:29:23.800
 choices

00:29:23.800 --> 00:29:24.160
 may

00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:24.440
 be

00:29:24.440 --> 00:29:25.400
 wise

00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:25.620
 in

00:29:25.620 --> 00:29:25.760
 the

00:29:25.760 --> 00:29:26.060
 eyes

00:29:26.060 --> 00:29:26.220
 of

00:29:26.220 --> 00:29:26.360
 the

00:29:26.360 --> 00:29:26.720
 world

00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:29.660
 but

00:29:29.660 --> 00:29:29.860
 they

00:29:29.860 --> 00:29:30.040
 are

00:29:30.040 --> 00:29:30.480
 foolish

00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:30.900
 in

00:29:30.900 --> 00:29:31.060
 the

00:29:31.060 --> 00:29:31.400
 eyes

00:29:31.400 --> 00:29:31.580
 of

00:29:31.580 --> 00:29:32.000
 God.

00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:33.540
 What

00:29:33.540 --> 00:29:33.740
 we

00:29:33.740 --> 00:29:34.020
 need

00:29:34.020 --> 00:29:34.200
 is

00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:34.440
 not

00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:34.740
 just

00:29:34.740 --> 00:29:35.440
 advice

00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:36.580
 we

00:29:36.580 --> 00:29:36.840
 need

00:29:36.840 --> 00:29:37.080
 more

00:29:37.080 --> 00:29:37.300
 than

00:29:37.300 --> 00:29:37.820
 direction

00:29:37.820 --> 00:29:38.180
 about

00:29:38.180 --> 00:29:38.420
 the

00:29:38.420 --> 00:29:38.820
 career

00:29:38.820 --> 00:29:39.080
 we're

00:29:39.080 --> 00:29:39.300
 going

00:29:39.300 --> 00:29:39.500
 to

00:29:39.500 --> 00:29:39.820
 take

00:29:39.820 --> 00:29:39.980
 or

00:29:39.980 --> 00:29:40.140
 the

00:29:40.140 --> 00:29:40.500
 person

00:29:40.500 --> 00:29:40.740

00:32:22.099 --> 00:32:22.579
 God

00:32:22.579 --> 00:32:24.220
 that

00:32:24.220 --> 00:32:24.480
 is

00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:24.700
 our

00:32:24.700 --> 00:32:25.359
 righteousness

00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:27.099
 our

00:32:27.099 --> 00:32:27.660
 holiness

00:32:33.079 --> 00:32:33.339
 you see

00:32:33.339 --> 00:32:33.539
 that

00:32:33.539 --> 00:32:33.759
 little

00:32:33.759 --> 00:32:34.240
 phrase

00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:34.519
 there

00:32:34.519 --> 00:32:34.700
 in

00:32:34.700 --> 00:32:34.940
 verse

00:32:34.940 --> 00:32:35.420
 30

00:32:35.420 --> 00:32:37.160
 it

00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:37.339
 is

00:32:37.339 --> 00:32:37.680
 because

00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:37.920
 of

00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:38.299
 him

00:32:38.299 --> 00:32:38.599
 that

00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:38.839
 you

00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:39.119
 are

00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:40.079

00:32:40.079 --> 00:32:41.279
 Christ

00:32:41.279 --> 00:32:42.160
 Jesus

00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:44.099
 who

00:32:44.099 --> 00:32:44.359
 has

00:32:44.359 --> 00:32:44.759
 become

00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:45.019
 for

00:32:45.019 --> 00:32:45.299
 us

00:32:45.299 --> 00:32:45.579
 the

00:32:45.579 --> 00:32:46.000
 wisdom

00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:47.079
 from

00:32:47.079 --> 00:32:47.539
 God

00:32:47.539 --> 00:32:50.960
 think

00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:51.119
 of

00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:51.299
 your

00:32:51.299 --> 00:32:51.759
 journey

00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:52.220
 through

00:32:52.220 --> 00:32:52.759
 life

00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:54.220
 as

00:32:54.220 --> 00:32:54.660
 crossing

00:32:54.660 --> 00:32:54.900
 a

00:32:54.900 --> 00:32:55.319
 large

00:32:55.319 --> 00:32:55.799
 sea

00:32:55.799 --> 00:32:57.119
 a

00:32:57.119 --> 00:32:57.400
 sea

00:32:57.400 --> 00:32:57.819
 that's

00:32:57.819 --> 00:32:58.380
 fraught

00:32:58.380 --> 00:32:58.619
 with

00:32:58.619 --> 00:32:59.279
 dangerous

00:32:59.279 --> 00:32:59.940
 storms

00:32:59.940 --> 00:33:00.240
 and

00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:00.740
 currents

00:33:00.740 --> 00:33:01.519
 there's

00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:01.799
 two

00:33:01.799 --> 00:33:02.299
 ways

00:33:02.299 --> 00:33:02.519
 for

00:33:02.519 --> 00:33:02.700
 you

00:33:02.700 --> 00:33:02.940
 to

00:33:02.940 --> 00:33:03.380
 cross

00:33:03.380 --> 00:33:03.720
 that

00:33:03.720 --> 00:33:04.119
 sea

00:33:04.119 --> 00:33:05.519
 either

00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:05.759
 you

00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:05.980
 can

00:33:05.980 --> 00:33:06.519
 swim

00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:08.319
 or

00:33:08.319 --> 00:33:08.480
 you

00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:08.680
 can

00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:08.960
 take

00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:09.180
 the

00:33:09.180 --> 00:33:09.579
 boat

00:33:09.579 --> 00:33:11.980
 well

00:33:11.980 --> 00:33:12.279
 in a

00:33:12.279 --> 00:33:12.599
 sense

00:33:12.599 --> 00:33:13.179
 Jesus

00:33:13.179 --> 00:33:14.720
 is

00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:14.980
 our

00:33:14.980 --> 00:33:15.599
 boat

00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:17.579
 the

00:33:17.579 --> 00:33:17.899
 boat

00:33:17.899 --> 00:33:18.119
 is

00:33:18.119 --> 00:33:18.619

 who

00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:27.500
 is
