My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments.
For length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you.
Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you.
Bind them around your neck.
Write them on the tablets of your heart,
so you will find favour and good success in the sight of God and man.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart.
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight.
Be not wise in your own eyes.
Fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.
Honour the Lord with your wealth and with the first fruits of all your produce.
Then your barns will be filled with plenty and your vats will be bursting with wine.
My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline or be weary of his reproof.
For the Lord reproves him whom he loves.
As a father, the son in whom he delights.
Good morning everyone.
Question to get us started this morning.
How well do you know yourself?
Now studies show that most people find it hard to be honest about themselves.
We're even capable, they tell us, of quite enormous self-deception at key points in life.
So for example, studies show that generally speaking,
when men look in a mirror,
they see themselves as much thinner than they really are.
And conversely, when women look in a mirror,
they generally see themselves as much fatter than they really are.
I avoid that by never looking in a mirror.
It's much easier.
We have a capacity,
a large capacity,
for self-deception.
And I think it's the same in the matter of being wise,
the subject that we're looking at through the school holiday period in Proverbs.
Most are convinced quite naturally
that they are wise.
Even if the dysfunction and mess of their life might suggest otherwise,
people will still say,
yeah, I think, generally speaking, I'm wise.
And typical of our instant culture,
we have instant friends on social media,
instant food.
Then we also assume that not only are we wise,
but we are wise automatically and wise instantly.
That is, we've sort of arrived at a state of wisdom
and in a state of wisdom.
And we see evidence of that.
Children from a young age believe they're wiser than their parents.
And they're prepared to back that
in their actions.
Folk of all ages
enter into relationships
convinced that they will do relationships wisely.
And the evidence would suggest
that's not true either.
We don't actually go and seek the advice of others
very often because,
well, because we don't need advice.
Because we back ourselves
to make wise decisions.
But the book of Proverbs
challenges
this natural
sort of default
understanding of wisdom.
That is,
it challenges
what we understand wisdom to be
and how we understand
we get wisdom.
Wisdom in the Bible
is about living well
in God's world.
It's about,
as I said two weeks ago,
it's about living life
without regrets
because
it's a life lived
under God's rule.
Wisdom,
according to the Bible,
is not something we're born with.
It's not something
that happens automatically to us.
Proverbs tells us
we learn wisdom
from God's word.
But ultimately,
as Don was saying this morning
when the children talked,
ultimately,
wisdom is God's gift.
God's gift to us.
And we need that gift
because we need something
to crash through
our inclination
to be foolish.
That is,
to be wise in our own eyes
is the terminology
the Bible uses.
The Bible also defines
that as autonomy.
So we are
naturally wired
to dismiss God
and live by our own authority
and at the same time
think that is wisdom.
Wisdom.
We need God
to crash through.
And because this is
so hard for us
to accept and grasp,
when we read
the book of Proverbs,
we find something
quite interesting
that's maybe off-putting
to start with,
but it's really,
really important.
That is,
Proverbs goes over
the same thing
over and over again.
There's two or three
or four or five themes
that are repeated
time after time
after time.
Proverbs is a book
for slow learners
like me
and possibly you.
It restates
the essence
of wisdom.
Each time
turned a little bit
differently,
applied slightly
different ways
so there's a development.
It's not just a sort
of bland,
mindless restatement.
But we have to hear it
over and over
and over again
because we find
it hard to grasp.
We find it even
harder to accept.
We find it hard
to be honest
about ourselves.
Proverbs 3,
the passage we're
looking at this morning,
tells us that wisdom
requires faithfulness.
In other words,
hopefully you see
as I open the passage,
wisdom requires
consistent application
of attitude,
desire,
and disciplined action
if we're going to
grow in wisdom
and become
the wise person
that God wants us
to be.
Wisdom is hard
won
and also
easily lost.
But it's always
desirable.
It's always worth
the cost
that's required
to grow in wisdom
because wisdom
delivers her promise
of the good life.
The good life,
God's life.
The first point
I want to pick up
then is from these
passages as we jump
into it,
is attitude.
Determined to be
shaped and defined
by God's word.
Look at the first
four verses
and notice again,
this is the third
time this
sort of passage
starts with
this sort of appeal.
My son,
do not forget
my teaching
but let your heart
keep my commandments
for length of days
and years of life
and peace
they will add to you.
Let not steadfast
love and faithfulness
forsake you.
Bind them around
your neck.
Write them on the
tablet of your heart
so you will find
favor and good success
in the sight of God
and man.
Again,
the opening appeal
third time
in as many chapters
is listen,
learn,
value,
take to heart.
Why?
Because the word
for teaching there
is the word
for Torah.
The teaching
is God's word,
is God's voice,
is God's command,
God's law
which is wisdom.
wisdom is being
taught by a father
to his son.
The son in turn
needs to learn
wisdom.
There are two pictures
here built into one.
There's the picture
as we see
immediate face value
of a father
urging their child,
a parent urging
their child
to be defined
and shaped
by God's word
in all of life.
But there's a picture
behind the picture
and that is
there's also
the covenant
God,
Yahweh,
urging his son
which is national
Israel
to have the same
defining attitude
to be shaped
and defined
by his word.
And we pick up
covenant language
in verse 3
that idea of
steadfast love
and faithfulness.
That's the language
of Deuteronomy 6
and 7.
So if you're going
to read Proverbs 3
you should go home
and actually read it
with Deuteronomy 6
and 7 open
before you,
beside you
because the language
is incredibly similar.
The pictures
are incredibly similar.
Deuteronomy 6
and 7
describes wisdom
or fear of the Lord
and actually uses
those terms
as the right response
to God's
covenant commitment.
Wisdom
is the pathway
which realises
God's promise
of the good life
as we were created
to experience
and enjoy it.
So the command here,
the urge here,
the plea here
is don't be careless
of God's word.
Make it
an inseparable
part of your person.
That's the binding
around your neck.
Write them on the tablet
of your heart.
Make them an inseparable
part of your person.
The thing that actually
defines your attitude
and shapes you
as a personality
and shapes your actions
from the inside out.
And the promise
of verse 2 and 4
again
restated
from chapters 1 and 2.
Actions
have consequence.
That's one of the key
tenets of wisdom.
Actions
have consequence.
The person
who chooses wisdom
will experience
God's promised blessing.
Which in the
covenant language
of Deuteronomy 6 and 7
is the good life.
The good life
defined by
acceptance by God,
protection
from God,
deep satisfaction
of heart
in God.
And in verse 4
that actually
extends
to relationships
generally.
because in our world,
even in our world today,
people will recognize
integrity.
People recognize
right conduct
and respect it
even though
they may not accept
God's word
as the foundation
for that integrity
and conduct.
God's word
and respect it
and there's desire,
longing for nothing else
than total connection
with God,
verses 5 and 6.
I'm going to read
these two verses out
and then
as I read them out,
just note this.
I'm going to look at
how Christians tend
to take these verses
really wrong.
Probably the most,
some of the most
well-known verses
in the Bible,
but so badly
misunderstood.
Verse 5 and 6,
Trust in the Lord
with all your heart
and do not lean
on your own understanding
in all your ways.
Acknowledge him
and he will
make straight
your paths.
Now,
I think lots of Christians
often take the word
trust there
to mean
if I just
screw up my eyes
and really,
really believe
what I'm asking
God for,
then he'll give it
to me.
In other words,
they use the word
trust there
as a sort of
equivalent to sincerity.
If I ask
with enough sincerity,
then I'll get
God's blessing.
But the Hebrew word
for trust here
is a very,
very different word.
It's actually
the picture
of a person
lying face down
in the dirt,
hands beside their body,
totally helpless
in front of those
who tire over them.
At the mercy
of those standing
over them.
That is,
the idea of trust here
is an absolute
confidence
in the Lord
to lead you
into the good life.
Why?
Because,
the second half
of the verse,
you know
your own resources
will not deliver.
And verse 6,
the word acknowledge
is not just
an intellectual,
oh yeah,
I believe in God.
The word acknowledge
is far more,
it's knowing,
it's desiring
to be in
an intimate
relationship
with God.
It's a desire
to enjoy
his presence
through direct
relationship
and ongoing
fellowship
with him.
Now,
those two
verses
combined
to give us
such a huge
challenge
is trust
in the Lord
with all
your heart
and it's
not leaning
on your own
understanding
at any point.
It's in
all your ways,
in every
circumstance
of life,
acknowledging
him.
and man,
that throws
out the
challenge
to us
because our
default position
is to have
a divided
heart.
That is,
we trust
ourselves
to deliver
certain things
in life,
good things
in life.
but I
think most
of us
will realize
we can't
deliver
everything
we want
and so
then we
trust God
for the
rest.
The
things that
we think
we cannot
provide for
ourselves.
But there's
no room
for that
in these
two verses
if we're
going to
grow in
wisdom.
Wisdom
is
learning
to trust
God
in
everything
for
everything.
God's
promise
in these
verses
is as
big as
his
challenge.
The
challenge
is
give up
all of
self
the
promise
you will
get all
that God
offers.
The
idea of
making
straight
your
path
in
verse
6
is
also
from
Deuteronomy
chapter
6.
And what
you read
and see
clearly in
Deuteronomy
chapter 6
it is
not
a promise
of a
hassle
free
life.
Which is
what some
Christians
these days
want to
take it
to mean.
it is
not
the promise
of
hassle
free
life.
It's
the
promise
that
God
will
put
us
on
the
pathway
to
his
appointed
goal
of
life
with
him
forever.
That's
the sense
in which
he'll
make
straight
our
path.
He'll
put
us
on the
path
and he'll
keep
us on
the
path.
Nothing
will run
us off
the road.
Nothing
will keep
us from
getting to
the end
the road
to be
with
the
Lord
forever.
This
desire
genuine
desire
for
connection
with
the
Lord
will
deliver
forever
connection
to God
and
enjoyment
of
him.
Attitudes
and desires
combine
and flow
into
actions.
In
verses
7 to
12
there's
at least
three
actions
there.
Could be
more
depending
how you
want to
divide
them
up.
I'm
going to
pick
them
up
in
three.
And
hear
this
growing
in
wisdom
comes
at a
real
cost.
There's
nothing
automatic
about it.
There's
nothing
particularly
easy
about it
either.
There's
no
shortcuts
to
wisdom.
It
comes
at a
real
cost
which
again
a
person
with
the
right
attitude
and
desire
for
God
will
gladly
absorb.
here's
the
cost
here's
the
price
getting
God
and
suddenly
the
cost
becomes
very
acceptable
and
easily
absorbed.
What's the
cost?
The first one
then verse
seven
what I'm
calling
subduing
self
and
nurturing
God's
mind
and will
verses
seven
and
eight
be
not
wise
in
your
own
eyes
who
can
do
that
for
goodness
sake
we
do
that
automatically
we don't
even have to
think
about that
be
not
wise
in
your
own
eyes
fear
the
Lord
and
turn
away
from
evil
it
will
be
healing
to
your
flesh
and
refreshment
to
your
bones
growing
in
wisdom
means
a
daily
choice
a
choice
to
make
my
rebellious
mind
and
will
bow
to
God's
mind
and
will
and
purpose
it
means
a
daily
choice
of
moving
into
God's
word
asking
the
Lord
that
he
through
his
word
will
expose
my
sinful
autonomous
thinking
and
attitudes
my
failing
desires
my
wrong
desires
that
he
will
expose
them
that
he
will
correct
them
and
that
he
will
redirect
me
into
new
patterns
and
habits
of
obedience
now
I've
been
around
long
enough
as a
Christian
to
say
that's
a
really
dangerous
prayer
to
pray
Lord
expose
my
sin
and
change
me
that
brings
stuff
you just
never
would
anticipate
it's
huge
we
find
it
hard
to
ask
advice
let
alone
be
prepared
to
hear
the
answer
it
comes
back
to
us
lest
our
foolishness
be
exposed
we
actually
search
out
people
when we
do
want
advice
we
actually
tend
to
search
out
people
we
search
out
people
that
we
think
will
give
us
the
answer
we
want
because
it
will
be
a
convenient
comfortable
answer
we
actually
shun
people
that
we
think
might
tell
us
the
truth
we
even
try
and
deceive
ourselves
before
we
even
try
to
deceive
the
Lord
saying
that
you
Lord
are
the
one
in
whom
I
find
my
identity
and
my
happiness
and we
can
actually
say
that
we
can
sometimes
even
convince
ourselves
that
we
believe
that
when
all
the
while
we're
backing
worldly
wisdom
which
searches
for
identity
and
happiness
in
family
marriage
children
career
in
work
home
wealth
or
health
so the
list
goes
on
my
friends
as I
understand
these
verses
here
there
is
no
fear
of
the
Lord
if
we
are
backing
our
own
understanding
or
wisdom
at
any
point
in
life
if
we're
placing
our
confidence
and
identity
in
things
other
than
God
then
there
cannot
be
fear
of
the
Lord
so
to
grow
in
wisdom
then
practically
think of
the
implications
for that
as we
live
in
our
world
to
grow
in
wisdom
is
to
be
increasingly
and
radically
different
from
those
around
about
us
that
we
rub
shoulders
with
every
day
that's
a
huge
cost
given
that
our
natural
inclination
is just
to want
to fit
in and
be one
of the
group
be
accepted
subduing
and honoring
honoring God
by reflecting
his generosity
in everything
verses 9
and 10
it will
be
healing
to
your
flesh
oh
hang
a sec
that's
verse
8
verse
9
honour
the
Lord
with
your
wealth
and
with
the
first
fruits
of
all
your
produce
then
your
barns
will
be
filled
with
plenty
and
your
vats
will
be
bursting
with
wine
now
all
these
verses
are
difficult
this
morning
but
I
need
to
stop
and
look
at
a
particular
difficulty
with
these
two
verses
Christians
tend
to
approach
these
two
verses
particularly
in
one
of
two
main
ways
either
Christians
are quite
critical
when they
come to
this
verse
disappointment
even
angry
at
God
because
they've
not
experienced
prosperity
in spite
of
what they
believe
is honouring
the Lord
with their
money and
possessions
in other
words
they think
God's
dropped
his end
of the
bargain
on the
other
hand
the
other
group
of
Christians
tend
to
come
to
these
verses
ever
hopeful
that
ultimately
if they
keep on
tithing
their
income
then
God
will
make
them
wealthy
I
want
to say
this
morning
that
neither
of those
responses
honours
the
Lord
the
first
response
doubts
God's
promise
which
is
doubting
God's
character
the
other
sees
God
as
nothing
more
than
an
investment
portfolio
the
more
I put
in
the
more
I
get
out
and
I
can't
see
how
that's
honouring
of the
Lord
either
that's
a
transaction
wisdom
however
honours
the
Lord
and
this
is
I
think
the
import
of
these
verses
wisdom
honours
the
Lord
by
being
generous
why
be
generous
it's
in
response
to
God's
generosity
to
us
in
the
first
place
in
the
first
instance
and
giving
other
first
fruits
is
exactly
that
picture
return
the
first
fruits
of
the
harvest
as
recognition
a
generous
recognition
that
every
moment
of
the
growing
season
has
been
a
gift
from
God
from
the
first
rain
to
the
planting
of
the
seed
to
the
bringing
in
of
the
crop
at
the
end
the
yield
at
the
end
so
you
return
generously
in
recognition
of
God's
generosity
in
the
first
instance
generosity
therefore
is
an
outworking
of
heart
attitudes
and
desires
in
response
to
what
God
has
given
us
generosity
honors
the
Lord
not
simply
because
it is
right
to
do
but
because
it
is
a
joy
to
do
and
because
it is
a
small
reflection
of
God's
character
in
us
so
when
you
think
about
it
you
say
when
you
think
about
generosity
we
give
the
best
gifts
to
those
we
love
most
we
give
the
best
gifts
to
those
who
have
been
most
generous
to
us
and
we
give
gladly
conversely
we
hoard
our
wealth
because
when
we
look
at
our
wealth
whether
it's
possessions
or
the
bank
account
we
hoard
our
wealth
and
when
we
look
at
it
we
believe
that
it
is
those
things
that
give
us
security
the
actual
amount
of
money
the
actual
number
of
possessions
we
believe
it's
those
things
that
gave
us
security
more
than
the
Lord
who
gave
us
those
things
in
the
first
instance
as
Tim Keller
says
we've
made
our
wealth
an
idol
and
displaced
God
in
the
process
and
again
as
we
come
to
look
at
what
appears
to
be
an
absolutely
outrageous
promise
of
prosperity
Deuteronomy
chapter 6
and 7
helps us
very easily
understand
the promise
of plenty
or prosperity
because in
Deuteronomy
chapter 6
we have
a context
of
generosity
God
in his
generosity
took a
rebellious
people
to whom
he owed
nothing
and
rescued
them
from
Egypt
brought
them
back
to
himself
and
was
in
the
process
of
bringing
them
into
the
land
which
would
be
described
as
the
good
life
his
place
his
people
under
his
rule
and
what
was
the
heart
of
prosperity
in
this
good
life
not
the
things
of the
land
itself
but
the
relationship
with
God
that
brought
them
into
the
land
prosperity
in
Deuteronomy
6
is defined
in terms
of
connection
with
God
and
therefore
connection
to the
good
life
that
God
wants
his
people
to
have
and
that's
prosperity
they
were
prosperous
Deuteronomy
6
not
because
they
would
have
fat
wallets
nice
houses
and a
hassle
free
life
in
this
land
but
because
they
were in
relationship
with the
Lord
God
now our
problem is
we think
of reward
as something
separate
from God
we think
it's
evidence
of
we think
God
in his
great
generosity
will
give us
things
that are
separate
to him
and
separate
to us
things
that we
want
and we'll
take that
as a
mark
that God
plays
with us
and again
conversely
it's
evidence
of wisdom
when we
realize
evidence
of growing
in wisdom
when we
realize
that our
barns
are
filled
to
overflowing
when we
realize
that we
cannot
exhaust
the rich
wine of
life
when we
are in
relationship
with God
and that
each of
those things
are totally
satisfying
to us
that's
when we
realize
we're
wealthy
beyond
measure
that's
a wealth
in the
New Testament
says
rust
and
moths
rust
and moths
and
you know
the verse
anyway
hey
apply
it
suddenly
I'm sweating
here
for some
reason
and thieves
that's the bit
I couldn't
they can't
be taken
away from
me
that wealth
okay
moving on
quickly
valuing
God's
pursuit
in discipline
even when
that discipline
is really
painful
verses 11
and 12
my son
do not
despise
the Lord's
discipline
or be weary
of his
reproof
for the
Lord
reproves him
whom he
loves
as a
father
the son
in whom
he
delights
another
huge
cost
growing
in
wisdom
will
actually
mean
personal
pain
and
suffering
and
adversity
why
must it
mean
that
because
the
Lord
has to
literally
prize us
free
from our
foolishness
and push
us
into
his way
of wisdom
and
again
you see
our
attitudes
and desires
will
determine
whether
the
challenges
of life
what's
called
here
the
discipline
of
God
whether
the
challenges
of life
will
draw us
towards
God
in
greater
love
and
trust
or
drive us
away
from the
Lord
in
resentment
and anger
and
you
sometimes
I'm
speaking
from my
own
experience
sometimes
that can
be such
a
lineball
case
when the
Lord
brings
stuff
to his
left
field
because
you see
typically
we resent
discipline
typically
even
stronger
we resent
the one
who brings
discipline
to us
why
very
simple
we don't
like to
be exposed
and we
certainly
don't like
to be
corrected
loving
discipline
from the
Lord
makes us
confront
our foolish
behavior
and it
redirects us
into new
obedience
or wisdom
but man
it's so
easy
to react
badly
to God's
discipline
so easy
throw up
our hands
and be
angry
it's not
fair
so easy
to throw
up our
hands
and withdraw
because
the pathway
to wisdom
is not
instant
it's not
easy
and it's
not what
I wanted
to be
and it's
not what
I will
tolerate
it being
my friends
growing in
wisdom
is learning
to value
God's
discipline
as the
most
loving
expression
of
commitment
to us
growing
in wisdom
is being
thankful
even in the
midst of
tough times
being thankful
that God
does not
allow us
to stumble
into foolishness
and continue
to ultimate
destruction
but pursues
us
doing what
he needs
to do
like a
loving
father
to redirect
us
to correct
us
to renew
our confidence
trust
and fear
of him
my friends
do not
despise
the
Lord's
discipline
it will
take you
perhaps
into places
you would
never ever
have gone
in a
million
years
but with
the right
attitudes
and the
right
desires
it will
grow you
into a
new
dependence
of the
Lord
but friends
I need to
end where
I started
and I'll do
so quickly
wisdom is
not something
we get
automatically
it requires
faithfulness
that's all
I've said
so far
it requires
a level
of faithfulness
that is so
extreme
in this
passage
that we
actually have
to say
at the end
of it all
well we can
see all that
but who
can do it
it's beyond
us
so
ultimately
my friends
God's
faithfulness
is required
if we are
to be people
of wisdom
who can
deliver the
attitudes
and desires
and disciplined
action
who can
give up
all of
self
who can
actually
for a
moment
really
seriously
believe
they're
not wise
in their
own eyes
who can
live
obediently
under
God's
rule
well none
of us
can
so I
finish
with this
there's
yet another
perspective
in Proverbs
that is
repeated
chapter
after chapter
another
perspective
on wisdom's
faithfulness
God is
wisdom
and demands
as people
faithfully
pursue
wisdom
that's real
that's the
challenge
we've just
looked at
but God
also
knowing
our
inability
gives
wisdom
as a
gift
because
of
his
faithfulness
so there's
another
take on
wisdom's
faithfulness
God
is
wisdom
and
wisdom's
faithfulness
gives
us
that
which he
knows
we cannot
properly
develop
for
ourselves
it's a
paradox
it's
highlighted
in each
of chapter
one and
two
and it
becomes
here in
chapter three
again
and it's
every chapter
in Proverbs
and it
becomes
a paradox
that becomes
a reality
in the
gospel
remember I
said three
weeks ago
the gospel
is a
call to
wisdom
because
Jesus
is the
wisdom
of God
1
Corinthians
1
24
Jesus
is God's
wisdom
and righteousness
his whole
life
modelled
Proverbs
3
1
to
12
God's
word
defined
and
shaped
Jesus
desire
for
relationship
with
his
father
meant
he
gladly
accepted
the
cost
of
being
God's
wisdom
and
displaying
God's
wisdom
to an
unbelieving
foolish
world
a cost
that
actually
took
him
all
the
way
into
unimaginable
suffering
and
ultimately
his
death
so
Jesus
is
both
a
model
of
wisdom
and
my
friends
our
source
of
wisdom
we
get
wisdom
when we
come to
Jesus
giving
up
all
of
self
we
grow
in
wisdom
as
we
develop
the
mind
of
Christ
and
struggle
to
express
it
in
every
circumstance
of
life
all
the
while
counting
him
as
our
plenty
as
our
healing
as
our
satisfaction
so
my
friends
when it
comes
to
the
challenge
of
growing
in
wisdom
we
need
not
despair
we
are
called
to
put
in
every
effort
that
we
can
to
grow
in
wisdom
but
alongside
this
is
God's
faithfulness
promising
to
give
us
wisdom
in
Jesus
what
a
beautiful
wise
thing
the
Lord
has
crafted
here
if
growing
in
wisdom
was
all
up
to
us
we
would
crash
and
burn
in
despair
if
God
worked
apart
from
us
then
we
would
be
so
ho
hum
and
casual
that
we
would
dismiss
God
the
paradox
of
wisdom
from
Proverbs
is
that
we
have
both
assurance
that
wisdom
is
ours
and
therefore
incentive
in
Christ
to
struggle
to
grow
in
wisdom
to
be
more
and
more
like
Christ
to
be
more
satisfied
with
God
to
enjoy
more
the
good
life
we
have
in
and
through
Jesus
so
friends
pray
with
me
this
week
that
we
will
struggle
with
the
help
of
the
Holy
Spirit
to
trust
in
the
Lord
with
all
our
heart
and
not
our
own
understanding
and
at
the
same
time
be
deeply
thankful
that
in
Christ
we
have
the
wisdom
and
righteousness
of
God
let's
pray
now
Lord
who
can
who
can
do
what's
asked
of
us
here
in
Proverbs
and
ultimately
Lord
we need
to
say
who
needs
to
do
it
for
in
Christ
we
have
wisdom
and
righteousness
and
from
that
then
Lord
our
renewed
desires
pushes
gladly
and
wholeheartedly
into
the
struggle
to
more
and
more
reflect
your
character
as
you
modeled
this
passage
to us
in the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
to
reflect
it
in
our
own
lives
back
to
you
help
us
Lord
to
do
that
we
pray
in
Jesus
name
Amen
Thank you
very much
