With Revival Comes Resposibility

Malachi 3:16 - Malachi 4:6

Pray

I am going to read verses from the book pf Proverbs.

We looked at these verse last time.

I am not going to speak specifically about these verses again.

I bring them up because as I put together the message based on these verses it reminded my of the thesis for my book For Valor.

The verses in Proverbs are really a synopsis of what the book is about.

There have been a few people asking me to talk a little about the book, so I may interject a few messages here and there that address it.

Read Proverbs 2:1-15

Proverbs 2:1–15 NIV

My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding— indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones. Then you will understand what is right and just and fair—every good path. For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you. Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse, who have left the straight paths to walk in dark ways, who delight in doing wrong and rejoice in the perverseness of evil, whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their ways.
