Proverbs for Wisdom
Reason for proverbs is for wisdom.
Wisdom so we are prepared and equipped for this life both physical and spiritual.
Tonight we are looking at the voice of wisdom.
(insert slide: Listen up; already saved on computer)
To hear wisdom’s voice we need to listen
To hear wisdom calls for us to apply wisdom too
Be careful what you listen too for folly has a voice too.
Is listening more than hearing?
Wisdom’s Voice
Wisdom has a voice and it comes in form of instruction, in teaching, but we need to be careful for follow will try to lead you away from wisdom.
Wisdom’s voice is voice of instruction (Pro1:8-10; Pro22:6; Tit2:1-10)
What does wisdom sound like (v.8)?
What does it look like (v.9)?
What is the application (v.10)?
Wisdom instructs and teaches the child (Pro22:6) .
Does this mean that wisdom prevents someone from departing or straying from the ways of the Lord?
You see what wisdom, the instructions, the teaching, what it looks like in (v.9) now what Paul has to say about it, look at Tit2:1-10
Wisdom can be seen (Tit2:1-10)
(Have everyone turn in bibles to Tit2:1-10)
In looking at the passage in Tit2:1-10 what does wisdom look like?
The voice of temptation can be seen too (Pro1:11-14; Pro3:14-16)
The voice of temptation can be seen too (Pro1:11-14)
Temptation is all around and it calls to us, just as wisdom does.
We need to be careful what we are listening to.
Temptation is not a friend, for a friend would not lead you into sin.
Don’t reject the eternal treasures of true wisdom
Wisdom’s instructions regarding temptation (Pro1:15-19); 2Cor6:14-18; Jam1:14)
Pro
Be careful where you walk, who you walk with, check out 2Cor6:14-18)
2COr
Don’t play with temptation for it always lays in wait, it is a trap (Pro1:17) or you could look at Jam1:14)
Don’t do harm to others for in doing such you are only harming yourself in the long run (Pro1:18-19)
Wisdom’s voice of Salvation
So wisdom has a voice, and now may we look at how wisdom speaks, where wisdom speaks and to who wisdom speaks to, as well as what does wisdom have to say, and what should we do with it.
Wisdom speaks loudly!
(Insert picture: wisdom speaks loudly already saved on computer)
Wisdom speaks through words (Rom10:18)
Wisdom speaks through creation (Psm19:1-4)
Wisdom speaks through instinct (Rom2:14-16)
Though the Gentiles did not have the law they still knew the things of the law.
Our job, our aim, our task is to boldly proclaim salvation's message in an uncompromising way.
Where does wisdom speak (Pro1:20-21)
Wisdom speaks on the streets, in the square, noisy places, in city gates
So, for the most part it is done outside of the church building.
Wherever people are, that is where wisdom needs to speak.
Who does wisdom speak to (Pro1:22-24)
Simple ones, scorners and the fools
The simple will believe anything
The scorners think they know everything
The fools are ignorant because they are dull and stubborn
What does wisdom say (Pro1:22-23)?
Brings the charge, brings the indictment (Pro1:22)
Brings an invitation (Pro1:23)
Wisdom is calling with a promise to bring a change through the Word.
What about the response to wisdom (Pro1:24-25)?
The simple, the scorner and the fool will reject wisdom (v.24)
They neglect all counsel (v.25)
Judgment and calamity is coming and they have been warned (v.26)
What is the reason for wisdom again?
So we are prepared and equipped for this life both physical and spiritual; not accepting wisdom has consequences because:
Wisdom is to protect against coming judgment
Wisdom comes with instructions for application, you cannot have the benefits of wisdom if you do apply wisdom.
Pro1:30-
For when calamity comes and they cry out, He will not answer (v.28)
For when calamity comes and they cry out, He will not answer (v.28)
calamity comes, dread comes, distress and anguish come, they will cry out, cry to the Lord, he will not answer.
It will be the death to them (v.32)
Look at (v.32) again, waywardness will kill then, complacency will destroy them.
A New Testament warning about this (2Tim4:3-4)
We need to seek wisdom while it can be found (Isa55:6)
We need to seek wisdom while it can be found (Isa55:6)
A Healthy Response to Wisdom’s voice
All in! Wisdom speaks, speaks up, speaks out, call us to be all in.
Do you have a healthy response to wisdom’s voice?
Listen and apply
Listen and apply and live securely (in your salvation)
Listen apply, live securely and have peace from the dread of evil for you know where you rest is, in Christ Jesus, who is your peace.
