WISDOM
Proverbs 1:10 “My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent.”
Proverbs 11:14 “Where there is no guidance the people fall, but in abundance of counselors there is victory.”
2) Open Your Bible (read it do what it says)
The Bible says that we should "fear God". It isn't an unhealthy fear of Him where we dread being in His presence. It is a healthy dose of fear, mixed with a sense of awe and wrapped up in love. Kind of like a healthy parent/child relationship where you fear your parents when you do wrong but know that they always want the best for you. It starts there but doesn't end there.
You should also read His love letter to you (the Bible). It is there and full of wisdom. In some places that wisdom has been tested over thousands of years. It is like getting advice from a thousand year old man that has really lived life and done it well. So, trust Jesus, do what He says and then work really hard at it.
Psalm 33:11 “The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of His heart from generation to generation.”
3) Consider the Result
Before making a decision, make sure you weigh the consequences. Will this hurt someone? Are my actions going to cause pain to someone unnecessarily?
Does this need to hurt someone? Sometimes telling someone something they don't want to hear may hurt but it may need to, as long as it is done in love and said in a considerate way.
Ultimately you need to decide if Jesus would be happy with the result of the decision that you are making. That will happen if you do the above things. Thank you guys for coming and being a part of Vibe. I hope to see you soon. Have a great week!
Matt
Proverbs 1:20
“Wisdom calls aloud in the street, she raises her voice in the public squares;”
