Wisdom Quest III

I have now completed three weeks in my month through Proverbs.  Let me tell you that it has been awesome.  I recommend that all of you try this, just one chapter a day and you can read Proverbs in one month.

I want to highlight a few of the Proverbs that spoke to me this week:

1) Proverbs 22:1 "A good name is more desirable than great riches;
to be esteemed is better than silver or gold."

It is great to have a good reputation.  What is your reputation?  Women, know that we men pay close attention to your reputation.  We want a woman that is respected.  What would people ask you to do?  Are there some things people wouldn't ask you to participate in because of who they know you are?

A reputation is an important thing that takes a long time to build and a moment to destroy.  Guard your reputation and earn a good name today.

2) Proverbs 18:24 "A man of many companions may come to ruin,
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother."

How many Facebook friends do you have?  How many real friends do you have?  Don't surround yourself with acquaintances only; build a tight core group of friends or even just one friend that you know will be there for you.  Conversely, be that friend for someone.

However, know that in the end the "friend who sticks closer than a brother" is Jesus.  Only He can fullfil your deepest needs.

3) Proverbs 19:22a "What a man desires is unfailing love..."
Solomon is a wise man.  He hit the desire of mankind right on the head.  Of all the wishes that we have only one floats to the top... the desire for unfailing love.  We will search for it everywhere but will only find it in one place.  God is the only source for unfailing love.  He is the only one that will never disappoint.  To fill this desire seek God with all your heart, mind, strength and understanding.

This unfailing love is available.  As a boy at church said recently, "Hurry, supplies are unlimited!"

I beg you to give your life to the One who made the universe.  He is the One who will love you without end.

It's easy.
A) Admit you are a sinner who needs a savior.
B) Believe that Jesus is the Son of God, that He lived a perfect life, was crucified, died, and was buried, the He was raised from the dead conquering sin and death, and He is seated now at the right hand of God.
C.) Commit your life to Him as your Lord and Master.

Let God fill your need for unfailing love today.
