Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be looking at Proverb 27. I will then key in on verse 1 - Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring forth. Friends, may I suggest that you live each day as though it is the last day you will be here on Earth? If this were your last day, would you do anything differently? I bet you would. Consider those closest to you. Are there people you really care about that you haven't communicated with for some time? Text them. Give them a call. Consider telling those closest to you how important they are to you and that you love them. Today we will continue our study on the Apostle Peter. I will pick up where I left off on yesterday's podcast. May I encourage you to listen to yesterday's podcast - if you were unable to tune in. I will begin with Jesus restoring Peter unto Himself. We know that Peter denied Jesus on the night that He was betrayed. However, when Jesus rose from the dead, Jesus allows Peter to confess three times that he loves Jesus (I will read John Chapter 21: verses 15 through 19). Here Jesus prophesies that Peter will die by crucifixion as did He (however Peter will ask that his executioners place the cross the opposite way that Jesus died. I will then read 2 Peter, Chapter 2: verses 12-17. These verses tell us that there will come false teachers (I believe we are in this time now) that will be living a life of sin and trying to lead people astray from the truth. I will then read 2 Peter Chapter 3: verses 14-18. These verses tell us that we should remain strong in our faith, knowing that Jesus is our Lord and Savior. Call to Action - Put yourself in Peter's place when Jesus asked him three times if he loved Him. What would your answer be. Suggested scripture reading: 1. Reread the proverb of the day, Proverb 27 in its entirety. 2. Reread Chapters 2 & 3 of 2 Peter.
