Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be looking at Proverb 1. I will then key in on verse 33 - But whoever listens to me (wisdom) will dwell safely, And will be secure, without fear of evil. This verse is such a powerful verse. This is a wonderful promise of God that we should want to grab hold of. This verse tells us that if we walk in wisdom that we will dwell safely (surely something we all want) and that we will be without fear of evil. In other words, we do not have to be considered with evil coming our way! Glory to God! Today we will begin a three-part series on Saint Paul. I will begin by introducing you to the man that wrote about half of the entire New Testament. In Act Chapter #9: verses 3-9, we find that Saul of Tarsus had an encounter with the living God - the Spirit of Jesus who knocked him off his donkey. He was blinded for three days, and was commissioned by God to preach to the Gentiles. I will then read Romans Chapter 3: verses 10-18 - these verses tell us that we are all sinners and that is our very nature. It also explains why we have need of a Savior. I will then read Romans Chapter 8: verses 1-6. This verse tells us that we no longer have to live according to our flesh, but that we can be led by the Spirit of God. I will then read from 1 Corinthians Chapter 13: verses 4-8. This is the great love chapter and describes the love that God had for us when He sent His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, to earth for us. I will close by reading 1 Corinthians, Chapter 14: verse 1-5. These verses detail that we should seek out the gifts of the Spirit. They also inform us that we should seek the Baptism of the Holy Spirit (which will enable us to speak with "other tongues." This is the prayer language that the Holy Spirit encourages us to receive. We will have power to become emboldened to step out into the call that God has placed on each of our lives. Call to action: reach out and pay someone a compliment today or help them in any way you can to ease their burden. Suggested scripture reading: 1. Reread Proverb 1 in its entirety; 2. Reread the 8th chapter of Romans; 3. Reread in its entirety the 14th chapter of 1st Corinthians.
