Wisdom

Pilot Knob Lutheran Wisdom 6/26/2024

If you are looking for a daily bible reading, one suggestion is to read one chapter of Proverbs a day and each month you will read the entire book. This daily reading can be incorporated into any other bible reading plan you are currently using.

As you begin you will notice that Chapters 1-9 talk a lot about wisdom and you will also notice that wisdom is personified as a woman who invites those who hear her to receive God’s gift of wisdom. Proverbs 1:20 Out in the open wisdom calls aloud, she raises her voice in the public square. Because the Hebrew word for wisdom is feminine, wisdom is a woman. Also, the image of a woman is meant to portray wisdom as attractive to the son and counters the attraction of the foolish and its immoral ways.

Wisdom in Proverbs is a type of instructional literature, or as we would say, “words of wisdom’ from a father to his son. The people of the ancient near East knew the value of a father instilling wisdom, truth, and knowledge in their children from early on. Today we need to be reminded that the first 7-9 years in a child’s life are very critical in establishing a biblical worldview and a love for God. Communist dictators knew this very well. It has been said: “give me your child until nine years old and I will have him for the rest of his life. Wow! What a responsibility and privilege given to parents to not only instruct but to know and filter what they are learning in school. Since prayer (God) was removed from schools in 1962 it has become Satan’s workshop, and that is no exaggeration.

So what is wisdom and how can we get it? This will be for future communiques.

“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.” -G. Michael Hopf

Consider

1 Samuel 12:24 But be sure to fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you.

This verse which is our memory verse for Sunday comes at an interesting time. For Israel, they would no longer be judged by God’s prophets, but a king. However, Samuel was asked to pray for the people and, even though he would be replaced by a king he would continue to teach them God’s ways.

VOTE!!

When this comes in your email box there will be twenty-eight days before the election, one that will impact the direction of America and the world for generations to come. This is a very serious time for America and the world, too serious not to vote.

In The Beginning

As many of you who attend Pilot Knob Lutheran, every other Sunday we try to memorize or become familiar with a Bible verse, as Psalm 119:11 says: I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.
