Proverbs 4 Bible Study


Bible Study Tuesday...very late on Friday!

I want to apologize that this didn't get done and written out for Tuesday. It really was just because I haven't had the time or the words to write it. 

Get wisdom, get understanding;
do not forget my words or swerve from them.
Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you;
love her, and she will watch over you.
Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
Though it cost all you have, get understanding.
Esteem her, and she will exalt you; 
embrace her, and she will honor you. 
She will set a garland of grace on your head
and present you with a crown of splendor.
Proverbs 4:5-9

I still can not get over how much Proverbs is talking about wisdom and understanding. How important must it be for us to have to live in this world. God knows us so well. He knows to keep repeating and repeating it because we won't get it just the first time. One thing that was shared in our Bible study that was an 'ah-ha' moment for me was that you can't just pray for wisdom or understanding and then it is showered down on you and now your all knowing. I knew this but really hadn't thought about it. Really God will lead you to the ways to get the wisdom and understanding. He wants us to search for it, it will cost us things in this life to have it but if we embrace it and honor it then we will be rewarded more than we can even imagine. 

Some general ways to get wisdom is to study the Bible. God gave us everything we needed to know there. Let's read it and engrave it on our hearts so it will not be forgotten! He also leads people to write books and blogs and articles all about His word to help explain it further or to guide deeper into it. These are great tools but we still need to make sure that they are the right books and that we read them with grace. These books are written by 'man', even if lead by God, some things might not always be correct or work in our lives. Another is fellowship with others. They can help push us past a comfort zone, agree with us, help us through times of need, and help us understand things that we find confusing. 

I know that I'm going to continue to search for wisdom and ways that I can get. I'm going to pray for God to direct me in the right direction!

Our  Bible study group has decided to add an additional topic to each week. Some of them will be controversial topics that can push us into that uncomfortable place. We have decided to do this because we want to know what God is saying about these things. I will do an additional post about this but know that they are my opinions and that I would love to hear what you have to say as well. I love getting comments and I hope to grow from what you post to me!

The League of Incredible Vegetables: Movie Review

Picture borrowed from  Christian Film Database Another movie review! I was so thrilled when I was walking through Best Buy before Christmas and saw this  DVD sitting on the shelf. If you are a boy mom like myself you know that they love super heroes. I struggle to find age appropriated super hero movies for Monkey to watch. He loves Spiderman, Batman, Iron Man, ect. and he has not seen any of the movies/shows that go along with them. Wait...he did watch The Avengers with Daddy one day while I was out. I haven't seen that one so I can't say what I think of it for a 3 year old. Anyway, I love Veggie Tale movies! I think that they do a good job of teaching lessons to kids in a way that they understand and I love the lessons they teach! This one is great because it is about fear and how if you trust God fear can't freeze you. If you have kids, especially boys this movie is great! It helps them get the superheros they want to watch without the bad guys th...

Y3W: I'm Not Perfect

I'm not perfect. I think you already know that as no one is perfect on this earth even though sometimes people can look like it on the outside. I do post many things about the good things going on in my life because I would rather talk about those then dread on the bad or negative things. However today I'm going to make sure you know that I'm not perfect by a long shot. Since about last Wednesday (so over a week now)I have been struggling. I haven't been doing great in my alone time in the Word, I haven't been praying like I was, I'm craving foods that I shouldn't and eating them instead of praying about it and have gained a few pounds back, I'm not doing great on the house work and I'm struggling in making the right decisions in my parenting as Monkey is entering into this new independent/I'm not listening stage. I know what has caused this struggle and I have been working on it but I have been doing alone and not letting God help me through...
