Sunday Scripture

I feel like I could write on so many verses this week!  I hope you are opening your Bible each week and letting God speak to you through His word.  I know it is such a struggle for me!

My scripture this week is Proverbs 1:7

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

The Sunday School lesson I’m teaching this morning is on wisdom.  Specifically from the time in Solomon’s life when God told him he could have anything he wanted and Solomon asked for wisdom.  God gave him that and all the wealth and riches he could give him just because he had chosen so well.  I think it’s quite ironic Solomon was wise in asking for wisdom.  Seems like he was already a little bit wise. 

Anyway, for a few years now, the concept of wisdom has captured my attention.  I have prayed that He gives it to me as I believe the only way to carry out what God has for me is to be wise in my decision at all times.  How important that is for the 15, 16 and 17 year olds I’ll be teaching this morning as they are just making so many important decisions.  And yet, I’m 15 years their senior and it’s still so important I have God’s wisdom so I’m carrying out what God has planned for me.

So how about you? To participate, simply post a verse, a set of verses or even just a reference to a verse that means something to you now or maybe even in the past.  Explain why it’s important or don’t. It’s up to you.  Go now and post and then come back. Post your name and then a direct link to you blog entry. If you don’t have a blog, feel free to leave yours in the comments. Here is the code for the graphic above.
