  Hello friends. Hello friends, it's short and
• 0:17
  Yvonne here. Happy Friday.
• 0:19
  And we are actually, Yvonne, bending the space time continuum
• 0:23
  because we are. I'm actually in the state right
• 0:26
  now, in Canberra. So a spoiler alert, we may have
• 0:29
  recorded this before he left. Yeah, so I've been in Canberra
• 0:34
  this week doing some training, teaching mental health skills,
• 0:38
  awareness, whatever the correct term is, teaching about mental
• 0:41
  health challenges to all the new chaplains joining the Defence
• 0:44
  Force, which has been, I'm assuming, awesome.
• 0:47
  I'm sure it will have been. I'm not sure they'll be prepared
• 0:50
  for your engaging and dynamic interactive presentation style,
• 0:55
  including the gestures that we all know.
• 0:57
  And love, it might not be very Army, but it's going to be very
• 1:00
  Sean and two weeks of it, so they'll get used to me by the
• 1:03
  end. Just what they need.
• 1:06
  Good on you. But enough about me teaching.
• 1:09
  It's time to sit down in front of the King and have him teach
• 1:13
  us some good wise sayings that he has observed.
• 1:18
  You ready? I'm ready.
• 1:19
  Let's do it. Let us read together Proverbs 22
• 1:24
  eight to 14. Those who plant injustice will
• 1:38
  harvest disaster, and their reign of terror will come to an
• 1:42
  end. Blessed are those who are
• 1:45
  generous because they feed the poor.
• 1:49
  Throw out the mocha and fighting goes too.
• 1:52
  Quarrels and insults will disappear.
• 1:56
  Whoever loves a pure heart and gracious speech will have the
• 2:00
  King as a friend. The Lord preserves those with
• 2:05
  knowledge, but He ruins the plans of the treacherous.
• 2:09
  The lazy person claims there's a lion out there.
• 2:13
  If I go outside, I might be killed.
• 2:17
  The mouth of an immoral woman is a dangerous trap.
• 2:21
  Those who make the Lord angry will fall into it.
• 2:26
  And again. Those who plant injustice will
• 2:30
  harvest disaster, and their reign of terror will come to an
• 2:34
  end. Blessed are those who are
• 2:37
  generous because they feed the poor.
• 2:41
  Throw out the mocha and fighting goes to quarrels and insults
• 2:46
  will disappear. Whoever loves the pure heart and
• 2:51
  gracious Speech will have the King as a friend.
• 2:55
  The Lord preserves those with knowledge, but He ruins the
• 2:59
  plans of the treacherous. The lazy person claims there's a
• 3:04
  lion out there. If I go outside, I might be
• 3:07
  killed. The mouth of an immoral woman is
• 3:11
  a dangerous trap. Those who make the Lord angry
• 3:14
  will fall into it. Well, other than me misreading
• 3:20
  an immoral woman as an immortal. Woman, there was a few loves
• 3:23
  there. That is one of the few times
• 3:25
  I've seen you like rewind so that we can say that part again.
• 3:28
  Well, I don't think it works so well if it's an immortal woman.
• 3:31
  So which one of these kind of stands out to you?
• 3:33
  Eva, do you know my favourite was verse 11?
• 3:36
  Whoever loves a pure heart and gracious speech will have the
• 3:40
  king as a friend. Just, uh, it's beautiful.
• 3:45
  Let's love having people of pure heart and with gracious speech.
• 3:49
  And I just saw that as the Heavenly Father, the Heavenly
• 3:53
  King could be on our side. Yeah, that's gorgeous, isn't it?
• 3:57
  And the one before that really stood out to me that that if you
• 4:00
  throw out that mocha, if you get rid of that person, the fighting
• 4:04
  goes and quarrels go and insults go.
• 4:07
  So it's like we bring our character with us wherever we go
• 4:12
  and that shapes what happens to us.
• 4:14
  And you know, the one that you like as well speaks about.
• 4:17
  If our character is gracious and and pure, then doors will open
• 4:23
  and kings will be our friend. Nice.
• 4:28
  Well, Father, we are your children and we need your
• 4:33
  shaping as we go about our lives.
• 4:36
  Holy Spirit, I pray that you continue your work of
• 4:39
  transformation in US, that you can make us more and more like
• 4:43
  you, less and less like the mocha that we have inside of us,
• 4:47
  and more and more like that pure and gracious soul whose friends
• 4:52
  will include the King. We just thank you that you are
• 4:56
  the perfect example of graciousness and righteousness,
• 5:02
  and that you teach us how to be more like you.
• 5:06
  And you have given us Jesus so that we can see exactly what
• 5:09
  you're like. So we thank you for Jesus, and
• 5:12
  we thank you that you make us more like him every day.
• 5:16
  We pray this in his precious name.
• 5:18
  Amen. Amen.
