  Hello friends, it's Sean here and it's Friday.
• 0:15
  It's the 13th of June. Congratulations.
• 0:19
  Here we are at the end of another week, and you know what
• 0:22
  that means. Yes, not only is the weekend
• 0:24
  about to arrive, but some proverbs, some of God's wisdom
• 0:30
  delivered to us in these brief little bundles being delivered
• 0:35
  right to our doorstep here in the book of Proverbs.
• 0:38
  So today we are going to continue doing just that.
• 0:41
  We're going to read 6 Proverbs through together and reflect on
• 0:44
  those and then pray through how they might shape our lives to be
• 0:49
  more godly and more wise. How fantastic.
• 0:53
  You ready? Yeah, me too.
• 0:55
  Let's dive in reading together Proverbs 1319 to 25.
• 1:11
  It is pleasant to see dreams come true, but fools refuse to
• 1:16
  turn from evil to attain them. Walk with the wise and become
• 1:21
  wise. Associate with fools and get in
• 1:25
  trouble. Trouble chases sinners, while
• 1:30
  blessings reward the righteous. God's people leave an
• 1:36
  inheritance to their grandchildren, but the sinner's
• 1:40
  wealth passes to the godly. A poor person's farm may produce
• 1:47
  much food, but injustice sweeps it all the way.
• 1:54
  Those who spare the rod of discipline hate their children.
• 1:58
  Those who love their children care enough to discipline them.
• 2:03
  The godly eat to their heart's content, but the belly of the
• 2:07
  wicked goes hungry. And again it is pleasant to see
• 2:15
  dreams come true, but fools refuse to turn from evil to
• 2:19
  attain them. Walk with the wise and become
• 2:23
  wise. Associate with fools and get in
• 2:27
  trouble. Trouble chases sinners, while
• 2:32
  blessings reward the righteous. Good people leave an inheritance
• 2:38
  to their grandchildren, but the sinner's wealth passes to the
• 2:42
  godly. A poor person's farm may produce
• 2:46
  much food, but injustice sweeps it all the way.
• 2:52
  Those who spare the rod of discipline hate their children.
• 2:56
  Those who love their children care enough to discipline them.
• 3:00
  The godly eat to their heart's content, but the belly of the
• 3:04
  wicked goes hungry. My Lord, we hear in these
• 3:18
  proverbs that the poor may farm, work hard and produce food, but
• 3:25
  often the thing that keeps them poor is the injustice would
• 3:29
  continually sweeps away everything that they've been
• 3:32
  able to achieve. And Lord, we know that that is
• 3:36
  true today as we think of all of those who work so hard for a
• 3:40
  pittance in corners of the world so that us in these Western
• 3:45
  countries who have the privilege of being able to listen to
• 3:49
  podcasts on our shiny devices, that we can buy things cheaply.
• 3:55
  And those who have produced them are often trapped in cycles of
• 3:59
  injustice. Our Lord, we know that injustice
• 4:03
  breaks your heart and enrages you.
• 4:07
  Lord, I pray that our hearts too, would be shaped by yours,
• 4:11
  so that we would not stand passive and unaffected by the
• 4:16
  injustices of the world, but that we would arm ourselves with
• 4:20
  the knowledge that we need to make informed decisions so that
• 4:24
  as we act in this world, we would do so in a way that
• 4:28
  upholds your righteousness and your justice.
• 4:33
  Or help us find practical ways to do that.
• 4:38
  And Lord, help us use the information we're able to find
• 4:43
  to bless people everywhere. May your Kingdom come on earth
• 4:50
  as it is in heaven. We ask all of this through your
• 4:54
  precious name, Jesus. Amen.
