• 0:11
  Hello friends, it's Sean here. It's Friday, it's the 27th of
• 0:16
  June. And how good are you making it
• 0:18
  to the end of another week? Ah, here we are right on the
• 0:22
  precipice of the weekend. And I hope that that is a good
• 0:25
  place for you as you look forward to some time with a
• 0:29
  little bit more space to enjoy some some of the good things
• 0:34
  that you enjoy doing other than being a productive human all the
• 0:36
  time. And of course, today being
• 0:39
  Friday, we are going to read some proverbs together, some of
• 0:43
  that wonderful wisdom of Solomon spoken through the ages to us.
• 0:48
  So you're ready, you're ready to get a little smarter, get a
• 0:50
  little wiser in the way that we live.
• 0:53
  Yeah. Our Holy Spirit, open us up so
• 0:56
  that your wisdom won't just bounce off our ears, but it may
• 1:00
  seep into us, transforming us into the people you know.
• 1:05
  We can be You, beauty. Let us do it.
• 1:11
  Let us read together. Proverbs 14, seven to 12.
• 1:25
  Stay away from fools. You won't find knowledge on
• 1:28
  their lips. They're prudent to understand
• 1:33
  where they are going, but fools deceive themselves.
• 1:40
  Fools make fun of guilt, but the godly acknowledge it and seek
• 1:45
  reconciliation. Each heart knows its own
• 1:52
  bitterness, and no one else can fully share its joy.
• 1:59
  The House of the wicked will be destroyed, that the tent of the
• 2:03
  godly will flourish. There is a path before each
• 2:10
  person that seems right, but it ends in death.
• 2:19
  And again, stay away from fools, for you won't find knowledge on
• 2:24
  their lips. The prudent understand where
• 2:30
  they are going, but fools deceive themselves.
• 2:36
  Fools make fun of guilt, but the godly acknowledge it and seek
• 2:41
  reconciliation. Each heart knows its own
• 2:47
  bitterness, and no one else can fully share its joy.
• 2:54
  The House of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the
• 2:57
  godly will flourish. There is a path before each
• 3:03
  person that seems right, but it ends in death.
• 3:19
  Oh, oh Lord, if only it was so easy to know the difference
• 3:22
  between the wise and the foolish, as it seems in the
• 3:25
  Proverbs. And Lord, here you make this
• 3:29
  clear distinction that when our conscience, when your spirit
• 3:34
  prompts us that we are in the wrong, only a fool would make
• 3:38
  light of that situation. But your way is to acknowledge
• 3:43
  our wrong and to seek reconciliation.
• 3:46
  Now, Jesus, may we be people of reconciliation.
• 3:52
  May we be people who can put aside our egos.
• 3:56
  And when we've made a mistake, ah, that we could do the hard
• 4:00
  thing to put a hand up and say, yeah, I made a mess of this, I'm
• 4:04
  so sorry. And be reconciled.
• 4:10
  Lord, just give us your vision, Your vision that looks beyond
• 4:14
  the pain of the moment and the discomfort of the moment to see
• 4:18
  reconciliation and healed relationships again on the other
• 4:21
  side of that process so that we can continue to be your people
• 4:26
  and bring about your Kingdom, where we are not split off from
• 4:31
  each other, but we come together in wholeness before you, our
• 4:36
  loving God, who's forgiven us more than we could possibly ever
• 4:40
  know. Oh, you are good to us and we
• 4:44
  love you, and we pray that we could be more like you every
• 4:48
  day. And we pray all of this in your
• 4:51
  precious name, Jesus, Amen.
