• 0:11
  Hello friends. It is Sean here and it's the end
• 0:15
  of another week. It's Friday.
• 0:17
  It's the 16th of May Great to have your company as we at the
• 0:22
  end of this week, you clever thing, we are going to dip back
• 0:27
  into God's proverbs and we're going to read through and hear
• 0:31
  the wisdom of Solomon and how it can apply to our lives today.
• 0:36
  That's right. Wisdom through the ages,
• 0:38
  delivered in podcast form to you by the living God.
• 0:42
  How good is that? And yes, we're going to read
• 0:45
  through them twice, but we're going to read through them
• 0:47
  instead of 11223344. We're going to read them through
• 0:51
  once and then through again. So settle yourselves into your
• 0:55
  comfy armchair and await these incredible pearls of wisdom as
• 1:00
  we read together Proverbs 1222 to 28.
• 1:16
  The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in those who tell
• 1:21
  the truth. The wise don't make a show of
• 1:25
  their knowledge, but fools broadcast their foolishness.
• 1:31
  Work hard and become a leader. Be lazy and become a slave.
• 1:37
  Worry weighs a person down. An encouraging word cheers a
• 1:42
  person up. The godly give good advice to
• 1:47
  their friends. The wicked lead them astray.
• 1:51
  Lazy people don't even cook the game they catch, but the
• 1:55
  diligent make use of everything they find.
• 2:00
  The way of the godly leads to life.
• 2:03
  That path does not lead to death.
• 2:08
  And once again, 22 to 28, the Lord detests lying lips, but he
• 2:14
  delights in those who tell the truth.
• 2:19
  The wise don't make a show of their knowledge, but fools
• 2:23
  broadcast their foolishness. Work hard and become a leader.
• 2:29
  Be lazy and become a slave. Worry weighs a person down.
• 2:37
  An encouraging word cheers a person up.
• 2:43
  The godly give good advice to their friends.
• 2:46
  The wicked lead them astray. Lazy people don't even cook the
• 2:52
  game they catch, but the diligent make use of everything
• 2:56
  they find. The way of the godly leads to
• 3:00
  life. That path does not lead to
• 3:03
  death. Our Lord, here you are so long
• 3:16
  ago speaking through the words of that king about worry, about
• 3:21
  anxiety, about this way of being in our modern world that drags
• 3:27
  us down. And the antidote that's
• 3:32
  presented here in your proverbs is an encouraging word to cheer
• 3:37
  up a person, to lift up our hearts.
• 3:39
  Again, our Lord warriors, not something new.
• 3:44
  It's been around as long as humanity has been here.
• 3:48
  But Lord, you give us the power to raise each other up with an
• 3:54
  encouraging word. And Lord, not only that, but you
• 3:58
  fill your word top to bottom with encouragement to us that we
• 4:02
  are loved, that we are forgiven, that our identity is secure.
• 4:07
  As a member of your family, we are your children, Jesus, we are
• 4:11
  your brothers and sisters. So much encouragement you give
• 4:15
  us as worry threatens to weigh us down.
• 4:19
  Lord, may Your encouragement cheer our hearts and let us
• 4:25
  rise, push our shoulders back with a smile on our face,
• 4:29
  knowing that we certainly can take on whatever it is the world
• 4:33
  is going to throw at us. As you encourage us with your
• 4:36
  love and your compassion, we just soak it up.
• 4:43
  We thank you for it, and we pray all of this in your name, Jesus,
• 4:48
  Amen.
