• 0:13
  Hello friends, it's Sean here. And it's Yvonne because it's
• 0:17
  Friday. Happy Friday to all of you.
• 0:20
  It's the 9th of January and this is my last day of holidays.
• 0:24
  I have been loving holidays and I must admit I am fortunate to
• 0:28
  think that I have AAI have more holidays to come and.
• 0:33
  I I can enjoy holidays vicariously through you guys who
• 0:36
  are still chilling out at home. Isn't that sweet of you?
• 0:39
  But to all of you who've been already back at work or plenty
• 0:42
  of you casual workers who have been working all all through the
• 0:46
  holidays as well, yeah, shout out to you.
• 0:49
  Thank you. Keep the world going.
• 0:51
  Yes, shout out to the two Connery boys who are out there
• 0:53
  doing it and making the wheels of commerce grind.
• 0:57
  Well done. But we get to put a hold on the
• 1:00
  grinding of wheels and commerce and we get to get a bit smarter.
• 1:04
  We get to get a bit wiser as we are going to be reading our next
• 1:08
  full of handful of proverbs as we come and sit down by the feet
• 1:13
  of that wise king and hear his proverbs as shared in Proverbs
• 1:19
  chapter 21 to 7. Wine produces mockers.
• 1:33
  Alcohol leads to brawls. Those LED astray by drink cannot
• 1:38
  be wise. The King's fury is like a lion's
• 1:43
  roar. To rouse his anger is to risk
• 1:46
  your life. Avoiding a fight is a mark of
• 1:50
  honour. Only fools insist on
• 1:53
  quarrelling. Those too lazy to plough in the
• 1:58
  right season will have no food at the harvest.
• 2:04
  The good advice lies deep within the heart.
• 2:07
  A person with understanding will draw it out.
• 2:12
  Many will say they are loyal friends, but who can find one
• 2:16
  who is truly reliable? The godly walk with integrity.
• 2:23
  Blessed are their children who follow them.
• 2:29
  And again. Wine produces mockers.
• 2:33
  Alcohol leads to brawls. Those LED astray by drink cannot
• 2:38
  be wise. The King's fury is like a lion's
• 2:44
  roar. To rouse his anger is to risk
• 2:47
  your life. Avoiding a fight is a mark of
• 2:52
  honour. Only fools insist on
• 2:54
  quarrelling. Those too lazy to plough in the
• 3:00
  right season will have no food at the harvest.
• 3:05
  Though good advice lies deep within the heart, a person with
• 3:09
  understanding will draw it out. Many will say they are loyal
• 3:15
  friends, but who can find one who is truly reliable?
• 3:21
  The godly walk with integrity. Blessed are their children who
• 3:25
  follow them. Boy, that is dense.
• 3:38
  There are a lot of really, really good bits in there do.
• 3:43
  You know the the one that talks about the King's fury like a
• 3:46
  lion's roar. I think we often think of God as
• 3:50
  this benign friend, and we forget this kingly aspect to
• 3:55
  God's character where to rouse his anger is not a good thing.
• 4:01
  Oh, wow, absolutely. I was just the person who can
• 4:07
  draw out that really good advice from someone deep in their heart
• 4:11
  like that's oh, that's so beautiful.
• 4:15
  And just that final, that final one, the godly walk with
• 4:19
  integrity and blessed are they children who follow them.
• 4:22
  Just as a as a parent, that's obviously the desire of my heart
• 4:28
  is that just we could walk with integrity and follow God's,
• 4:33
  God's path for us and that our children would choose to do that
• 4:36
  as well. Just the the power of integrity
• 4:41
  as a as a life choice and also hand in hand with integrity is
• 4:46
  not picking fights and just being a person of peace.
• 4:51
  Oh, what a beautiful picture of a way to live.
• 4:53
  Yeah. Oh, thank you, Lord, for this
• 4:56
  picture of how to live. Thank you for this wisdom shared
• 5:00
  with us through the Proverbs, that you would have us be people
• 5:04
  of integrity, people of peace, people of understanding.
• 5:10
  So that we can take the time not to quarrel, not to push back,
• 5:14
  but to hear and to understand and to live alongside and to
• 5:19
  always, always act in a way that is upright with integrity.
• 5:24
  And that that not only brings the best chance of a good life
• 5:27
  for us, but those around us and our families and our friends.
• 5:31
  So Lord, just shape our hearts to be your people with your way
• 5:36
  of peace and integrity. We love you and thank you for
• 5:42
  being that ultimate example of deep, deep integrity and giving
• 5:47
  us your profound peace. And we are so grateful and we
• 5:51
  love you. I mean, pray all of this in your
• 5:53
  name, Jesus, Amen.
