Reading:
Proverbs 1:1-9, 20-23;
8:33-36

Here are some questions I took away from reading today’s passage (which is the Sunday School lesson for September 6, 2009):

  1. What profit can I earn from receiving instruction?
  2. Have I become so wise that I need not listen to another’s instruction?
  3. I have knowledge; on what foundation shall I build with it?
  4. What develops beauty in my character?
  5. Is there anything that would cause me to turn from wisdom’s reproof?
  6. How may I win God’s favor?

“…I will make known my words unto you” (23).

[The Scriptures say in Proverbs 1:22 -- How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity?]

Reading:
1 John 4:1-12

We live in perilous times. Deception and deceivers abound at every turn, even in places where truth should safely reign.

No matter where I am, I must stay alert and attentive:

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world” (1).

To effectively test the spirits, I must know the Holy Spirit well.

Is my heart open to that?

Is my heart open to Him?
