Passage: Proverbs 2:12-22
Series: Proverbs (2013)
Duration: 53 mins 17 secs
Proverbs chapter 2 focuses on God’s Word as our protection and shield. We see the importance of choosing the right path over the appeal of the world’s path in every decision we make. God’s wisdom here is protection against the promise of easy money and easy love relationships. The choice we make brings either joy in life or a death-like existence. The world entices us to abandon the path of righteousness and to walk in dark carnality. The only way to discern a beguiling lie from life-giving Truth is to know the nuances of difference through God’s Wisdom offered in the inspired scripture.

Warning! Danger Ahead! Signs like this alert us to looming disasters. Fathers are told in Proverbs to teach children what will keep them out of blind alleys and detours. With the wrong mental attitudes they can be run over by the things that happen but by choosing to follow the wisdom in God's Word they are able to stand up and walk through life's storms with their heads held high. Listen to this lesson to learn the difference between a proverb and a promise. Accept the challenge of not growing weary and giving up but keeping on traveling the path that shines ever brighter to the end.

Take a moment to think about your problems. Do they seem too difficult to be solved? Listen to this lesson to learn that God has the power to deal with all of our problems and that none are too big for His grace. See that we are all born with a sin nature, loving ourselves, and trying to grab all we can get to try to make ourselves happy. Find out that it is our volition that will determine the outcome. If we trust in Christ, gain knowledge about Him, and have total dependence on God we can lead content lives no matter what the circumstances. Misery comes when we lean on human solutions.
