Seek Wisdom From God

I counsel you all to find true wisdom in life. The type of wisdom that is found only in the Lord. The knowledge we gain in this life can help us but true insight comes from God.

Proverbs 7:25-27

Proverbs 7:25-27 (KJV)
25 Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
26 For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.
27 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

Proverbs 6:23-25

Proverbs 6:23-25 (KJV)
23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

Do Not Commit Adultery

If you were to keep God’s commandments and have them “continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck”, then this issue with adultery would not be a problem at all.

Proverbs 6:20,21

Proverbs 6:20,21 (KJV)
20 My son, keep thy father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.

Proverbs 6:16-19

Proverbs 6:16-19 (KJV)
16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Proverbs 5:21-23

Proverbs 5:21-23 (KJV)
21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth all his goings.
22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
23 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

Proverbs 5:3-5

Proverbs 5:3-5 (KJV)
3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.

Repent And Let God Change You

Everyone that does not abide by the commands of God will be punished. To live in your own way of life is also living apart from the Lord and telling Him He does not matter.

Joseph Smith Translation

The Mormons don’t always mention the Joseph Smith Translation (JST) book, per say. However, they do reference it in all their KJV Bible’s.

Proverbs 5:7,8

Proverbs 5:7,8 (KJV)
7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:

Come Out Of Sin And Be Baptized

Will you now “ponder the path of life” and where it is leading you. If you are not in a good spot with God, then repent.

Proverbs 5:1,2

Proverbs 5:1,2 (KJV)
1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:
2 That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.

Come Out Of The Evils Of This World

Do not fall victim to the evils of this world but put your trust in God. God is calling you out. He says, My daughter and “my son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding.”

Proverbs 4:1,2

Proverbs 4:1,2 (KJV)
1 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.

Gain Understanding From God

The only way we can know if we are on the right path or not is if we are reading the Bible and praying to God on a regular basis.

Proverbs 31:10-12

Proverbs 31:10-12 (KJV)
10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

Happy Mother’s Day

To be married to a virtuous woman, is what all men that look to God look forward to. Rich or poor, this married couple is still happy, because they have each other and God’s peace in their lives.

Proverbs 4:14,15

Proverbs 4:14,15 (KJV)
14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.

Be Wise In the Lord And Do What He Says

The Bible makes it clear how we can know how to live and act for God. He teaches us to “take fast hold of instruction” and “let her not go” but keep it.

Proverbs 3:5,6

27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.

Our Confidence In God Helps Us

A Christian will not choose to do harm towards another person but show kindness instead. We pray that our speech is uplifting and our actions are considerate to other people’s needs.

Proverbs 3:13,14

Proverbs 3:13,14 (KJV)
13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

The Wisdom From God Brings Joy

The knowledge we gain from God is worth every penny. “For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.”

Proverbs 3:1-4

Proverbs 3:1-4 (KJV)
1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

Trust In God Over Yourself

If your focus is on God, you won’t help it but desire to live by His laws. By doing so, you are showing your trust in Him above all else.

Proverbs 2:1-3

Proverbs 2:1-3 (KJV)
1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
