God has a plan and a path for your life that is magnificent.  His intention for you is great.  He’s committed to giving you abundant life AND eternal life.

The devil does NOT want you on that path.  His eternal death has been sealed.  He wants company.

There are things that take you off the path and there are things that bring you back to the path.

This week we focus on staying or getting back on the path.

Here are the notes:

Right in front of my face

I’m sort of embarrassed.  I was looking for the answer to a big life question.  I’ve talked to a lot of really smart people, people I’d count as “wise”.

All of them gave me great, supportive feedback and advice.  I appreciate that.

But I was scrolling through this blog and read some of the notes from one of our classes and all the answers I was looking for were right there, right in front of my face.

It’s not enough to read Proverbs.  It’s not enough to engage in lively discussions about it.  You have to believe the wisdom and the word enough to ACT on it.

There is deep wisdom here.  The kind that will help you make quantum leaps in every area of your life.  But if you don’t believe enough to act on it then what good is it.

2014 has to be the year of applying the wisdom we’ve been given.

Notes:

“One who lacks self-control is despised; one who learns to curb desire is respected.”  Proverbs 13:18

 If you really want respect learn to curb your desires.  If you try to play a video game without a controller you soon find you can’t.  If you try to play the game of life without self-control you soon find you can’t.

The best recipe is the following.

1. Know yourself.  And you won’t really know yourself until you’ve been tested.

2. Know your boundaries.  You’re boundaries are set by the will of God and his law.

3. Put the controls in his hands.
