If you have a prayer request, need Scripture encouragement, or would like a copy of Mark’s lessons each week, email wantmore@biblical-literacy.org

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

Yesterday, Mark gave some examples of strange things in the Bible using Leviticus 10:1, Deuteronomy 32:16, and Proverbs 7:13-14.

THE CONSEQUENCES

What is the consequence for choosing the path of the world over God’s path? (Proverbs 5:3-5; Psalm 1)

Are you following God first above all else? Is your job/career a priority over your family? How are you helping your church and community? Mark encourages us to examine our own lives today.

POINTS FOR HOME:
Choose your path wisely. (Psalm 1; Proverbs 5:4-5)
Scripture applies to everyone. (Proverbs 9:4,26)
You get to pick who to listen to: Lady Wisdom or the Strange Woman. (Proverbs 8:32-36)

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

Why was Paul so adamant that we have clear eyes? Why was it at the top of his prayer concerns?

Do you have any fears? What stands up against fear? What anxieties do you have? Do you ever feel unworthy? Do you have a habitual sin that you can’t seem to get rid of? Pastor Jarrett encourages us to lay our fears at the feet of Jesus, reminding us that we are adopted into God’s family and we have a secure inheritance in and through Jesus Christ.

PRAYER

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

Scripture Reference: 2 Corinthians 7:1 (ESV)

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for your abundant grace and mercy.

As we focus on our heavenly home, help us to stay clear of evil entanglements that are all around us.

Lord, open our eyes to see evil and to run from it.

Lord, we seek to emulate your righteousness and holiness.

May we shed even the appearance of the evil that separates us from your presence.

Guide us and fill us with your Holy Spirit.

May we be committed to doing your will moment by moment.

May others see Jesus Christ shining through all of our words and actions today.

And, if we are granted tomorrow, let’s repeat.

Praying in and through the name of Jesus,

Amen
