Wisdom

Snippet

We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery. - Samuel Smiles

Scripture

Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take.

Don't be impressed with your own wisdom.
Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
Then you will have healing for your body
and strength for your bones. Pr 3:5-8 NLT

Song

Big Tent Revival
Two Sets Of Jones' lyrics

Songwriters: Wiggins, Steve

 

This here's a song about two sets of Jones'
Rothchild-Evelyn, Reuben and Sue
Just for discussion, through random selection
We've chosen two couples who haven't a clue
Rothchild was lucky to marry so wealthy
Evelyn bought him a house on the beach
Reuben and Sue, they had nothing but Jesus
And at night they would pray that he'd care for them each
CHORUS:
And the rain came down
It blew the four walls down
And the clouds, they rolled away
One set of Jones' was standing that day

Evelyn's daddy was proud of young Rothchild
He worked the late hours to be number one
But just newlyweds and their marriage got rocky
He's flying to Dallas, she's having a son
Reuben was holding a Gideon's Bible
he screamed, >It's a boy!< so that everyone heard
The guys at the factory took a collection
Again, God provided for bills he'd incurred

CHORUS
So what is the point of this story
What am I trying to say
Is your life built on the rock of Christ Jesus
Or a sandy foundation you've managed to lay

CHORUS
Needless to say, Evelyn left her husband
And sued him for every penny he had
I truly whish that those two would find Jesus
Before things get worse than they already have

Sentence Prayer

Father, keep before us the wisdom and love
you have revealed in your Son.
Help us to be like him in word and deed.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. AMEN
