Word Wise
One King’s Wisdom and Another King’s Words
Word Wise, a 31 day devotional, connects King Solomon’s
wisdom found in the Old Testament book of Proverbs with the New Testament words
of King Jesus. By bridging one King’s wisdom with another King’s words, you
will find practical instruction for using words in the wisest way.
Living a life “wholly devoted” to the Lord almost sounds
like mission impossible, unattainable and unrealistic. Surely God was just
suggesting devoting ALL while knowing we would still firmly grasp some measure
of self-devotion in this lifetime. This eight week study is based on I Kings,
and addresses issues of the heart such as idolatry, forgiveness, and defeating
the sin cycle and offers practical ways to guide the distracted heart to becoming
a wholly devoted one.
Four Letter Words
LOVE. WAIT. OPEN. SEEK. Four letter words are often found
in crossword puzzles, much to the delight of the puzzle solver. These words
are easy to figure out and fill in some of the empty spaces of the longer,
more challenging words.
LOVE. WAIT. OPEN. SEEK. These four letter words are also
found in God's Word, but not always to the delight of the seeker. These words
are easy to spell but are challenging to hear, especially in the empty spaces
of our lives. This six week study is based on several pairs of four letter
words God often uses with us as we strive to walk in obedience to His plan.
Sometimes they feel like curses instead of blessings and we struggle with the
idea of them coming from a loving Heavenly Father. To be told to "draw
near" or "don't fret" is often easier heard than done. Throughout
this study, you will be encouraged to hear these hard sayings of God with an
open heart so that you may learn to live your life well and keep HIs Word.
