As Christ followers, we have a very specific spiritual diet laid out for us in the pages of the Bible that helps us. This regimen, when closely followed, produces major results in the lives of believers. These practices are key to the vitality of our spiritual life and development and must be a source of discipline for every believer.

Benefits of Wisdom Part 2 Value – Proverbs 3:15
What’s most valuable to you?
“She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her.” Proverbs 3:15 ESV
The “She” above is wisdom. This is the 2nd episode on wisdom from this section of Proverbs.
We talked about profit and wealth yesterday. Today, we’re talking about value. Value is different than wealth. We often equate the 2 because we purchase so many things with money.

Benefits of Wisdom Part 1 Profit – Proverbs 3:13-14
What are some of the benefits of wisdom?
“Blessed is the one who finds wisdom and the one who gets understanding for the gain from her is better than gain from silver and her profit better than gold.” Proverbs 3:13-14. ESV
There’s no limit to your ability to gain wisdom or to give it out. This passage and in other places in Proverbs, we find that wisdom is something we get from God, not just from our experience.

Finding Wisdom – Proverbs 3:7-8
Do you consider yourself wise?
“Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.” Proverbs 3:7-8 ESV
We struggle so hard to get what we want. I can get wrapped up in what I’m trying to accomplish; even so much that I get angry with other people, circumstances and situations that don’t enable my own pursuits.

Joyful In Today – Psalm 118:24
Do you trust Jesus enough to enjoy negative situations or circumstances?
“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24
Is it foolish to rejoice in the Lord? After all, he made today. In the song Miracle Power by We The Kingdom, there’s a line, “I may not know what the day may bring, but I know who brings the day.” This is the day the Lord has made.

What end of the earth are you on?
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8 CSB
Imagine all of God’s people deployed all over the globe. Each one is able to share their story about how God has transformed them. The story lines up with their life.

There’s a song that often comes on the radio when I’m driving in the car. It talks about the Bible as the one true gospel and that we have the ability to experience freedom because of the truth of the gospel of Jesus.
I personally love this song and loudly belt out the lyrics whenever I hear it.
Your Results May Vary – Mark 10:31
How do you handle disappointment?
“But many who are first will be last and the last first.” Mark 10:31 ESV
We just talked about how we can know that we will receive in some proportion to what we invest. We’ll also receive some persecution. Then Jesus says this. Do you ever wonder why Jesus says what he says when he says it?
I think he’s reminding us that even if we think we have a great formula for understanding God, he is still wild.

The Trade Off Part 2 – Mark 10:29-30
What’s the downside of following Jesus?
Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel, who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come eternal life.” Mark 10:29-30 ESV
I didn’t mention a phrase yesterday that is in this version of this story.
