In this episode of what does God say to you? I have combined all of Proverbs Chapter three episodes, one to five all together right here.
0:11 I know that I like to listen to longer podcasts, lots of times. So if you're somebody that likes to listen to longer podcasts too, you've got it right here.
0:21 It's about 45 minutes altogether. If you'd like to know how you could support my work, go into the description box or into the show notes and click the link.
0:31 I really appreciate you. This is Kathy Roberts. Thanks.
Hello, and welcome to our very first podcast. This is "What Does God Say to You?" where we put aside things that we say to ourselves based on what it is that we have learned through our experience.
0:50 And we hold true to what God says instead. So we will contradict any negatives that we say or anything that is contrary to the word of God that comes into our hearts and into our mind.
1:05 And we will counter it with the word of God. "What Does God Say to You?" That's what we want to hold on to and believe.
1:15 So for the very first podcast, I'm going to read Proverbs chapter three, and we're going to break it apart a little bit.
1:25 Okay? So the very first verse, it says, my son forget not my law, but let that heart keep my commandments.
1:37 Now the next verse is why, why should I do that? Why should I not forget your law? Why should I let my heart keep your commandments?
1:50 Because your verse two length of days and long life and peace shall they add to you? Now, this is where I first started to really dig into the word of God to find the help that I was looking for to live a better life.
2:10 When I read this, I was, I was surprised and it made me realize that there are a lot of answers in here that we need to dig out.
2:20 So here we go, ready? Length of days and long life and peace shall they add to you. So who does want enough time in the day, who doesn't want a long life, and who doesn't want peace?
2:35 We all do next first verse three, let not mercy and truth for sake. They bind them about the neck. Write them upon the table of thine heart.
2:49 That is, we want mercy and we want truth. The word of God is truth, and we want to live it.
2:58 We can't live what we don't know, right? Verse four. And then why, why do we want this verse four? So shall doubt find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
3:14 So why did we want mercy and truth? Why did we want to remember God's law and live it? Well here it says because we'll have favor and good understanding in the sight of not only God but man, verse five, trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean, not unto your own understanding in all your ways, acknowledge him.
3:46 And he shall direct thy paths. This is a big, big understanding. This is a big piece of revelation right here.
3:55 So much hinges. Um, this knowledge right here, trust in the Lord with all your heart. So with all of your being trust, God, and don't lean onto your own understanding.
4:12 Don't lean to what we think we know in all of our ways and in how many of our ways in all of our ways or what if somebody does something really jerky to us?
4:25 Well then, in that case, I should do something about it, right? Well, no, what if I'm totally right? Then I should do something about that.
4:36 Right? I can get mad about that, right? No, it says in all of those ways, acknowledge him, know him in all of your ways, know him.
4:50 Now we get to know him unless we know his word. Just like we can't know each other, unless we speak to each other, unless we have some form of communication with each other, we can't know each other.
5:04 So how do we get to know God through his work? Because that's all we've got. These are his words in all of my ways, acknowledge him.
5:14 And what will he do? He will put us on a customer road going in a certain direction.
5:48 He will lead the way, but can we be led by God? If we are going our own way, if we're learning on our own understanding, no, there's a lot.
If you are reading this and you feel called, and you have the time, will you join me in this calling? I need help. These episodes need show notes. Please email me Fullnrich@yahoo.com put "WDGSTY help" in the subject. Thanks.
8:56 What ways God's ways, wisdom and understanding her ways are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to them.
9:09 That lay hold upon her. Here's another clue. Lay, hold upon her. Here's another clue. Happy is everyone that retains her retains.
9:24 So this is saying that we could get it. We could look for it. We could hold it. We could have it, but if we don't hold onto it, we lose it.
9:38 We don't only have to look for it and get it. We have to hold on to it. Here's where it says happy is everyone that retains her.
9:50 Now there's another section of the Bible that we could tie into this, where Jesus talks about the sower, sows the word, and he gives an analogy of it being seed.
