Work It Out
Uncommon Sense: Wisdom from Proverbs
August 5, 2018
You don’t have to look very far to see that common sense is in short supply these days. One Sunday evening of watching America’s Funniest Home Videos can remind you pretty quickly of how gullible, short-sighted, and foolish people can be! Over the last several weeks we’ve been looking at the big themes in the Book of Proverbs and considering what God’s Word has to say to us about wisdom. This week, we begin looking at specific areas of life where we need God’s wisdom if we want to live the way He intended! In Genesis 2:15 we read, "The Lord God placed the man in the garden of Eden to tend and care for it." From the very beginning, God’s plan for humans included work. Through our work - the way we do it and our attitude about it - we can reflect the character of God to a world that doesn’t know Him. Proverbs has much to tell us about how we should work if we want to live a life that God can bless. In today's message we continue to seek the wisdom of God and apply it to our lives in practical ways.
