WHOEVER LISTENS TO ME WILL LIVE IN SAFETY

Date : Feb 01, 2017
Passage : Proverbs 1:8~33
Keyverse : 33

1. Listen to the godly parents (8-19)

Young men are vulnerable toward sinners' enticements, bad websites, as well as wicked friends. Bad peers would say, "Come along with us! Let's do this." "Just click it once." Their suggestions look charming, funny and promising. But Solomon warns not to go along with them and not to give in to them but listen to their godly parents, Father in heaven. He shows the final result of following the enticement: To rush into sin! Destroying oneself and inviting disasters!

2. Choose to fear the Lord (20-33)

Young men should pay attention to the calling of wisdom. Wisdom is personified, as the Word became flesh. Jesus, the origin of wisdom came and called aloud in the street, in public place now in radios, TVs and public websites. People hate the knowledge of God and do not choose to fear the Lord. They do not accept God's advice to repent and believe in the good news of Christ Jesus (his death for our sins and his resurrection to give us eternal life). They would rather die in their sins out of pride. But whoever listens to God will live in safety and be at ease without fear of harm.


Application: Lord, keep me from temptations. Let me listen to you and fear the Lord.
One Word: Fear the Lord
