Ponder this: The standard of wisdom: you or God?
Proverbs 3:7–8 (NKJV) 7Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD
and depart from evil. 8It will be health to your flesh, And strength to
your bones.
We often think we have it all figured out. Yet,
if we will listen and obey (fear the Lord), God’s principle is that we
will have a blessed life. Unfortunately, many in their pride are too
wise to listen and obey… and therefore miss His blessings.

Time For A Treasure Hunt!
Ponder this: How hard are you looking for God’s wisdom? Don’t give up, he promises that you will find it!
Proverbs 2:1–6 (NKJV)1 My son, if you receive my words, And treasure my commands within you, 2 So that you incline your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding; 3 Yes, if you cry out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding, 4 If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures; 5 Then you will understand the fear of the LORD, And find the knowledge of God. 6 For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;

Listen and Learn!
Listen and learn!
Ponder this: Are you willing to learn?
Proverbs 1:7 (NKJV) 7The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Young and old alike are often to proud to listen to wisdom and instruction. In their pride they are then what God calls a fool.

Listen and Respond Calmly - Ponder This! 5.1.14
Parents, Model and Teach : Listen and be calm!
James 1:19–20 (NKJV) 19 So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to
hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; 20 for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of
God.
Perhaps that is why God gave us two ears and one mouth???? J

Try to Understand! - Ponder This! 4.30.14
Ponder This! Many of us as parents have at one time or
another been guilty of this, but we must continue to challenge ourselves and

Proverbs 18:2 (NKJV) 2A
fool has no delight in understanding, But in expressing his own heart.
We must learn to listen to truth and wise counsel and not
simply spout what we think…

Hear Both Sides! - Ponder This: 4.29.14
Ponder this: We as parents and leaders must carefully look
at “both sides” of a situation before we address it. We don’t want to be considered a fool by God…
Proverbs 18:13,17 (NKJV) 13He who answers a
matter before he hears it, It is folly and shame to him.
17The first one to plead his cause seems right,
Until his neighbor comes and examines him.
