Message for 01/06/2025 "Are You A Seeker of Wisdom?" by Fred Goodwin.

*All scripture is ESV unless otherwise noted*

Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;

    fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Psalm 19:7-11 The law of the Lord is perfect,

  reviving the soul;

the testimony of the Lord is sure,

  making wise the simple;

8 the precepts of the Lord are right,

  rejoicing the heart;

the commandment of the Lord is pure,

  enlightening the eyes;

9 the fear of the Lord is clean,

  enduring forever;

the rules[b] of the Lord are true,

  and righteous altogether.

10 More to be desired are they than gold,

  even much fine gold;

sweeter also than honey

  and drippings of the honeycomb.

11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned;

  in keeping them there is great reward.

Psalm 119:1-2 Blessed are those whose way is blameless,

  who walk in the law of the Lord!

2 Blessed are those who keep his testimonies,

  who seek him with their whole heart,

Psalm 119:49-50 Remember your word to your servant,

  in which you have made me hope.

50 This is my comfort in my affliction,

  that your promise gives me life.

Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet

  and a light to my path.

Psalm 119:114 You are my hiding place and my shield;

  I hope in your word.

John 1:1-4 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

John 1:17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

2 Timothy 3:14-16 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it 15 and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,

Hebrews 4:12-13 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

Proverbs 3:5-7 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,

  and do not lean on your own understanding.

6 In all your ways acknowledge him,

  and he will make straight your paths.

7 Be not wise in your own eyes;

  fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
