Bottom line: Only by being truly consecrated to Jesus and His mission can a person ever truly feel fulfillment in life.

Only by admitting he has fallen can a man ever begin to be fixed. Only by confession of sin and Christ as Lord can a sinner be saved. Only be confessing we aren't doing what we were made to do can we ever begin to get back up.

Bottom line: When it comes to doing what you were made to do, you may have fallen but it doesn't mean you can't get back up. There is a fix. His name is Jesus.

Bottom line: Wisdom implores us to protect sexual fidelity and flee sexual immorality. 

Bottom line: The wise choose the path that leads to God’s favor and blessings. 

Five keys to following the path God directs: Remember God's Words, Trust God's Plan, Walk God's Path, Steward God's Blessings, and Receive God's Correction.

Bottom line: Guarding our hearts diligently directs us to the right destination wisely. 

Proverbs 4:20-27 gives a pretty detailed list to follow if we want to guide our lives to the right destination.

1) Listen To God's Word Attentively

2) Guard Our Hearts Diligently

3) Speak Our Words Carefully

4) Walk Life's Path Wisely

Bottom line: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. 

Wisdom is for everyone: simple, young, old. We never graduate from our need to increase in wisdom. We need to receive it because it is valuable. It's value is seen in that when you follow and apply it, you end up in the right place: right place in life, marriage, school, career, work, relationships, ministry, finances, etc. Wisdom doesn't start with information. It begins with the fear of the Lord (i.e. awe, reverence). Wisdom begins when we stop putting ourselves at the center of our lives and put God there instead.

Bottom line: Our greatest hope is fulfilled in a personal relationship with Jesus.

The promise of hope was the birth of a Savior, a Rescuer. He has come, but has he BECOME your personal Savior. 

Bottom line: All who accept the invitation to come and see their hope has come will leave glorifying and praising God.

Hope's promise finds it ultimate fulfillment in the coming Redeemer's birth from the virgin's womb and the empty tomb. Hope's promise is fulfilled in us when we trust Jesus as our Savior.
