Here are the verses and quotes mentioned in todays podcast.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 (ESV)
16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
When you start sitting at the Lord’s feet and listening to His Word, repeatedly running what you’ve heard through your mind, eventually His thoughts become your thoughts and His ways become your ways. And then you will start to put on what the Bible calls ‘‘the mind of Christ.’ -Wayne Cordeiro, "The Divine Mentor"
Do you want to know the biggest difference between Consequences and Wisdom? Wisdom teaches you the lesson before you make the mistake. On the other hand, consequences demand that you make the mistake first. Only then will it teach you the lesson. Wisdom puts up the fence at the top of the cliff; Consequences visits you in the hospital when you’re in traction . . . after they’ve scraped you up from the cliff’s bottom. -Wayne Cordeiro, "The Divine Mentor"
If Consequences has a back-end price, Wisdom has a front-end price. It requires discipline, obedience, consistency, and above all else, time. Then it gladly pours on you its promised tremendous riches. -Wayne Cordeiro, "The Divine Mentor"
Proverbs 13:20 (ESV)
20 Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise,
but the companion of fools will suffer harm.
Psalm 119:97-100
97 Oh how I love your law!
It is my meditation all the day.
98 Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies,
for it is ever with me.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers,
for your testimonies are my meditation.
100 I understand more than the aged,
for I keep your precepts.
Psalm 34:8 (ESV)
8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!
James 1:5-6 (ESV)
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.
Matthew 11:28-30 (ESV)
28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
This life essential isn’t a cure-all for every problem you’ll face, but one thing’s for sure: ... Spending unrushed time alone with God in His Word releases a fountain of refreshment from the very core of your being. - -Wayne Cordeiro, "The Divine Mentor"
1 Timothy 4:8 (ESV)
8 for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.
