| The Paths Of Life – Part 6

Every believer’s most significant need is spiritual maturity.  Many times, as believers we do not realize the significant impact an unsanctified or carnal lifestyle is having on our life here on earth.  As Christians, we are called to live a sanctified life, a separated life or you might say a holy life.  There are many thoughts that go through people’s minds when you talk about a holy life, or a life set apart, but I want to look at the Scriptures to help us understand this better.

Our lives are full of different paths that we can take, for this reason we are going into a series called “The Paths Of Life.”  This series will contain 6 principles from Proverbs 3 that will give us wisdom to help us walk on the correct paths. 

We are going to look at:

1. The importance of Knowing and Keeping God’s Word.

2. The leading of the Holy Spirit.

3. Humility and healing.

4. Honoring God with your increase.

5. Finding, gaining, and retaining God’s Wisdom – Part 1

6. Finding, gaining, and retaining God’s Wisdom – Part 2

The Word of God speaks to all the major points of our lives.  If we are going to enjoy the outcomes that God has provided for us, we must learn and apply what His Word says.

Part 6 – When we value most what God values most, we will experience the fullness of our covenant with Him.  In Proverbs 3:13-18 we see that God places a much higher value on wisdom and understanding than on all natural things.   Believers have a responsibility to renew their minds and adjust their lives to prioritize what God prioritizes.  Happiness, pleasantness, and peace aren’t the guaranteed by-products of financial success, but they are guaranteed to the person who lives by God’s wisdom. Wisdom becomes a “tree of life” to the believer who takes hold of her.
