Date's America but we are bowing to some of the laws of sharia I mean employers are allowing Muslims to get on their rugs in at noon and to pray to their god Allah when we can't mention the name of Jesus. The Muslims are taken and Putin continues here the Muslims are taking over those countries but they will not take over Russia our Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of culture or the primitive ways of Sharia law and Muslims when this honorable legislative body thinks of creating new laws it should have in mind the Russian national interest 1st observing that the Muslim minorities are not to Russia and the politicians in the Duma which is their parliament gave Putin a 5 minute standing ovation. Oh my goodness we need to learn we need to learn from this man I know he's evil he's cruel but I'll tell you why he is wise when it comes to minorities and people coming into our country and trying to change our country and we see some people now in Congress who have been elected who are Muslims who are trying to change our country we should not allow it we should not to sell thank you for praying continuing to pray for President Trump Wow he has a big assignment on his on his agenda in his agenda and I'll tell you why I believe that God has ordained him to be here at this time but we need to really continue to wash our hands of the deception the hold over Obama the the Obama holdovers the deep state government that is still working in the administration. I just can't believe some of the things that are going on and it seems sometimes like our congress just turns their back and I saw another. Emailed the other day I don't know who it was from but they were playing solitaire during Congress congressional sessions solitaire and they were doing all kinds of business things of their own biz their private business transactions while Congress was being held I don't understand that we're paying them to be representatives of our country and I don't believe they're doing a good job. And you ask Who do you vote for then Barbara I have no idea. I pray a lot when voting comes 1st Corinthians 1013 no temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man and God is faithful and I love that because we're going to find out that God is faithful in every transaction that you partake of Especially if you are longing for him friend if you love to be with him friend if you love to take time in your day to worship him and I really like the idea of I'm tomorrow i'm glad i think I'm going to do the passion I'm going to be talking a little bit about the passion talks about no testing has overtaken you and I don't believe that is a real good translation beacon because temptation comes from the devil and you can read that in the 1st chapter of James but testing comes from God So we're going to talk about that a little bit tomorrow if we have time Rick ran or confession for today I boldly declare that I am a new creation in Jesus Christ all things have passed away and all things have become new I have a new identity some of you don't realize that you're doing the same job for the last 15 or 20 years you're going home and eating the same food basically and you're doing the same yet at the same loop every day and so you don't understand that when you accepted Jesus Christ as Savior you have a new identity Yes you do yes you do your spirit is brand new and it you have a new identity now your body is the same but you still have a new identity I am not who I used to be. Anymore so I will not allow my thoughts to go back to what I was I don't see like I used to see I don't talk like I used to talk and I don't behave like I used to behave now that I am in Jesus I think like him sit see like him talk like him and behave like him his resurrection power works inside me I declare this by faith in Jesus name thank you so much regret or that's a great confession for today I don't talk like I used to talk I don't behave like I used to behave now I am in Jesus I think like him I see like him I talk like him and behave like him really great I'm going to go to a hidden man of the heart from e.w. Canyon I talk a little bit about right and wrong affirmations and sometimes even as believers we have wrong affirmations Yes we do and I'm I'm part of that yes but we're going to talk a lot I'm going to talk a little bit about right after affirmations the the good type of affirmations and then affirmations that don't get you anywhere you're dead kind of dead in the water you are a friend continually affirming something you're making decisions every day you're affirming things and that affirmation of the reactions of the affirmation upon your life are sometimes very disastrous and you say like wow how did this happen and it's because of the decisions you have made the choices you have made and the affirmations you have set out of your mouth you know the effect the words of loved ones have upon you well the effect of your own words upon you are just as strong you may continually say to yourself well I can't do it I just can't do it I haven't the strength to do it and you feel your physical energy and your mental efficiency losing away and leaving you and you wonder why you're weak you have just said I can't I don't have the strength I don't I can't do it anymore and because you have said that your body has listened to you and full indecision and doubt and your effectiveness has gone. You see an affirmation is the expression of your faith whether you have faith in yourself in love ones in the Bible or the authors of the Bible or whether you have faith in disease failure and weakness some people are always confessing their faith in diseases their faith in failure and calamity what you confess you have you hear people say well you know why God gave that to me so I could go to the hospital and witness and they say that and fully assured that that's what God did for them and it could be that they opened a door and allowed the enemy to come in to so that they had to go to the hospital with some kind of disease see they constantly confess failure and doubts they don't realize that their confession robs them of their ability and efficiency they don't realize that their confession can change the solid hard road that they're walking on that wonderful narrow path that Jesus has given to them into a bog he clogged mire but it is true the confession of weakness will bind and hold you captivity talk poverty and you'll have plenty of it confess your want remember what David said in Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want I shall not have lack and that's what we need to confess your lack of money all of the time and you will always have lack. I'll tell you it's true you talk it and you're going to have it your confession is the expression of your faith and these confessions of lack and of sickness shut the father out of your life and let Satan in giving him the right of way and access into other areas of your life you don't want that how do you get out of the death stream of deadly confessions you say scriptures like Psalm 23 memorize it so you can say it day or night any time you need uplifting in the spirit even if you're in the grocery store even if you're in the vehicle if you have that memorized then you can say The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want and go through that whole wonderful song you whisper it at work or in the grocery store you repeat it until that precious phrase becomes a reality in your life and when it becomes Raymer vital you will never find yourself saying again I want or I need but you will say I have love that I love what e.-w. Is saying here your heavenly Father is greater than the lack or the want greater than the disease greater than the weakness greater than any enemy that tries to rise against you then you will say with deliberate confidence God is the strength of my life of whom shall I be afraid and that Psalm 271 God is my strength strength in its fullness you need to say that every day instead of I just can't do it I just can't I haven't the strength to do it you know and I got out today and I realized these big branches I mean they were heavy duty I mean some of them were probably I would say 10 inches across so they were huge branches that fell off out of my Mabel trees and I said now how am I going to do this and I said Ok Lord you've got to help me do this I can't do this by myself and angels you can commission you to come and help me because I had 5 or 6 of these huge big branches to tug over to the side so I could get the vehicle out you know why not God was the strength of my life there were a couple times. I remember him really saying Mom breathe breathe deep. And I took another branch and struggled with it I was breathing deeply and said Father you've got to give me the strength for this I can't do this on my own and that's what we really need to say you know his strength is made perfect in our weakness when we realize that we are weak to do something then God comes in he is the shepherd he is the Jehovah Jairo he is the Jehovah Ruffa that gives us the strength that keeps us from failing Oh it's so good well there are 2 types of affirmations that I wish you to notice and these are on page 109 of the hidden man of the heart if you want to look it up if you have that book 1st there is the affirmation with nothing behind it but your own will to make it good and we can do that it is based upon a philosophy born of sense knowledge what you see what you hear what you touch what you smell what you taste that sense knowledge is a product of your own mind if it's in a religion like Christian Science they deny sand and they deny the existence of the sickness Yeah they do it is a problem of ability to meet a financial If it is a problem of ability to meet a financial obligation I affirm with all my might that I have the ability to meet it all that I have to make these affirmations good is something that I am or I have of myself it's made up of self focus Oh yeah I can do this I can do this and so many people are self sufficient they think that they can do anything without God's direction with God's help and that's from sense knowledge learning the word of God has no place in these affirmations I believe that e.w. Canyon is saying here that most of the time your financial be a lady to make money is up to you but no my brothers and sisters God wants to be in all the opportunities to make money is just like daring. Said God has more provision then you have made you have got to look to Him for your provision in order to meet that need so when you say I can do this I've got this I can make the money to help pay these bills you won't get it not if you're a believer in Jesus Christ you've got to depend on God to help you I believe that's why so many Christians get into trouble they believe that making money is left up to them and so they leave God out of their money making endeavors for instance how many of you when you have a financially need go to the internet or go to places of employment and look for just another job to meet the bills how many have done that how many I could just get another part time job that would probably meet the needs instead of going to God Do you take time to spend time with the Lord and ask him to give you an opportunity to use your gifts and talents in making money in this world I remember we had a dear friend and oh could she bake pies she could really bake pies pick on pies I mean just mouthwatering pies and one time she brought this wonderful pick on piety to Deron to the house and Erin says Have you ever thought of baking pies and taking them to your local restaurants and he's no I don't I can't do that and so she would work as a janitor. At nights cleaning buildings when God had given her this beautiful gift of baking wonderful pies and you've heard of people making cookies and selling cooking and becoming millionaires with cookies. And she just couldn't think of doing that well she went home early to be with the Lord and I wonder sometimes if we do that we miss the gift that God has given to us to just get an ordinary job. Well as well when it comes to disease or relationship issues if you're trying to do this on your own it will not last and will usually become a failure like Jesus said in John 155 apart from me you can do nothing I love that John 15 verse 5 apart from me you can do nothing the 2nd type of affirmation I want to get this in really quick is based upon the Word of God The Word says if God be for you who can be against you I know that he is for me and he is for you and I know that this disease that was laid upon you has can be defeated and has been defeated by the stripes of Jesus and is usually you know it's actually laid upon Christ Jesus that affirmation is based upon the Word of God upon the word that lives in abides and cannot be broken by His stripes I am healed that's a biblical affirmation Jesus said heaven and earth may pass away but my word will never pass away you see the vast difference between an affirmation based upon your own will your own decisions your own philosophy and an affirmation backed up by God Himself are worlds apart the affirmation based upon sense knowledge philosophy has no more value or ability to make good then is in the will and the mind of the maker of the affirmation see and I don't want to depend on my own thoughts on my own mind I want the thoughts of God intervening the fonts from the Word of God intervening into my day. A life friend but the affirmation that is based upon the Living Word I've. You alone are my strength and my shield or you alone may my spirit yield to do you know I you are created Do you know why you were created not to you know get a big name for yourself a title for yourself not to make whole gobs of money although you money and have to feed into the kingdom of God Yes money to give in to the kingdom of God But you know why you were created to worship you were created to worship Him God wanted somebody in his creation to worship him from there all free will is that wonderful to know. That you serve a God that loves you so much and he wants you to love him he loves you do you love him oh I hope you do because he loves you with an everlasting love so I pray to day that as this show finishes that you will get along with him for a little while today I know you're busy you have a lot of things on your mind but does take some time I guess that's why a lot of having the piano in my home is take some time and just worship him and it's such a wonderful release it will be for you to just take a moment or 2 and just praise Him and worship him and you'll find that he will feel every voice every issue that you had every decision that you have to make he's going to feel that with his love and His guidance and his wisdom remember that it's been so good being with you Kimberly I think is going to join me tomorrow so you know join us again on this show God bless you and take joy.

To see him that is please to present Ronald Eldar and Born to Win. How long would you like to live in the flesh. It depends doesn't it it depends on whether that long life is free of pain and hurt and confusion and all that or whether there's some joy in it. How would you like to have a little more peace in your life and what if I could tell you a way you can have both of these long life and peace Well there is a way it's found in the Bible but the problem is that the theologians and the doctrinal teachers have confused the issue for us to where a lot of people somehow either miss it or don't understand it and deal with it take the Book of Proverbs for example right here in the Book of Proverbs there is a collection of wisdom from the wisest man who ever lived his name his King Solomon his wisdom was a direct gift from God Now what Solomon did in his life was to systematically collect all the wisdom he had been able to gather and he wrote it down in a book for generations to follow. He basically says that there is a basis for wisdom and hence there is a basis for long life it is a special revelation about the way that life works a special revelation of God to man about man's nature and God's nature and how these 2 natures interact on a day to day basis the fact is human beings work in a certain defined and rather predictable way and of course God is quite predictable he never changes now out of these 2 things grow a number of Life Principles and this special revelation tells man what these things are don't you think don't you think it's worth knowing what those things are and what that revelation might be but as I said it's in the Bible it's called the law and somehow that poses a big problem in people's mind. It's because they look at the law and they see it as a set of handcuffs and shackles around their ankles and they don't really understand that the law is that special revelation of the way things work and that being the case it's really a pretty good idea to inform yourself about what it says but the problem is a lot of theologians want to argue that the law has been so merrily abolished somehow there's an assumption made by many that in the Old Testament salvation was by the law but in the New Testament salvation is by grace they have it all wrong salvation has always been by grace and the law has always been the basis of true wisdom the law has always been a guide to life a definer of right and wrong and an explanation of the way the relationship between man and man ought to work and more important a definition of the way man can relate to and understand God listen to King Solomon speaking on behalf of God in Proverbs 3 Verse one my son forget not my law but let your heart keep my commandments for a length of days and long life and peace shall they add to you. Oh and what were we talking about a long life and piece How do you get them added to you well you buy get it added by not forgetting the law and by it letting your heart keep retain God's Commandments that's all what is the law for it's for a long life in peace is to keep us out of trouble is to teach us about ourselves and about God and to help us to have a better life. You know the only sense in which the law has ever saved man is that it saves me in a lot of trouble that's why a Christian should study the Law of Moses not because it will save you but to learn about God's will for life to learn wisdom to learn the elements of love. What am I talking about well look all of us know that a Christian is to love his fellow man right that's our obligation Jesus said of his disciples by this shall all men know that you are my disciples if you love one another but love is more than a feeling it's not just that I feel good about you love actually is a behavior or a set of behaviors it has to do with the way we live our life the law contains the elements of those behaviors do not steal says the law for no man who loves his neighbor would ever covered his neighbor's property and whatever takes something that doesn't belong to him right don't commit adultery says the law Love your neighbor not his wife. I don't have any other gods for love is not divided you can't love God while worshipping an idol Remember the Sabbath day take a day off work to meet with God. These are laws that reveal things to man at work as opposed to things that don't work I heard a heard a fascinating story the other day about this question of the 7th day and the sabbath day and a day of rest someone was saying you know about those those rides down the Grand Canyon on the back of those mules Yeah I said I've heard of that he said then learned recently that if they will give those mules a day of rest wants a week the mules live longer want to surprise even jackasses live longer when they get a day of rest every week so what's the law for well the law is to tell you how to live longer. How would you like to have favor in the sight of God and man how would you like to have other men and other women to like you and to trust you and to respect you how would you like to have favor with God who hears your prayers and really wants to grant your request and to walk alongside of you how would you like to have a good understanding of the issues you're going to face today and that the decisions that you have to make a well there's a way to that as well here's Solomon again in verse 3 of Proverbs 3 lead not mercy and truth forsake you tie them around your neck or write them on the table of your heart so shall you find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man. There is a way to having favor in the sight of God and then it's time to not let Mercy and truth forsake you now they're not that hard to understand they're not quite so easy to apply the truth side of the equation is obvious a commitment to truth and honesty is about as straightforward a commitment as anyone could ever make the temptation to lie to gain favor is almost irresistible at times the temptation to lied to protect your reputation is hard to resist you know you got yourself in trouble things have gone wrong in stead of setting up standing up and saying I did it I'm sorry it won't happen again he'd lie and say I didn't do it I don't know who did. But truth works better and is a great cleanser of the soul it's a great antidote to fear and to shame God's advice tell the truth and get it over with get it off your chest tell the truth say you're sorry and get on with life because one more thing having a reputation as a truth teller is worth its weight in go to have people say to you Look I know you your word is good it's not so hard to understand the value then the truth isn't but the other side of the equation mercy is a little bit more difficult maybe illustration from Jesus would help to clarify this thing the illustration is found in the 18th chapter of Matthew and beginning in verse 21 Peter came to Jesus and said Lord how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him 7 times. Peter was like a lot of us gets a little bit concerned about people who just keep on making the same mistakes and saying I'm sorry. No that feeling very well from both sides I might add that Jesus said to him No no not 7 times until 70 times 7. Now that's mercy 490 times if necessary you've got to forgive your brother mercy is the quality of withholding punishment from another person even when the punishment is originally deserved Now he says don't let truth and mercy forsake you these are things that are going to help you. Now Jesus went on to explain what he meant to Peter with a parable he said therefore is the kingdom of heaven like a certain king who would take account of his servants and when he had begun to reckon one was brought to him that owed him $10000.00 talents folks this is a parable and so Jesus uses a huge exaggeration that's a lot of money but for as much as the man didn't have a thing to pay his Lord commanded him to be sold and his wife and his children everything he had and payment to be made. So you think you have it tough because they repossess your car how would you like to have this kind of banking system where they sell you your wife and your kids and pay the thing off. Doesn't sound too good well the servant fell down and worship to me and say Lord have patience with me I'll pay it all actually the way this thing is worded the debt appears to be an impossible debt then a lot of that servant was moved with compassion Jesus said and loosed him and forgave the Dead Now notice what happens it was not really restructured to dead it was written off and it was huge. So our man having been released and having been let go and now going out of debt free goes out and finds one of his fellow servants that owed him 100 pence now he's got a debt considerably less than 110000th of the one he had just had written off you thought this guy said oh hey hey forget it I just had a debt wiped out I'm Guy can sure let that one go but no he took him by the throat and said You pay me what you owe and his fellow servant filled out his feet and said oh please have patience with me and I will pay you all you would have thought he would have remembered those his own words to the other man but no he went and cast him into prison until the debt was paid the 1st man was merciful the 2nd man was not what happened. Well his fellow servants saw what he did and they were very sorry and they came and they told their Lord what was done. Now there's a little dynamic at work here that's worth really thinking hard about because other people see what you do they notice your mercy they notice your lack of mercy and these things register on them and they have an effect on the way they deal with you and the way you they talk about you behind your back where they told the Lord what was done is Lord after you called him said to him You wicked servant I forgave you all that debt for no other reason than that you asked me to do it don't you think you should have had compassion on your fellow servant like I had compassion on you and he was angry and he delivered into the tormentors to he should pay all that was due to him then Jesus concluded by saying so likewise shall my Heavenly Father do unto you if you from your hearts don't forgive everyone his brother their trespasses or as James put it he shall have judgment without mercy lay showed no mercy you know this is really spooky in a way because it suggests that having been forgiven if we refuse to forgive others we can bring our own sin back on our own heads.

So how do we find good favor and good understanding in the side of both God and man Solomon says Let not mercy and truth forsake you tie them around your neck write them on the table of your heart that means get them internalized to where it's a part of your life truth we understand and it comes to Mercy making a principle of your life to give every man a break when it is in your power to do it oh yes I know you'll be disappointed once in a while but you will be on the right side of the ledger of mercy I guess there is one James said that he will have judgment without mercy who has showed no mercy. And of course apart from God's Ledger he won't make nearly so many enemies you'll make a lot of friends. Ok what else to Solomon have to tell us well here's a dandy beginning in verse 5 trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths be not wise in your own eyes fear the Lord and depart from evil and what's the result it shall be healthier naval and marrow to your bones I mean we're talking about something to really help your health and to have God actually directing your pads how do you do this well the 1st way is don't be such a smart alec. Take a little while and realize that you don't have all the answers and you're going to have to go somewhere for them trust God and He will direct your pants now this is really a tough admonition to take to heart especially when you're a born problem solver you want these people to see a challenge I've got to meet that challenge I have to resolve it I have to conquer it but look if you will just take a moment to consult God about it it'll work a whole lot better I do I mean in prayer Well yes I do mean in prayer but I don't mean only then I mean if you will just take a moment to consult the law the teachings the principles and the character of God as they are displayed for you in the Bible you will be much stronger in making your decision in solving your problem you have tools to work with that you don't have right now don't lean to your own don't trust your own understanding it can break on you trust God acknowledge him how do you do that if flop open the Bible to say how would God handle this does God have any instructions on this well all I can hear you saying right now well I don't know where to look the reason you don't know where to look is because you haven't been looking you can't just go to the Bible at some moment in time you've got a problem goes thumbing through it and hope you fall on something you've got to study the book as a part of your life you've got to internalize it you've got to write it on your heart as the Bible says that's how with a tough problem comes along you will know where to go in the Bible now there is such a thing as supernatural direction from God but as far as this proverbs concerned it could be as natural as sunrise and sunset there is a wealth of wisdom in print from God Why in the world should you think you come down here and whisper in your ear. Well you haven't even dealt with what has long since given you and put in print and have on paper right in front of you use that and it will direct your paths read the Bible think about what you read try 1st to apply it to any problem you face you do that and you will always have a leg up on the competition. How would you like to ensure that you always have plenty of food and drink but you always have enough of the things your family needs I'm not talking about wealth I'm just talking about security. Solomon's got an answer for this one too Proverbs 3 verse 9. Honor the Lord with your substance and with the 1st fruits of all your increase so show your barns be filled with plenty and your press is shell burst out with new wind. Oh so I'll have plenty of food for my animals my family my wine new wine being made from my wine presses and it was all my my produce is going to be very effective if I honor the Lord with my substance what does that mean well it means giving something to God. You know selfishness never works the man who is trying to get him to keep everything he can for himself is going to end up spiritually impoverished and cramped little man he will always be a loser no matter how much money he's got. Whatever God gives to us increase honor him with the 1st of it that's what Solomon is saying here how much is there a standard somewhere yeah there is a 10th of a good old fashioned ties out you say will that be hard to do give 10 percent of everything God gives me I give it back to him I suppose it is but if you ever hear of a thing called faith you just have to sometimes do it because God says so and trust him that what Solomon says here in Proverbs 39 and 10 will come to pass and Jesus said much the same thing so don't just assume this is Old Testament and Jesus in Luke 12 verse 131 of the company said to a master would you speak to my brother that he had divide our inheritance with me and he said man who made me a judge or divider over you and he went on to say take heed and be ware of covetousness for a man's life does not consist in the abundance of the things that he possesses. You know it's it's easy to forget nowadays when we have so much stuff we have our houses in our cars and our stereos and furniture and everything around us is all you know accumulations of things and it's easy to forget that those things are not your life. That life is something far more important than that in fact this may be the 1st lesson of tithing let go of something which you this stuff is not a life and he spoke a parable to them saying a certain rich man had a great ground and it brought forth plentifully and he thought within himself saying What shall I do I don't have any room to bestow all the stuff my my ground has brought forth this year and the ponds are full what I'm going to do with all this well I know what I'll do I'll pull down my barns and build bigger ones and I'll put all my stuff in there I'll say to my soul soul you have much goods laid up for many years take your easy to drink be merry but God said to him You fool this night your soul shall be required of you then whose shall these things be which you have provided. And Jesus finished by saying so is he that lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God. The message Look friend and you can lie down to die tonight then where's all this stuff going to be who's going to get your stereo who's going to have your Pontiac Trans-Am who's going to pick up all these things and maybe pick up the payment you've got on him where is all this stuff going when you die. Doesn't matter much really he that lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God is a man who just doesn't understand that your life doesn't consist in the possessions that you will. I'll be back after these words boy a free copy of this radio program that you can share with friends and others write or call this week only and request a program titled making life work number 14 write to born to women Post Office Box 560 White House Texas 75791 or call toll free one a day date Bible 44 and tell us the callers of this radio station now you know as you walk with God that you are not going to get everything right how would you like to have a little help with a course correction now and then maybe a little elbow in the ribs that says don't do that perhaps an attitude adjustment when you just can't find it in yourself to make the change that you absolutely know you must make but you just haven't been able to do it how would you like to have a little help well Solomon suggest that you will get that help but it's important I think for you to expect it and to be responsive to it when it comes that's why Solomon in verse 11 says this My son despise not the chastening of the Lord neither be weary of his correction for whom the Lord loves he corrects even as a Father the Son in whom he did lights. So there is some discipline in the walk with God There is a little chastisement that comes our way from time to time and I suspect that that chastisement is going to smart just a little bit now here's the hard part of all the disasters that strike our lives of all the pain which of them are chastisement and which of them are just. Bad luck you're in the wrong place at the wrong time that's always been troubling to me and I've wondered when things weren't going right is this my fault is this chances that luck is the chastisement what's going on here and I've learned something ald share it with you. You can treat all these disasters that strike exactly the same you take it you pray about it you think about it you consider what you can learn from the experience and you look at the changes you need to be making in your life and you have a go at them. And you're in good shape if you do this you'll be in the shape of one who does not despise the chastening of God and who isn't weary of God's correction you're one who is really trying to get it right and is willing to listen when God speaks no matter how subtle he is when he talks now all these examples I've given you are really good at helping you understand the importance of wisdom of coming to realize that there is a way of life that works better than all other ways that it really is good to gain wisdom and Solomon goes on to say Happy is the man that finds wisdom and the man that gets understanding because the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver and the gain there of then find gold there lot of reasons for this one of the reasons for it is because you live better you feel better you feel better about yourself you feel better about your neighbor you're happier because your neighbors like you instead of being sullen toward you you just get along better in the world and the funny thing about it is you even tend to do better in the silver and gold department with wisdom. Wisdom she is more precious than rubies and all the things that you can desire are not to be compared to her really yeah links of days is in her right hand you want to live a long time in her left hand is riches and honor you want to be respected and fairly well to do and to have enough money and food and so forth His wisdom her ways are ways of pleasantness all good aspects beautiful views instead of having a walk around in the sewers of life and all her paths are peace you don't have to fight with your neighbor you don't have to be in bickering with people all the time wisdom she is a tree of life to them that lay hold on her and happy is everyone that holds on to her. If you want to know how great wisdom is. The Lord by wisdom is found in the earth by understanding he has established the heavens by his knowledge the depths are broken up in the clouds drop down the do what an example of wisdom this world is that we live on what an incredible balance what a beautiful design this is a real classic of someone who knows how to make things work so when you get a chance to learn from the one that knows how to make things work Solomon says My son don't let these things depart from your eyes hang on to sound wisdom and discretion their life to your soul their grace to your neck they they make you look good you're going to be safe and your football and stumble when you lie down you won't be afraid you'll lie down and your sleep will be sweet he had the winners get a good night's sleep the losers get to toss and turn. You may have thought that some people are just luckier than others that all these good things are handed to those people on the silver platter and you're just an unlucky slob and you would be wrong you have choices to make and it is those choices that can turn a loser into a winner the Born to Win radio program with Ronald Eldar it is sponsored by Christian educational ministries and made possible by donations from listeners like you if you can help please send your donation to born to women Post Office Box 560 White House Texas 75791 you may call us at 1888 Bible 44 and visit us online at Born to Win dot net.
