In western Christianity it is very easy to be led by behavior modification rather than the Lord's changing of your heart. We commonly think behavior change leads to life change. This misconception causes us to place band-aid's on internal bleeding, which does us no good. Proverbs 4:20-27 shows us the importance of the heart, as it directly impacts our thoughts, words, and actions; it shows us heart change that leads to life change.
How ought we respond to wisdom's invitation-- Proverbs 2-1-9 looks forward to the sermon in the midweek prayer meeting.

Remember the greek mythical character Medusa? How when someone looked at her they were turned to stone? Solomon makes a similar case today in Proverbs 4:10-19 for the path of the wicked, encouraging his audience to stay away from that path at all costs (lest their hearts become hardened like stone), and to embrace/walk a different path - that of wisdom.

True Happiness Love Returned Series Loving God With All Our Minds Happiness is profoundly impacted by our relationships, especially within our families. Proverbs teaches us that a wise child brings immense joy to their parents, while a foolish child causes grief. This insight reminds us of our actions and character's significant role in the happiness of those around us. Encouraging words and a cheerful demeanor can uplift those we love and improve their well-being. It's a call to invest in positive, supportive interactions within our families, cultivating an environment of joy and mutual encouragement. Joy, Gladness, and Health Proverbs highlights that wisdom guides us towards a fulfilling life and affects our health. A cheerful heart, described as “good medicine,” can improve physical and emotional well-being. Worry and a broken spirit, on the other hand, can sap our strength. This reminds us of the importance of maintaining a positive outlook and nurturing our mental and physical health through wisdom and encouragement. Pursuing Wisdom and Obedience Proverbs presents wisdom as more valuable than material wealth. It enriches our lives without bringing sorrow, and the hopes of the godly lead to happiness. By prioritizing wisdom and aligning our lives with God's principles, we set ourselves on a path to true and lasting joy. The blessings from the Lord gained through knowledge and obedience bring fulfillment and contentment beyond what earthly riches can offer. Happiness and the Well-being of Others Our pursuit of happiness should never come at the expense of others. Proverbs warns against rejoicing in the misfortune of others and highlights the consequences of injustice. True happiness involves empathy and kindness, ensuring our joy does not stem from the downfall of others but from our alignment with God's justice and love. Closing Reflection True happiness, as outlined in Proverbs, is deeply intertwined with wisdom, obedience to God, and righteous living. It's found in nurturing loving family relationships, maintaining mental and physical well-being, and ensuring our happiness does not come at the expense of others. We embrace a fulfilling and everlasting joy by aligning our lives with these principles. Prayer Heavenly Father, I thank You for the wisdom found in Your Word. Help me to seek Your guidance in all aspects of my life and to cultivate joy through my relationships and actions. Grant me a cheerful heart and a positive outlook, and may my happiness never come at the expense of others. Align my hopes and desires with Your will, and let Your blessings fill my life with true and lasting joy. In Jesus' name, Amen. -- Praise Tabernacle Dr. Joshua Kennedy, Pastor 2235 Ocean Heights Egg Harbor Township, NJ 08234 pastorjosh@praisetabernacle.com praisetabernacle.church (609) 927-4560(w), (609) 402-8869(c)

We tend to daydream about what we desire most. So what do you daydream about most? Is it money? Relationships? Success? You see it's in our pattern of thought that our greatest desires are revealed. It's in our daydreams, in our thoughts, where we can find out what we treasure most. In Proverbs 3:13-18, Solomon shows us what we should treasure & desire above all things. He shows us what we should wake up and go to bed thinking about…he shows us what we should find our minds drifting to in the middle of the day…he shows us what we should daydream about most. Enjoy the podcast :) If you have questions, you can email @ xplusonepodcast@gmail.com
Submission. Discipline. Correction. You read those words and how do you react? Do they have a more negative or positive connotation to them? Most people despise those words and what they mean to us. But are we to despise them? Or should we love them? In today's verses, Solomon shows us that asking God for less discipline & less correction, by refusing to submit to His authority, we are actually asking God to love us LESS, not more. Enjoy the podcast :) If you have questions, you can email me @ xplusonepodcast@gmail.com
Verses 5-10 in Proverbs 3 contain some of the most commonly quoted verses in the whole book by Christians.

Have you ever been offered or told of something great and your initial reaction was 'Why'? Like 'Why should I care about that' 'Why should that be of any importance to me?'.
