                                                 Mid-Week Update

                                                                           May 14th, 2025

​

     Welcome to the Mid-Week Update! I hope your week is going well and that you are not worn out from all the Spring cleanup! It is a wonderful time of the year and it is exciting to see new life springing forth.

​

     What is your source of wisdom? Wisdom can be found through formal education, life experiences, and training from a variety of sources. Spiritual wisdom can be found in the instruction that comes from Godly parents, church studies, and most importantly from God’s Word. Attaining wisdom can keep us from the harmful entanglements that seek to imprison or harm our wellbeing. Solomon in Proverbs 2: 6-16 offers us these thoughts on the benefits of wisdom,

​

                          “For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth comes knowledge and

                          understanding; He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield

                          to those who walk blamelessly, guarding the paths of justice and preserving

                          the way of His faithful ones. Then you will understand righteousness and

                          justice and equity, every good path; for wisdom will come into your heart, and

                          knowledge will be pleasant to your soul; prudence will watch over you; and

                          understanding will guard you. It will save you from the way of evil, from those

                         who speak perversely, who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways

                         of darkness, who rejoice in doing evil and delight in the perverseness of evil;

                         those whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways.” (NRSV)

​

     Formal education and training can provide the knowledge necessary for a fruitful career and the skills required to live life in a community. Spiritual wisdom helps us to live in God’s expectations, to grow in our personal relationship with Christ, and to avoid the harmful pitfalls of life. God’s Word will provide the instructions necessary for the situations we encounter in daily life. As faithful people of God, let us commit to daily devotions and Bible study in order to receive the full benefit of God’s wisdom.

​

May God Bless You!

Pastor Dan

Scripture Reading: 23rd Psalm (KJV)

​

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.   He maketh me to lie down in

green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my

soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear

no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:

thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness

and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the

house of the Lord forever.” (KJV)
