He who walks with the wise grows wise,
but a companion of fools suffers harm.
Proverbs 13:20
Who or what do you walk with?
Who or what teaches you?
Is this influence Godly?
What or who in your life teaches you foolishness?
What will you do to avoid this?
Psalm 1: 1-3

I had some thoughts about prayer that I'd like to share. Funny thing was I had them while I was praying. It was more like, while I was praying and I was struck by the HUGE blessings that I receive when I pray.
My Pastor, two weeks ago preached on prayer and the memory verse for that week was 2 Chronicles 7: 14. In it God exhorts and challenges his people to pray and to 'seek my face'.
This one of the first blessings of prayer that I experience; namely it is a way that I can seek his face. I draw near to him when I pray and am, at times blessed by his presence so much so that I am brought to tears of gladness and praise, wonder and awe.
To be continued ...

Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still;
teach a righteous man and you will add to his learning.
Proverbs 9:9
Do you know what wisdom is?
Do you add to your wisdom?
Do you listen to those who would teach you?
Psalm 145: 1-2

Then I was the craftsman at his side.
I was filled with delight day after day,
rejoicing always in his presence,
rejoicing in his whole world
and delighting in mankind.
Proverbs 8:30-31
Who or what was this craftsman?
Is it as some say a reference to Christ?
John 1:3

Now then, my sons, listen to me;
pay attention to what I say.
Do not let your heart turn to her ways
or stray into her paths.
Many are the victims she has brought down;
her slain are a mighty throng.
Her house is a highway to the grave,
leading down to the chambers of death.
Proverbs 7: 24-27
What is adultery?
Why is it abhorrent to the Lord?
What is purity?
How pure are your thoughts?
How pure are your words?
How pure are your deeds?
Revelations 17: 1-6

"My son, keep your father's commands
and do not forsake your mother's teaching."
Proverbs 6:20
Were your parents wise?
Did they try to teach you?
What did they try to teach/give you?
Did you listen?
Do you still listen?
Do you give thanks to the Lord for them?
How do you love them?
