Here's Day #2 of the Proverbs Class I'm teaching this week in East Asia.
I like to say that life is like pushing a shopping cart. Here in America, we have Walmart and when you come in the door at Walmart, they give you this big basket with wheels and you push it around. The same thing as E Mart or anywhere you live in the world. They have places like this, where you get a basket, and you can put anything that you see into your basket. If we’re not cautious, what we put in the basket of our life will get burned up.
1 Cor. 3:13, “each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures,” look at this, “he will receive a reward.”
The Book of Proverbs explains what to put in your basket. The Book of Proverbs explains what God wants our life to look like. Proverbs tells us when we revert to our old settings, the way we were born, in our lostness, our foolishness that what happens is, let me read it. Verse 15.
“If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss.” How to make sure your life, doesn’t get burned up.
The good news is that even though saved people can act foolish and their life gets burned up… what we do with our life, what’s in our basket… look at the end of verse 15,
“but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.”
Let’s take a moment to pray and ask the Lord to bless the second class.
Father in Heaven, I pray that you would open the eyes of our understanding, help us to understand the truth of your word. Especially as we explore the book of Proverbs and learn how to live life your way. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
(Proverbs-2; 201102)
