Seeking Wisdom: Proverbs - Heart

Takeaways:

1.      Obeying God can be one of the hardest things we ever try to do.

2.      God doesn’t make us obey – that would defeat the definition of obedience as willful submission – but He commands it.

3.      For every spiritual encouragement to actively obey Him by removing hindrances to that obedience, there is a contrary, selfish desire telling us to rely on our own abilities.

4.      Our abilities are like swinging a dull axe with unrealistic expectations for success.

5.      Wisdom is taking the sharpened axe and removing all resistance to God’s will.
