TOPIC: THE BEGINNING OF BRILLIANCE

TEXT: PROVERBS 9:1-12

MEMORY VERSE: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding” (PROVERBS 9:10).

 "How can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?" These were the words of young Joseph, a slave boy in Potiphar's house who was tempted to commit immorality by his master's wife (Genesis 39:9). Instead of yielding to fear and self-pity, he rejected the offer boldly in profound allegiance to God.

 Although this act of refusal eventually landed him in prison, little did he know that it was a step towards his greatness. God honoured him immensely with wisdom to interpret Pharaoh's dreams and that catapulted him to the position of Egypt's Prime Minister.

 God is our Creator. He has given all humans the mental capacity to enhance their existence through the application of wisdom. However, unsaved youths are more likely to exhibit earthly, sensual and devilish wisdom which eventually destroys them (James 3:15).

 A Christian youth is so privileged. With God in his heart to daily guide his decisions and actions, he thrives brilliantly on the path of goodness and honour. Godly youths do great exploits. Are you in desperate need of wisdom? Just live your life daily in holy reverence to God.

QUOTE: Godly youths do great exploits.

CHALLENGE: Seek God daily for divine wisdom.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, guide my steps in holiness today.
