Good day to all my brothers out there.
Good day. This is brother Parker with another
episode of Kingdom in Action podcast.
Thank you for joining me today to share
in the word of God.
I hope everybody's doing well. I hope everybody
is is healthy and fine. Their families are
fine.
And so,
this is our last
installment for our monthly,
dive into the book of Proverbs,
and I called it the wisdom of Proverbs.
We did it for the whole month of
July,
and this is wrapping it up. So this
is the last one.
And
you know what? It's sad because I could've
done this for the rest of the year.
It's I mean, it's just so much in
Proverbs. I was just picking out different scriptures,
but, actually, I can just go the whole
year
through Proverbs and have something for every day.
So we may come back to it.
But I picked this last one out. It's
in,
verse 8,
and it's,
I'm sorry. Chapter
18
verse 2. Chapter 18 verse 2.
And I'm calling this one, everyone has an
opinion.
Everyone
has an opinion.
So
we're in chapter 18 verse 2 and verse
2 read as follows.
Fools find no pleasure in understanding,
but delight
in airing their own opinions.
Boy, do we have a lot of that
going on? Let me read that one more
time.
Fools find no pleasure
in understanding,
but they delight
in airing their own opinions.
Everybody
has an opinion.
It's just the fact that nobody accepts nobody
opinion. Everybody has an opinion about everything,
but never really has the inside story to
even make a sound
opinion
on the subject.
And so
a fool finds no pleasure understanding. He's not
gonna understand what you're saying. He wants you
to see it his way.
But a wise man,
a wise man, a righteous man
is he knows when to be silent.
He knows when to listen,
and he knows when to speak.
That's what you get out of god's word.
God teaches us that a lot of times
you're better off just keeping your mouth shut
and your ears open.
You don't need to speak on every subject
that comes out.
Oh my god. It's the the
the Internet,
the YouTube channels, they're filled with with 1,000
and 1,000 and thousands of people
posting their
comments and opinions
on every little subject that comes up from
the on TikTok and on Instagram,
on Facebook.
Everybody's
posting their
opinion.
But
are they even listening to what's going on?
It's good to have an opinion. It's good
to have insight. It's good to have some
kinda understanding.
But you got to have the you have
to have the information. You have to have
what you're talking about. You have to know
the whole story. See, that's the whole thing.
People give their opinions, and they don't know
the whole story.
And so God teaches us to,
you know, know when to talk. What's the
what what's the song? Know when
when know when to hold and know when
to run that the gambler song with, Kenny
Rogers, you know. You got to know when
to hold up and all that other stuff.
You got to know, but you won't know
unless you start reading the word of God.
Because God will give you that wisdom wisdom
to let you know that just sometimes you
need to just sit
back and let the the the people speak,
let them say whatever.
And if there's a place for you to
give an opinion, then you give your opinion.
But if not,
so be it. Because most people that are
very boisterous in their opinion, you can speak
to them. They're not gonna hear what you
got to say because they're already
set in whatever they're thinking of the situation
is. They're already set in their ways. And
so all you're gonna do is have an
argument back and forth.
That's why men of God, they they they
know how to discuss and talk things and
see things from another person's viewpoint.
Because what you're looking at might not be
the actual viewpoint.
And then if somebody else is pointing out
something that you need to add to your
judgment in this decision making that you're making,
you need to be open to that. And
that's what God would do for you. It
opens up your mind and gives you
it gives you discernment. It gives you a
chance to evaluate the situation.
It lets you monitor what's going on. Again,
it also lets you know when if you're
listening to the holy spirit, the holy spirit
will tell you when to shut your mouth.
People will be talking and and he'll let
you know. Just shut up. Don't say nothing.
Shut. Just shut up. Don't say nothing
because it's not worth it. When it's time
to speak, you'll know when it's time to
speak, give your opinion,
and move on. So anyway,
brothers, I've really enjoyed this month
of going through Proverbs
and just pulling out different scriptures.
There's more. There's more in Proverbs.
Please take time to look through Proverbs and
read it as your daily study
or whenever you're in the scriptures.
Look through Proverbs.
It's it's
the
wisdom in Proverbs,
the
the the the word I'm looking for,
the the principles there you go.
Getting old hurts. The principles
in Proverbs,
even though they were written back in that
time,
still applies to this time. The principles
the principles of what they're trying to tell
you applies
today. That's why the word of god,
it applies yesterday,
today,
and in tomorrow. It's it's for all times.
It's eternity that this word
will
be good
to use in your daily lives. So
thank you for sharing.
