Go ahead, Josh. We got that open that we've been trying to finish for about two weeks. Amen. And we finally had three healthy individuals working on Saturday. All together at one time. Yeah. We've been out. Jordan was out for a week. And then our other guy got food poisoning for a few days. So I had to play fill-in for the last two weeks. And I'm really glad to be back in the office. Everybody's fine and dandy. Well, that's wonderful. Mary, go ahead. Yeah, just saying that I had a wonderful week this week. I've been blessed. God has been good to me. I just want to give Him the praise. Cool. Cool. Zach? Our trip to and from Georgia, we made it. Amen. Well, I have praise myself. I actually managed to get health and weather and mechanical stuff done. so that I could get out in the sunshine and do some fishing yesterday. And yeah, it was, we had a good time. I still couldn't find that mysterious reef that's supposed to be out there that the state keeps talking about, but we tied up on a rig and caught five bull reds about that long piece. The smallest one was 31 inches, and then they got bigger after that. But we got everybody on the boat caught one or someone caught two. But anyway, we'll, we'll, we'll forget about that. But no, yeah, just it's not bragging. If you could do it, they say so I don't know if that's really true or not. But who else has a price? Vicki? Well, thanks to you choosing to go fishing, I got to spend some wonderful quality time with a good friend of mine, namely your wife, and we had a really great time with fellowships, and we hung out and went shopping, got to go to a flea market and the mall, and we had a lot of fun. Yeah, it was awesome. See, that's the price I pay for going fishing. My wife goes shopping. Hey, you know, we went to like three different places and I spent $20 all day and that included giving some away. Well, I can't really argue about it because the cost of her shopping and the cost of my fishing, Probably don't match up real well, but anyway. Anyhow, it was, I had a great time yesterday, and Lord really, really blessed. It was a wonderful time out, and the sunshine was just, it didn't get as warm as it was supposed to be, and it didn't stay as calm as it was supposed to be, but it was still a great day. Had a wonderful time. Who else? Darrell, how you doing, man? Good to see you. Well, I just want to praise the Lord for things are going pretty smooth at work. Since we've made some changes and it's like God's liking it. So I'll be doing something right. Cool. So praise the Lord for that. And smooth in a mechanic shop is got to be a real high up there praise. Could be better, but always get better. Yeah, that's that's for sure. That's for sure. Karen, good to see you back. Thank you. I was laying there thinking, either wish I drove with the plateau or I don't know. And Shirley came in and said, we're going to church. And she's here. What? Praise the Lord. Wow. And she's here. Amen. Cool. All right. Well, it can be done. That's what that rooster said. Ladies, I'm not telling you what to do, but I just want to show you what can be done. I'll tell you what. Who else? Any other praises? No, you're not. You're alive. You've been sick. I had the flu. Yeah, yeah. Go ahead, Gilbert. Yeah, I praise God for allowing me to do the work I did. I had a tree living over the house, an oak tree about 50 feet high. The trunk was about maybe 15 foot in diameter. And I was able to make the cuts on the wedges where the tree came down and then he rolled out and landed about 10 feet away from the house. Did you say 15 feet in diameter? No, no. 50 foot high. That's a tall. About 15 inches. 15 inches. Anyway, Vicky, what's your praise? You had another one I see. Praise God that while it's a good thing that Keith's faith is contagious and that everybody else around the church seems to be getting past their contagion and we're all starting to get well. Bubba's finally got over that cough and I'm very glad he's been sick since before Christmas, though. I'm kind of thankful for that and seeing Andrew back and everybody that's been missing from Well, yeah, it is. Spring is coming. Spring is like a, I think God gives us spring as a symbol of hope. That's a renewal, yeah. I mean, it's like, okay, all right, start over. Let's just start over. Okay, here we go. I love it when the weather starts to change and sun starts to shine and new beginnings. It's cool. Vicki? of an unexpected praise. I have a passion vine that I talk about that goes in my back fence. And I went out the other day, it wasn't even February yet, it's like January 28th, and there were two beautiful red blooms. And usually at this time of year my passion vine is nothing but dead foliage. All the way to the ground. I cut it all the way back and move it off the fence and it comes back every year. But this year it hasn't died and it bloomed in January. This year is passionate. Cool. It's gonna be a passion year. Amen. Jesus could come this year. I mean, this could be the one. Larissa, what's your praise? My praise is that I had a super busy weekend. I've been all over the place, serving in different ways, and fellowshipping, and spending time with friends. And I just praise God that I'm able to do that, and that I have a husband that has been supportive of me. He has had to spend most of the weekend without me, so. I'm afraid I can't do fishing. Well, Bubba was praising the Lord for that a few minutes ago. Bubba doesn't have three little kids right now. Yeah. Yeah, fine. Yeah, well, you know. Yeah, you had them. Another praise is I just had a little conversation with Zach this morning. How many we got on the list for softball so far, Zach? Close to 30, I think. Oh, she has it right here. Wow. So we're staffing two full teams with spares. Three, I mean, if they keep coming. Three. I'm telling you, this is- We just have to beg people to play. This could be exciting. I mean, fun. You know, I'd love to walk out there and say, now listen, some of you no-goods-get-saved, you could play ball like this. If Jesus could do this for us, he could do this for you, too, you know, so. It hasn't been working quite that way yet, but you never know. All right, anybody else? Don't be shy. This is the part Jesus gets. Yes, Jerry. Praise the Lord that he brought me here to Loud House Baptist Church. Amen. Praise the Lord. Third. Amen. Fourth. Life is full of problems. It's full of mistakes and full of consequences. And even after we're saved, that doesn't really change. The mistakes become different kinds of mistakes and the consequences are laced with mercy. But life still comes after you. And Satan is alive and well. He's never had the flu. That's not right. He should have to have the flu a couple of times too. But the Lord, I will never leave thee nor forsake thee. Sometimes the Lord calms the storm, and sometimes the Lord lets the storm rage and calms his child. That is so true. The Lord doesn't always take the storms away. He'll let them rage, but those storms, those are the things that grow us. Those are the things that mature us into who God is bringing us, creating us to be. Yeah, amen. There's a lot more profit for the kingdom of God that comes out of the storms than comes out of the mountaintop experiences when it's all cool. But it sure is wonderful to finally get out of the depth of a valley and get to spend a little time up where the sun shines. Amen. What a blessing. And we wouldn't appreciate it near as much if it wasn't for those storms and those valleys. So our praise level is fixing to go up. Vicki? I have a saying in my bedroom that says life's not about waiting for the storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain. We need to show the people that that God is not just there when it's sunshiny, but that he blesses us even when it's raining and we should be thankful for the blessings. Yeah, I'm probably not going to use that illustration much, though, because people I know say, hey, look at there. He didn't have sense enough to come in out of the rain. But I know what you mean. And you're right. All right, let's get into Proverbs this morning. I want to review a little bit of the stuff we went through last week and look at a couple of other things that we're getting ready to learn. Let me just tell you this, by the way. If you get serious, and I'm not suggesting that you're not. I know you are because I've seen the changes and the fruit from it. But if you get serious about applying what you learn in these proverbs to your life, it changes everything when the storm comes. It will transform your life. in ways that you just can't even imagine until you're there watching God do it. And you get to see some of those things. We had started out last week with the fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom, that's verse 33 of chapter 15. And before honor is humility. Now humility is not really very popular, I don't mind telling you. It's hard to find much of that. And I wanted to go back and just ask you, If you have a pride problem, and the only thing that keeps you from humility is a pride problem, I don't know if you realize that or not, and sometimes we think we're humble when we're proud of how humble we are. So, you know, what happened to us? You know we got off track somewhere if you have a pride problem and if you aren't Practicing and living in a environment of humility. Let's put it that way Well, what's God gonna do with that? What do you think he's going to do if that's a problem with one of his children? Yeah Debased yeah The Lord is going to do to us a what cowboys do to colts that are rebellious and don't want to break to the saddle. God is going to break you. That's what he does. It's a breaking. It's just it's just like breaking a horse or something of that nature. He's going to put you through things. You anybody know what what the term sack you out means? I didn't think anybody would know that, but you kind of have to spend some time out west to know that. One of the things that a horse hates is for something to be put on their back. They hate it. They despise it. Of course, they have to be broken, quote, to get over that and to learn to enjoy that. But what some of the cowboys do is they will take a sack and literally beat that horse with it. Now, I'm not talking about harm the horse or even hurt the horse. I'm talking about just every time you put that sack, this horse shies away and he's mad. It makes him angry. And he just keeps on with it. Finally, after long enough, they'll just, they finally just give up and just stand there and just let you, you know, let you do it. They finally realized, well, it's not really hurting me, and it takes the rebellious spirit out of the horse. I have noticed over my years, and by the way, some people don't learn from their years, and some people do, and I have not learned nearly enough from my years that I should have, but I have learned a few things. But one of the things I've learned from my years is that God will sack you out. he will keep hitting you with the same stuff. And you just, and make you mad, and you get you upset, and even make you mad at him. Ever been mad at God? He will just keep on until finally you just, I give up. And God says, good. Now you're ready to listen. So if it just keeps coming, and every time you think you got a little bit of relief, here it comes again, God's gonna sack you out until you get that problem, whatever it is that he's working on, until you get past it and give up. And then humility you can wear. And then you can be proud of how humble you are, I guess. I'm joking about that part. Go ahead, Drew. I want to point out that another verse, and from my own personal experience, the Lord isn't doing that because... He wants to beat you. The Lord does that because it puts you in a place where you're back in fellowship with Him because that's where you have the love and the joy and the peace and the good things that you're missing out on by not being humble. The other verse says that He exalts the humble. So it's not so that we can just take a beating or look at God as somebody that hurts us. It's so that We can be exalted by him in that state of being humble and so that he can bless us to where he couldn't. Amen. Yeah. It's the discipline of the Lord is never to harm us. And you know the shepherd. The Bible. David talks about the Lord anointing the broken bones. Well that's what a shepherd has to do sometimes. You've got a lamb that's rebellious. keeps running off and going here and there. You know, we got kids to do that. And, and, huh? Well, God can. There's no CPS is going to take authority over God. And, yeah, the shepherd, take a little lamb, put him down on a rock and take another rock and snap that leg bone. bad. It's hard. It hurts. It's terrible. But he'll bind it up. But but the running off. It don't happen anymore. And yeah, it's you've heard parents talk about it hurts me more than it does you. Well, the shepherd has to carry that lamb now. And you've seen the idea of a shepherd having lamb stretched over. Well, that's why. and God will do that to you. Maybe if I said it differently God will do that for you. Because is he doing it for him or is he doing it for the land. What's going to happen if the land keeps running off. Wolf lion. Holy falls in a cliff he falls off brambles he gets tangled up in stars to death. All that stuff happens to God's children when they're off running off away from God and rebelling. And God will do what it takes. And you can count on it. But you know how I know you can count on it. Because the Bible says in Hebrews twelve that God chastens every son whom he receives and that's generic ladies daughters to every son whom he receives. And a matter of fact he says if you don't receive any chastening Then you better go back and check on the fact if you really put your trust in the Lord or not because if you receive no chastening from God you are bastards and not sons. You're not really one of his children. And I didn't write that didn't make that up. The fear of the Lord truly is the instruction of wisdom. A lot of people say well I don't fear the Lord. I mean he's a loving God. He wouldn't do my answer to that is. You are out of your mind you do not know him because he will the woodshed of God is got tools in it. And he will use whichever one on you it takes to get the job done. I want to go back and just review that a little bit and just talk about that this morning and now as we move back through this. We talked about the preparations of the heart of man and the answer of the tongue being from the Lord last week. Hang on just a minute. I want to go over here to. Twenty one. We associated that verse and that's if you if you try to understand that verse is standing alone. You're going to have a little trouble with it. The preparations of the heart of the heart in man and the answer of the tongue is from the Lord. You say God makes you. Say what you say God makes you feel what you feel. What about all those times that we don't feel things that are. We know God would be pleased about. What are those times. You see what I mean about hard to understand. The preparation of the heart and man and the answer of the tongue is from the Lord. If you go down to verse nine which we haven't gotten to yet. But a man's heart devises his way, but the Lord directs his steps Yeah, you figure out from your heart of hearts the way you want to go and how you want to handle it and the way you're going to feel and and Who you're going to forgive and who you're not and who all these different things that people? come up with out of their heart and God says yeah, you're going to devise your way and But I'm going to be the one that determines where you walk. I'm going to be the one that directs your steps. And I don't think we realize how much power the Lord has over our heart. You remember what Jeremiah said about our heart. And we're not talking blood pump here. We're talking the innermost aspect of what we feel and believe and think and That's thing. Yeah, it's hardly said it the heart is deceitful above all things And desperately wicked now, that's the wait a minute Lord, you're not talking about my heart Surely Lord my heart is More crooked than any other thing above all things more wicked Yeah, and desperately wicked That's the natural state of a man's heart. It really is. So when you hear on TV and Oprah tells you to follow your heart, oh my. Well, that might not be the best advice you've gotten in a while. But I want to run over to chapter 21 right now just for a minute. And the first two verses deal with what we're studying here and probably have some more information we could use. It's all about the king. We're going to talk about the king or the leaders that lead our society a little bit more down here. When we get down in verse 10 a divine sentence is in the lips of the king. His mouth transgresses not in judgment that's down in verse 10 we haven't got there yet but it's coming but it has to do It has to do with the heart. In verse 1 of 21, it says, the king's heart is in the hand of the Lord. Now, that makes me think, well, Lord, if the king's heart is in your hand, I wonder what, I wonder where the pastor's heart is. It's in the hand of the Lord, too. And your heart. is also in the hand of the Lord. That doesn't mean that everything that you come up with out of your quote heart is godly. It just means that the Lord's in control. Said the heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord as the rivers of water. He turneth it whether so ever he will. You mean some of those decisions that that Obama made were God's will. Well what about that first thing that he ever signed when he first took office in his first term that funded worldwide abortions instead of just here. You remember that everybody stop talking about that real quick because the news is candid. So we wouldn't talk about it anymore. You mean that was of the Lord. Anything that wrong and that evil. The Lord is in charge. Of everything. He really is. You think he's not, you will learn as time goes on that he is in charge. It doesn't mean that we can just forget about us doing right and following right paths and making right decisions, but when the bottom line comes, God's in charge, Joshua. Is it kind of like when Jesus was going on the cross, I'm sure at that time, everyone was there, all the prophets that were there and everything, and we're thinking how dark of a time it was, how the devil has control, you know, because our Messiah's going on the cross around killing. Yeah. But in reality, that's exactly what had to happen so that we'd be saved. If it didn't happen, we could never make it to heaven. Exactly. That's a great illustration of it. It really is. Good job. Good job. And then in verse two, it comes right back to what we're talking about today. Every way of man is right in his own eyes. It's amazing how we can justify anything and everything that we do. But the Lord pondereth the hearts. But the Lord pondereth the hearts. And then God tells us all the ways of man. The next verse it really coincides with the second verse after in Chapter 21. All the ways of man are clean in his own eyes. That's almost exactly what he told us in 21, isn't it? But the Lord weigheth the spirits. And then he inserts this one verse which is the most efficient way to take action against your own sin, against your own issues, against your own problems. against the things that God tells you is holding you back, not necessarily what you may think is holding you back. This answer is, quote, the thing to do when you don't know what to do. Commit thy works unto the Lord and thy thoughts shall be established. All the ways of man are clean in his own eyes. Well, if you want your thoughts to be established, if you want to Stop thinking about that drug that you're addicted to or that bottle that you're addicted to or that overeating that we're addicted to or that attitude problem that we're addicted to. And I could go on with the list all the way. You know you could probably help me with the list too. You've probably got some maybe new ones I wouldn't have put on the list. But if you will commit your works to the Lord what you think about. is going to change. You're going to force yourself to think about some good things here by doing that. Clarissa, you had your hand up. We were just talking about this yesterday. Talking about whenever I was living in the world and lost and doing awful things, I still thought I was a good person somehow. But it wasn't until I got saved, got busy for God, that my, what does it say? My thoughts were established, and I realized, wow. All those ideas about how good you were. Yeah. Got exchanged for truth. For the truth, and then I'm able now to understand where I am, and so I can become better. Yeah, amen, amen. Tyler, was that a hand up, or did I just miss something? Okay, it was, all right, Andrew and then Vicki. I'm just looking at 16 more where it says the preparation part and the answer of the tongue is from the Lord. I Every other version, ESV, NASV, CSV, Amplify, all of them, they read it that the preparations of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord. I'm wondering, is there something like in the Old English that we're missing there, or where they all are translating it differently? Preparations of the heart in man Timothy if your desire in your heart that God will make the way Well, that's psalm 37 Over here in 21, it says, every way of man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord pondereth the heart. So we're in the human existence is this idea that what I'm doing, I can justify as being right for me. You know, there's that thing that we have in our culture today. Well, that's right for me. No, it's either right or it's wrong. It's not what's right for you is wrong for somebody else. That doesn't work unless maybe it'd be a food you should not eat like you're allergic to it. But this is not talking about what's in the heart of man. It's talking about the preparations of the heart of man. Preparations prepared for what? The whole thing here is a man coming from a wicked heart. What's it say? Deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Coming from that to thinking that everything's right in his own eyes, but the Lord's way in the spirits and in the instruction to commit your works unto the Lord and thy thoughts shall be established. The thoughts of what? The thoughts of your heart. And it's basically a journey from here you are and God is, does God When the Lord is taking you from lost to saved, does He show you how good you are? Because you're not. He shows you how vile you are. And that is the Lord preparing your heart to be renewed, preparing your heart for you to be changed. No, I don't think that the new ideas, sometimes these aren't translations. Sometimes these are opinions that are just inserted by the writers. I'm going to stay with the old path here. Every time I, you know, begin to work my way through it and to really study it, I always get back to what's here. And there's no translation that's perfect, by the way. Now we come into today's lesson. We've committed our works to the Lord so that our thoughts shall be established. Let me just let's stay on it for a minute. There's an aspect of this that is one that I don't think that we could be like proud of. But it's it's a tool it works. The Bible tells us in Romans that we should make not provision for our flesh to fulfill the lust thereof. In other words. You normally, by your human nature, you're going to set yourself up to be able to sin, to be able to do what you want to do right or wrong. You plan it. Drug addicts plan to be in the right place in the right time to be able to buy the drugs. Alcoholics plan to have access to their bottle. That's why they hide them all over the place. People plan to do what they're going to do. Well when you commit your works to the Lord. You can't really go do what your flesh wants to do because you're already committed over here doing what's right. It's the value of replacing the wrong with the right. The worst mess you are the busier you need to be. For the Lord. What's that tell you about pastors. We have to stay busy for the Lord. No joy around here. Our nature would would take us to the. Lord only knows where. And the way the way we defeat our flesh nature is to commit our works to the Lord. I have to be right with the Lord. Before I come in here. and do my job for the Lord. I have to. If I come in here out of fellowship with the Lord and seething over what happened to this occasion and what happened with that person and who did what to me, you know, I couldn't hide it. And I'd have to hide it to be able to see the deals, how it works. It forces you to walk with the Lord. If you get a little bit of this wisdom That's back up here in verse 33 and the fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom and before honor is humility If I don't keep doing what God has called me to do and placed me in a position to do Just like gravity. I will fall right back into the old whatever it was it's the way it works and so therefore I cannot allow myself to stay out of fellowship with God everybody gets out of fellowship with God you're going to get out of fellowship with God before this day so I mean well you might not you know somebody here might do a really good job of staying with the Lord but most of you somebody is going to say something or traffic or something and it's going to it's going to cause you to go somewhere in here or whatever, you know how it works, because you've been living it every day of your life. If they stay in fellowship with the Lord all day, they'll probably be real proud of it. Yeah. There you go. I rest my case. That was pretty well illustrated. And so you need to be in submission to serving God. And then the next one, everyone that's with a proud heart is an abomination. Well, yeah, just wait till we get there. Jerry already illustrated verse five. Go ahead, Mark. Is that committing all your works to the Lord, so even the works that are secular in nature? Well, that's a really good question. I wish that you'd asked me that last week so I could have studied it more for this week. I think it has to be, doesn't it? I think so too, but it's not what it says here. Commit thy works unto the Lord. And, well, do we just serve the Lord here in church, or are we supposed to serve the Lord out there, too? I mean, that answers the question. All of the works that are committed to the Lord are not spiritual activities. Having somebody on your job, Joshua, that would stay focused on the task and think about what he's doing and to get it absolutely right, you think that would be of the Lord? Definitely. So, yes, it has to be that way. Go ahead, Harley. The New Testament covers that word through Wilmar. Ephesians chapter 6, verses 5 through, I can't remember where the end of it is. Servants, be obedient to them that you are masters according to the flesh with fear and trembling. in singleness of your heart as unto Christ. Amen. Yeah, definitely. Commit your works to the Lord. I remember, of course, this is an old story and I'm not going to get into repeating it, but I remember how broken I was because of one particular besetting sin that was evident in my life and it kept me from being and doing what God called me to do and wanted me to do. And it was horrible. It was it was one of the worst times of my life. Although most people would look at it and say well that's not that's so common. Why would you be such make such a big deal out of it. Well it was a big deal because it was a roadblock. I couldn't go any further. I mean I couldn't go any further till that was dealt with. And it's the works of the Lord that puts you in that position. It's an incredible blessing to be able to understand how much you need to serve the Lord. Does the Lord need you to serve him? No, he doesn't need you. He doesn't need me. He can pull me out of here and life is going to go on. He can put somebody in my place ten times what I've ever done. Or ten times worse. Well, that too, but. But God doesn't need me. He wants me. And he loves me. And he desires fellowship with me. Imagine that. Wait a minute. God wants to fellowship with you? I know you. Yeah, well, he sees how I'm going to be, not just how I am. So that kind of changes his perspective a little bit. And in verse 4, the Lord hath made all things for himself. Yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. Well, provided you're not one of those, and all the way through Proverbs we have learned to consistently understand that the righteous of the people that have a relationship with God they're saved people and the wicked are the ones that are not that's exactly who is talking about here provided that you're not one of the secondary phrase the wicked you need to know that the Lord has made you for himself how did he do that through the preparations of the heart and man. For one thing. The. Abilities that you have. And the disabilities that you have. We all have both. We all have both. And the way God made you. Is on purpose. You say well that means I can be fat because that's the way God made me. Or I can be lazy because that's the way God made me. Or I could you know well you could go there if you want to and and the tendencies that you have in your life are there from the Lord. They are there. And you get you get somebody says well how come how come I feel like I was born in the body of a of a man or the man says I feel like I was born in the. Yeah well you know that's. The heart of man is exactly like Jeremiah said it was and is and the Lord has prepared you for one thing to come out of there nobody got saved on accident nobody has been brought to Christ by some set of of coincidences you were set up it was all planned The preparations of your heart. All the things that you had to go through to get to that place where you really were in a position that you could listen and understand it. You were set up for all of that. And that all comes from. It's contained within the parameters of first one. And the preparations are still happening. It's still happening. It's it got us where we are today and it's still going on. And it's still happening. And the Lord is preparing us. Not for the life we're living now. God would God has been preparing me for this. No God is still preparing you for what's coming. The kingdom life. I can't even begin to get my head around that. It is going to be so incredible. Some of you are going to be doing things that you just can't even imagine that you'd ever be doing. But he still wants to use the preparations he's making for us today as well. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. The Lord has made all things for himself, yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. There is a day of evil coming. It's called tribulation. Everyone that is proud in heart. Now, before honor is humility. What's the opposite of humility? proud in heart. Everyone that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord. Oh, there's that a word abomination. And that's just that is such a strong. Everyone that is proud in heart is disgusting to the Lord. Is pride in the heart common? Yes. Is it common with lost people? But no, it would save people, right? Oh, don't we wish. There, I don't think a lot more so. I don't think more so, but certainly way more than every situation, virtually. I may, there may be an exception somewhere, but every situation where there's a rift between God's people or there is.
