(Lesson 1)

The Nature of Wisdom

So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every

opportunity in these evil days. Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants

you to do.

Ephesian 5: 15-17

Two Things Wise People Do!

We all have been given a PURPOSE for our lives.

We are most FILLED when we are fulfilling our purpose.

Not everyone UNCOVERS their God-given purpose.

Our purpose is BUILT from our personal inward design.

We will be JUDGED on our obedience to our God-given calling in life.

The Life You Were Meant to Live

My son, eat honey, for it is good, and the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste. 

Know that wisdom is such to your soul; if you find it, there will be a future,

and your hope will not be cut.

Proverbs 24:13-14
