241. Walking in Humility (OT - #8) - David #1 March 6, 2023

Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley.  Today we will be going over Proverb 6.  I will then key in on verse 23 - For the commandment is a lamp, And the law a light;  Reproofs of instruction are the way of life.  Friends, we should take to heart the instruction that our parents give us.  If we listen to what our parents say, there is a very good chance that we can avoid serious mishaps in our life.  Today I will continue my study on people in the OT who walked in humility.  Today we will begin the story of a young man named David.  He is found in the Book of 1 Samuel.  In Chapter #16, verse 7 we are told that God does not look at the outward appearance, but He looks at the heart.  I suggest we do the same.  I will then go over 1 Samuel, Chapter #17 and go over verses 26 & 29.  In these two verses, David is rebuked by his older brother Eliab for coming to the battlefield and checking on him and David's other two brothers.  However, David is not swayed by this rebuke.  Instead, he challenges the army of Israel to realize that the giant Goliath is nothing that the God of Israel can't take care of.  As a result, when we get to verses 48-51 of that same chapter, David runs toward Goliath with a sling-shot and a stone and kills him!  CALL to ACTION - I ask everyone to ask God what is the giant in your life that you need to get rid of?  Suggested scripture reading - 1.  Reread today's proverb, Proverb 6 in its entirety (this is one of the best of all of the proverbs).  2.  Reread the 17th chapter of 1 Samuel in its entirety.
