Episode 120: Bite-Sized Bible Study | Determining When It’s Wise to Say “Yes” and When It’s Wise to Say “No” | Proverbs 2:1-11

When is too much of a good thing no longer a good thing?

Us perfectionist and people-pleasing types have a tendency to take on too much. We’re afraid to let others down or we don’t want to miss out on significant opportunities so we keep saying yes… to the point that we’re left exhausted and overwhelmed.

Proverbs 2:1-11 helps us reframe the way that we view success and reminds us that the fulfillment we long for comes from God’s wisdom — not earthly successes.

God’s wisdom is “pleasant to our souls” (Prov. 2:10), so in order to experience the health rhythms that God has for us, we have to determine when our yeses are wise and when they are not.

Through the lens of Proverbs 2:1-11, I am sharing four key questions that I am learning to ask before I say “yes.” I hope you find these questions helpful too.
