    380. Celebrating my Wonderful Daughter and Son-in-Law - September 15, 2023

    Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 15. I will then key in on verse 33 - The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom, And before honor is humility. Friends, I am living testimony of this verse. I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior back in 1995. Over the years I have developed a fear of the Lord. In my eyes, my definition of having the fear of the Lord is to answer yes when he asks you to do something. Back in March of 2022, the Holy Spirit woke me up and told me to begin a podcast on wisdom. As a teacher, I welcomed the challenge and said, "Yes, Lord!" Today is podcast #380. The second part of verse 33 says that before honor is humility. When I think of that part of the verse, I can't help but think of Paul's 2nd letter to the church in Corinth. In Chapter 12, verse 9 & 10 it says: "Migrate is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." In verse 10 it concludes with this comment: "For when I am weak, then I am strong." Friends, this is right where God wants us. When we are at a point in our lives when we not longer have the strength, or wisdom, or whatever is needed - and turn to Him, He will be there for you. I then go to Psalm 127: verses 3-5 & talk about the fact that our children are a heritage from the Lord. I want to celebrate my daughter - as she celebrates her birthday today, and her marriage, as they celebrate their anniversary on Sunday, the 17th. I give testimony about the birth of my daughter and the union of their joining together in marriage 23 years ago. Call to action: Are you in a good place with your kids? Do you need to improve that relationship? If so, pray that God would give you the wisdom to say whatever you need to to make things OK. Suggested scripture reading: 1. Reread the proverb of the day, Proverb 15 today; Proverb 16 tomorrow, and Proverb 17 on Sunday.

    379. Your Job is Your Ministry - #3 - September 14, 2023

    Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 14. I will then key in on verse 2 - He who walks in his uprightness fears the Lord, But he who is perverse in his ways despises Him. Friends, on Monday's podcast I went over verses 2-6 of Proverb 11 (if you did not get a chance to listen to that, I invite you to check it out). Yesterday, we went over verse 10 of Proverb 13. The text I am using for this series is Ephesians, Chapter 4: verses 11-16. Friends, we all are a part of the Body of Christ. We may not have one of the offices of the five-fold ministry, but we are all called to do something. Regardless of what your job is, you should be doing it as unto the Lord (Colossians 3:23) - and you should consider your job as your primary ministry. If you "do" Colossians 3:23 and do your job as unto the Lord, you will do your job with excellence. My question (continuing where I left off in yesterday's podcast) - if you do not like the job you are currently performing my question to you is, "Do you have a good enough relationship with your immediate supervisor that you can talk to him (her) about it? Could you possible be better suited for a different job in the company? Could you maybe take a couple classes (at the local community college) to perhaps get a higher-paying job in the company? Call to action - Ask yourself if you have a good enough relationship with your supervisor to talk plainly and clearly (and honestly) with him (her)? Suggested scripture reading: 1.

    378. Your Job is Your Ministry - #2 - September 13, 2023

    Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 13. I will then key in on verse 10 - By pride comes nothing but strife, But with the well-advised is wisdom. I will then remind the audience of the verse I brought up on Monday's podcast - Proverb 11: verse 2 -When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom. Friends, pride is never a good thing. I will then review the passage of scripture I introduced on Monday's podcast: Ephesians, Chapter 4: verses 11-16. God has called some people to be in the ministry (such as a pastor or teacher), but if you have not been called into one of the five offices mentioned in these verses, let me remind you that the job that you are currently in is your ministry. On Monday's podcast I mentioned that the most important thing in life is having a vibrant relationship with God. The second most important thing in life is having a vibrant relationship with your spouse. The third most important relationship is the relationship with your kids. Finally (and not before) is your job. Many people put their job as #1, or #2, or #3 - and if you do that, many times your relationships will suffer or, possibly, end in divorce or estrangement. I go over some important questions to ask anyone that does not look forward to going to their job everyday. Call to Action: Where are you in all of this? Do you enjoy your job, and going to it every day? Pray about the things I discussed on today's podcast and plan on making a few changes. Suggested scripture reading - Reread today's proverb, Proverb 13 in its entirety.
