This is Bill Kelley. Please join me as we hear the word's of Solomon - who many people consider the wisest man who ever lived. We will go over the proverb of the day every day and I will pick a verse (or several) and expound on them. I am believing that, by hearing the wisdom of Solomon, we will become wiser and our lives will begin to improve - as we follow what the word tells us to do.

    389. They Did Not Know the Lord - September 28, 2023

    Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 28. I will then key in on verses 5 & 14. I believe these two verses pretty much go together. Verse 5 tells us: Evil men do not understand justice, But those who seek the Lord understand all. Verse 14 tells us: Happy is the man who is always reverent, But he who hardens his hear will fall into calamity. An example of these two verses is found in the Book of 1st Samuel, Chapter 2. Verses 12-17 of that chapter is entitled, "The Wicked Sons of Eli." These two young men were the sons of the priest, Eli. They took advantage of their position to do evil - and would not follow the ways of the Lord, or the instructions that they had been given (by the Lord or by their father). I will read verses 12 through 17 & then read verses 27-36 of that chapter. These two young men ended up dying on the same day. They would not heed the instructions they were given. So many lessons can be taken away from this story. Friends, we need to humble ourselves before God & be reverent of Him. Call to Action - Ask yourself if you are reverent of God. If not, pray to Him that He would open your eyes, and begin to acknowledge Him. Suggested scripture reading - 1. Reread today's proverb, Proverb 28; 2. Reread Chapter 2 of 1 Samuel in its entirety.

    388. The Spirit of Gentleness - September 27, 2023

    Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 27. I will then key in on verse 27 - As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend. Friends, to have a truly successful life, I believe that you need to have at least one (and preferably two or three) close friend (s) that we can go to when we need counsel (or prayer). Today I will go over several scripture verses: 1. Galatians - Chapter 6: verse 1 - and read the commentary in my Bible (the Nelson Study Bible) 2. Matthew - Chapter 7: verses 1-5 - Friends, we are not to judge people (we will be judged in the same manner that we judge people) 3. James 3: verses 13-18 - When we correct someone we are to do it with the Spirit of Gentleness 4. Proverb 27: 5-6 - If you are a faithful friend to someone, you will correct them - but do it with gentleness , kindness, and love I will then review our verse of the day: Proverb 27:17. Call to action - ask yourself if you are a close friend like this to anyone, but - more importantly do you have anyone like this in your life (that you can seek advice from our go to for counsel (or prayer))? If not, I consider you begin looking for someone (preferably from church). Suggested scripture reading - Reread the proverb of the day, Proverb 27 & read it in its entirety; 2. Read the 3rd Chapter of the Book of James.

    387. Brian Waite shares his personal testimony - September 26, 2023

    Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley.  Today we will be going over Proverb 26.  I will then introduce you to Brian Waite.  Brian is a fellow second year Charis Bible College student.  Brian grew up in the Catholic faith, but did not have a close relationship with God.  He grew up feeling guilty and felt that God was anything but the loving God that we know Him to be.  He was saved in 1993, but it took him over 10 years to begin to truly understand the love that God had for him.  He has a wonderful healing testimony and is continuing his journey with God at Bible college.

    386. Do Not go Hastily to Court - September 25, 2023

    Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 25. I will then key in on verses 8-10: Do not go hastily to court; For what will you do in the end, When your neighbor has put you to shame? Debate your case with your neighbor, And do not disclose the secret to another; Lest he who hears it expose your shame, And your reputation be ruined. Friends, we live in a time in our world today where people have so little tolerance of anyone different from them and people take offense at the slightest thing. I am going to go over several scriptures today which hopefully will convince you that there is another way: 1. 1 Peter 4:7-8 2. 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 3. Luke 23: 32-34 4. John 13: 33-35 5. Hebrews 10: 12-14 These verses tell us we should overlook petty sins that people commit against us; we go over the definition of love and how we know whether love is present in a certain situation, or not. We go over Jesus on the cross asking God to forgive the people who have wronged Him and put Him on the cross. We then look at Jesus's new command that He give us today - that we will be known as disciples if we have love one for another. Finally, we close with the fact that by dying on the cross, all of our sins have been forgiven for all time. Because of what He did on the cross for us, we should be quick to forgive. I will then review our verses of the day: Proverb 25:verses 8-10. Call to action: 1. Ask God to bring to your remembrance any person that you need to forgive for anything they have done against you; 2. Ask God to bring to your remembrance whether you have wronged anyone and whether there is anyone you need to ask forgiveness from. Suggested scripture reading: 1. Reread today's proverb, Proverb 25; 2. Review and meditate on the scriptures we have reviewed today.

    385. Lift Jesus Higher - September 22, 2023

    Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 22. I will then key in on verse 19 - So that your trust may be in the Lord; I have instructed you today, even you. Friends, we are to put our trust in God. If we do that we should honor Him by giving Him praise. We can do this by singing to Him. I will sing two short songs - This is the Day that the Lord Has Made & Lift Jesus Higher. Singing these two songs will get you in the mood to begin your day. If you begin each day with joy and Thanksgiving in your heart, and say a deliberate prayer to God prior to going to work, or beginning your day, I believe your life will begin to improve. I will review Romans, Chapter 12: verses 1 & 2 and 2 Corinthians, Chapter 5: verse 17. I will then go over the words of Jesus found in Matthew's gospel, Chapter 16: verses 24-27. I will then read Psalm 19 in its entirety. Call to Action: Ask God if you are living the abundant life God has called you to live (John 10:10)? If the answer to that question is no, ask God what it is that you need to change in your life. We are to be thankful and offer our lives as a living sacrifice. Our life is not longer ours to live, but we are to lay our lives down at the altar to follow Jesus. Suggested scripture reading: 1. Reread Proverb 22 today; read Proverb 23 tomorrow; and Proverb 24 on Sunday.

    384. Your Work is Your Ministry - #6 (Recap) - September 21, 2023

    Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 21. I will then key in on verse 5 - The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty; But those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty. I will begin today's podcast by reading the commentary in my Bible (the Nelson Study Bible) for this verse. I will then review several things: 1. If you do not enjoy going to work, the first thing you should do is go to God in prayer and ask Him if this is the job that He would like for you to be in 2. The most important thing is life is to have a good relationship with God and that you have established a habit of going to Him in prayer whenever you have a need - Everything in life we do comes out of the relationship you have with the Father 3. If you do not like going to work because you do not like the job that you do -a. ask your immediate supervisor if there are any alternative jobs at your company that you might be better suited for; b. ask if there are any classes that you could possible take to gain more skills and thus qualify for a higher-paying job; c. change your attitude about the present job you do and do Colossians 3: 23 - do everything heartily as unto the Lord 4. If you do not like some of the people that you work with, remember that God loves every single one of us, and that if God loves someone, so should we; again you may need to change your attitude about that certain "sandpaper" person (if you didn't listen to yesterday's message, please check it out). 5. I will review today's verse - Proverb 21: verse 5 which says that plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty. Friends, if you don't enjoy going to your job (for whatever reason) you have to plan to change some of the things you are currently doing as far as your job are concerned. 6. Two things that you should never do - if you don't like your job, begin drinking (such as having a couple of drinks during your lunch hour). Nothing good will ever come out of that. Second, if you do not like your job NEVER quite out of frustration or anger prior to getting another job. Suggested scripture reading: 1. Reread the proverb of the day, Proverb 21 today; read Proverb 22 tomorrow, and Proverb 23 on Sunday.
