First Lesson
Wisdom 1:1-7
1 Love righteousness, ye that be judges of the earth: think of
the Lord with a good (heart,) and in simplicity of heart seek
him.
2 For he will be found of them that tempt him not; and sheweth
himself unto such as do not distrust him.
3 For froward thoughts separate from God: and his power, when
it is tried, reproveth the unwise.
4 For into a malicious soul wisdom shall not enter; nor dwell
in the body that is subject unto sin.
5 For
the holy spirit of discipline will flee deceit, and remove from
thoughts that are without understanding, and will not abide when
unrighteousness cometh in.
6 For wisdom is a loving spirit; and will not acquit a blasphemer
of his words; for God is witness of his reins, and a true beholder
of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue.
7 For the Spirit of the Lord filleth the world: and that which
containeth all things hath knowledge of the voice.
1st Lesson Questions:
Wisdom 1:1-7. If the holy spirit of discipline doesn't exist where there is unrighteousness, thoughts that are without understanding and deceit, what does that say about my life? (V. 5) Am I disciplined? If not, what needs to be changed in my life? RESOLVE.
