First Lesson
Wisdom 9:1-6
1 O GOD of my fathers, and Lord of mercy, who hast made all things
with thy word,
2 And ordained man through thy wisdom, that he should have dominion
over the creatures which thou hast made,
3 And order the world according to equity and righteousness,
and execute judgment with an upright heart;
4 Give
me wisdom, that sitteth by thy throne; and reject me not from
among thy children:
5 For I thy servant and son of thine handmaid am a feeble person,
and of a short time, and too young for the understanding of judgment
and laws.
6 For though a man be never so perfect among the children of
men, yet if thy wisdom be not with him, he shall be nothing regarded.

Second Lesson
1 Corinthians 3:9-17
9
For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry,
ye are God's building.
10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a
wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth
thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which
is Jesus Christ.
12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious
stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall
declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire
shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he
shall receive a reward.
15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but
he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit
of God dwelleth in you?
17 If
any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for
the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
2nd Lesson Questions -
Do my life actions reflect that I believe I am God's building (V. 9) and temple (V. 17)? Am I an inhabitable or condemned one? Why? RESOLVE.
