Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley.  Today we will be going over Proverb 23.  I will then key in on verses 15 & 16:  My son, if your heart is wise, My heart will rejoice - indeed, I myself;  Yes, my inmost being will rejoice When your lips speak right things.  As a father and grandfather, words that are "right" are words that you want your kids and grandkids to speak.  You do not want them to be negative people.  You want them to know the goodness of the Lord, and speak words of righteousness.  I often speak these two verses over both my children and grandchildren.  Today, I will read Psalm 34 in its entirety.  This is one of my favorite passages of scripture.  King David of Israel penned this psalm almost 3,500 years ago - and yet it still applies very well to the times we live in today.  This psalm can be broken down into four parts: 1. verses 1-3 - David invites us to praise the Lord with Him and exalt His holy name. (The Lord is good, and only good.  We should recognize this and continually give Him praise; 2.  verses 4-7 - God will deliver you from all of your troubles (the key is to seek Him in prayer, and this psalm tells us He will hear you); 3.  verses 8-14 - We need to have a reverential fear of the Lord - this is one of the prominent themes in the entire book of Proverbs (if we have a reverential fear of the Lord - and seek wisdom - there is a good chance that our lives will be markedly improved; 4.  verses 15-22 - we should continually praise the Lord our God - He is good and only good, and we should continually be thanking Him.  If we seek Him in prayer, He will deliver us out of whatever it is we are going through.
