Foundations: Making Wise Choices

Update 18/01/12 2:52 PM - Youth tonight is being cancelled. The roads and the weather is too erratic for it to be worth the risk. It's only... wise. (pun intended) Have a great week! HAVE FUN IN THE SNOW!

Hey Everyone!

Hope you're enjoying the snow. I want to let you know that tomorrow night is up in the air, but for right now, we'll plan on it HAPPENING. I will send out an e-mail and update the blog by 4 PM tomorrow if it is not going to happen. I expect it will, but I'll check the weather forecasts, and if it's looking like the roads are going to be treacherous at the beginning or end of youth, we won't do it for everyone's safety.

Nonetheless... it's our Foundations week! From 1 Kings 3:

That night the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream, and God said, “What do you want? Ask, and I will give it to you!”

Solomon replied, “You showed faithful love to your servant my father, David, because he was honest and true and faithful to you. And you have continued your faithful love to him today by giving him a son to sit on his throne.

“Now, O LORD my God, you have made me king instead of my father, David, but I am like a little child who doesn’t know his way around. And here I am in the midst of your own chosen people, a nation so great and numerous they cannot be counted! Give me an understanding heart so that I can govern your people well and know the difference between right and wrong. For who by himself is able to govern this great people of yours?”

The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for wisdom. So God replied, “Because you have asked for wisdom in governing my people with justice and have not asked for a long life or wealth or the death of your enemies— I will give you what you asked for! I will give you a wise and understanding heart such as no one else has had or ever will have! And I will also give you what you did not ask for—riches and fame! No other king in all the world will be compared to you for the rest of your life!

We're going to be talking about making wise choices! Such a simple thing to talk about, and such a hard thing to do. But it starts with the small things. Come out tomorrow (if it happens!) to find out more! See you at 6:30.
