Song of Songs 7
How beautiful your sandaled feet,
    O prince’s daughter!
Your graceful legs are like jewels,
    the work of an artist’s hands.
2 Your navel is a rounded goblet
    that never lacks blended wine.
Your waist is a mound of wheat
    encircled by lilies.
3 Your breasts are like two fawns,
    like twin fawns of a gazelle.
4 Your neck is like an ivory tower.
Your eyes are the pools of Heshbon
    by the gate of Bath Rabbim.
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon
    looking toward Damascus.
5 Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel.
    Your hair is like royal tapestry;
    the king is held captive by its tresses.
6 How beautiful you are and how pleasing,
    my love, with your delights!
7 Your stature is like that of the palm,
    and your breasts like clusters of fruit.
8 I said, “I will climb the palm tree;
    I will take hold of its fruit.”
May your breasts be like clusters of grapes on the vine,
    the fragrance of your breath like apples,
9     and your mouth like the best wine.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Little Known Facts About Laziness #7

Let’s review the facts…

Fact #7 – The way of the lazy slowly creep to sudden disaster.

Proverbs 6:9-11

How long will you lie there, O sluggard?
When will you arise from your sleep?
10 A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest,
11 and poverty will come upon you like a robber,
and want like an armed man.

Things start small, just little things that are off. Things get a little lax but then disaster is sudden and unavoidable.

The Proverbs talk about poverty coming like a robber. Sudden and unannounced, without warning.

The other illustration is similar but slightly different. The armed man illustrates how poverty is forced on you. It’s unavoidable and when it comes it’s too late.

The encouragement today is to consider areas of your life that could be getting lax and headed in the wrong direction. It starts small but be diligent and keep going and headed in the right direction.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Worship is not just something that we do on Sunday mornings or Wednesday nights. We worship something every day, whether it’s sports, exercise, money, jobs or God. So, how do we live our daily lives in worship to God? 

Romans 12: 1 says, “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.” So the first thing is that we need to sacrifice ourselves, give our lives to the Lord and in following Jesus. Then verse 2 says, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” So in sacrificing ourselves we shouldn’t conform to the pattern of this world.

And then a few verse down in verse 9 it says some things that highlight a Christian and how we might live out worship in our daily lives. It says, “Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13 Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.” And the list goes on further, but those are just a few things that we can do in our daily lives to worship the Lord. So, what is one thing you can do to worship the Lord? One thing on that list that you might try to improve on as you try to live a lifestyle of worship.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Phil 3:14-15
13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
15 All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you.
– As I grow older, I feel God “making clear to me” the need to 1) acknowledge how much more I need to learn, and 2) use that realization to try and rekindle a love for God’s Word and seek him more fully. Encourage HIMs to do this as well

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I have 2 personal convictions I’m going to share.  Perhaps some of you need to hear this.
1) I talk too much. Much of what I say I hear at the same time you hear it.
When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but whoever restrains his lips is prudent.
Proverbs 10:19
Jesus says in Luke 6:
“It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.”
I’m not talking about swearing but maybe that is a part of it, I’m not sure I really care if you swear from time to time.  I am bothered by the use of Jesus Christ as an explitive
But have a filter and make sure that filter is Truth and encouragement. are words building up?

**Give thought to your words.**
2) God wants to work on not just my words spoken but also the thoughts and and my heart

A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart
and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.

what are you thinking? Would you verbalize those things?

Are you improving what you are thinking?
Perhaps it is best summed up by paul in Phil 4;8
“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure,

whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

**Give thought to your thoughts**
