I am excited about the future of GCWC. For those of you who have been following the last few months here on the blog, you understand that the church we currently serve at is in a time of transition. Our staff and board have sought the wisdom and direction of God for some time and are excited about the events of the next few weeks. Beginning today, as a church we have begun a reading of the Proverbs together. Here are a few thoughts as we begin with chapter 1 that may encourage and challenge you.1. The sole purpose of the book is "for the attaining of wisdom and discipline; for understanding words or insight; for acquiring a disciplined and prudent life, doing what is right and just and fair." (verses 2-3)
2. Solomon, the wisest man whoever lives gives so much insight in these "wise sayings" that guide us in this journey called life.
3. There is a common theme throughout the book as he relates specifically to 3 types of people...the wise, the fool, and the scoffer.
As we have been in our current series "Chase the Lion" we have discussed taking calculated risks and trusting God to come through when the odds are stacked against us. We talked yesterday about rewiring our hard drive (our brains) so that we may think more like him. Romans 12:1 calls it "being transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test what God's will is." That's what "Chasing the Lion" is all about...pursuing Gods dream and plan for our lives. Join us as we study this book together over the next few weeks.

I have been reading Proverbs and I am gaining a lot from reading these right now. Even though I have read them many times, they can certainly speak for the moment of my everyday life. Wisdom and understanding from God means so much in these days and times...we all need to seek God's wisdom for our lives everyday.
