Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 30. I will then key in on verse 32 (NLT) - If you have been a fool by being proud (God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble) or plotting evil (we should have nothing to do with this) cover your mouth in shame. Today we will continue our study in the Book of Exodus. I will pick up where I left off on Thursday's podcast - if you did not listen to the Jan. 26th podcast, I encourage you to listen to that episode prior to listening to this. We will continue in Chapter #32 and go over four new points: 1. Moses destroys the Golden Calf (I will read verses 17-20). Most destroys the two tablets containing the Ten Commandments that God had written for the Israelite people and the burns this Golden Calf down (and has the people drink it!); 2. Moses asks Aaron how this happened? (Moses does not understand how Aaron allowed the people to so blatantly go against the word of God by breaking the First Commandment). Aaron tells Moses that this calf just appeared - and does not tell him that he had fashioned the calf; 3. Moses asks who truly loves the Lord (3,000 people are killed in the camp that day). God wants the people to decide for themselves whether they are going to obey the commandments the God gives them, and those that won't; 4. Moses again intervenes on behalf of the Israelites people (I will read verses 32 & 33). Moses is willing to die - should God not be willing to forgive the people. CALL to ACTION - Go to God in your prayer time and ask Him if there is anything in your life that He is not pleased with - and repent of this, and turn around. Suggested scripture reading: 1. Reread the 32nd chapter of Exodus in its entirety; 2. Read psalm 91 (today and every day throughout the coming week); 3. Reread today's proverb, Proverb 30 in its entirety.
