Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 18. I will then key in on verse 1 - A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; He rages against all wise judgement. Friends, last week I spent Monday's, Wednesday's, & Thursday's podcasts on people who may not currently enjoy the particular job that they have ( you may want to listen to either or all of those prior to listening to this). This week I will be spending Monday's, Wednesday's, and Thursday's podcasts on people who enjoy their job, but they are not enjoying success in relationships in the workplace. Verse 1 speaks of this. This person seeks to isolate himself and does not try to get along with people or reach out to people at work. Friends, this is not a good way to be - and if this is you there is a good chance that you are not enjoying work very much. I will go over the commentary in my Bible (the Nelson Study Bible) for this verse. I will then ask you to entertain the idea of being a verse 24 person -A man who has friends "must himself be friendly." If this is you, I applaud you. You are probably well liked at work, and enjoying your job. Call to action - ask yourself if you are more of a verse 1 person, or 24 person? If you are more of a verse 1 person, I ask you to pray to God and ask Him to help you with this situation. Ask Him what you may need to do to change your attitude and develop a desire to get along more with the people at your place of employment.
