Family Quest: Heart of Wisdom, Lesson 4
LESSON 4: WISDOM GUARDS THE HEART
Guard your heart for everything you do flows from it. A guard has two functions. The first is to keep out anyone or anything that will cause harm or does not have the owners permission to enter. The second is to allow in those persons or things that the owner has authorized. Why is a guard on the heart so critical? We’ve all used the expression, “garbage in, garbage out,” and are familiar with its implications in any type of analytical task. It can be equally applied to our heart (the biblical center of the will and emotions).

LESSON 3: TRUST IN GOD’S WISDOM
Spiritual G.P.S. The God Positioning System. Just like our geographical GPS requires three parts to function correctly, a satellite system, a receiver, and a reliable digital map, so does our spiritual GPS. It begins by having a connection to our heavenly Father through his Son, Jesus. The next piece is the indwelling Holy Spirit to quicken our conscience and open our spiritual eyes. Finally we need a reliable map; God’s living and powerful Word. With these 3 pieces our guidance system is complete.

LESSON 2: LISTEN TO THE WISE
What is one of the most often lamented or joked about attributes of youthful thinking? We all know the old adage, “The older I get, the wiser my father becomes.” The foolishness of youth leads us to believe that we know everything and that our way is better. “The way of a fool is right in his own
eyes.” Sadly, this foolishness, if not lovingly corrected in our children, often continues on into adulthood and creates ever increasing heartache along the way as the consequences of our foolishness grow more serious.

Family Quest: Heart of Wisdom, Lesson 1
LESSON 1: SEEK WISDOM
What is wisdom? Where does it come from? What are its benefits and how can it be acquired? These are all questions worth answering from a biblical perspective. So worthwhile is this pursuit that an entire class of books in the Bible are dedicated to the topic. We are told that “wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her.” This is our Quest for this Summer. So what are we seeking?
