"Spiritual Street Smarts" - Proverbs 9:1-10 - (August 15, 2021 - 12th Sunday in Pentecost)

<p>"Grant me patience, wisdom and understanding...." was a phrase in my childhood prayers that my parents taught me. &nbsp;How true these words are. &nbsp;We have a choice: worldly wisdom vs spiritual wisdom. &nbsp;Street smarts and spiritual street smarts. &nbsp;If you want to survive in this worlds at any cost (perhaps sometimes throwing morals and personal integrity to the wind), then street smarts might work. &nbsp;But, Christ invites us to be granted His riches, His robes of righteousness, forgiveness and salvation from this world and our broken lives and lies. &nbsp;His wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord, repentance, and acknowledgement of Him alone as God an Savior. &nbsp;How is the Lord to be "feared in all Christian walks?" &nbsp;Listen in.</p>
