Gamers are Good Ground!!

Hello and Good Morning, Gamers!
I am sorry I missed you yesterday! I really missed our time together!!

So, we are in Proverbs 9, verse 9 today- reading from the NLTse:

9- "Instruct the wise, and they will be even wiser. Teach the righteous, and they will learn even more"

This verse essentially says that wise Gamers appreciate and benefit from wisdom! In verses 7 & 8, the futility of correcting a mocker is described, but verse 9 says that wise people (us) benefit from wise correction and instruction! As we have already discussed, hearing the Word of God is essential; so then the question is what kind of hearer are YOU?

In Mark 4:1-9, Jesus tells the parable of the sower and the seed. In the New Year's Eve service, our pastor taught that this parable is essentially a "hearing test"!! The different "grounds" described represent different "types of hearing" (ears). We will look at them one at a time to keep this post short...

The type of listening described in Proverbs 9 is the "good ground" described in the sower parable (Mark 4). We have developed such a great relationship with the Word and have trained our minds through repeated hearing that when we hear wisdom or the Word -- we immediately pay attention!! Our "ear is so tuned to wisdom" (Pro 2:2) - that we hear it above all the other "noise" that comes at us!! Thus, making us wiser!!

Are you that kind of hearer of the Word? Are your ears "tuned to wisdom"; do you hear the wisdom from God's Word and allow it to correct and instruct you? OR are you the hearer that is easily distracted by all the other "noise"? We must be disciplined, Gamers...disciplined hearers!!

To be TRUE Gamers, we have to continue developing our relationship with the Word. This makes us "good wise ground" that becomes even wiser!!!

Stay in the Game!!
