                           Wisdom -- Part 5
                           Proverbs 4:18-19
                              09/06/2024


        18   But the path of the righteous is like the light of
             dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until
             full day.
        19   The way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they
             do not know over what they stumble.  (ESV)

        One ancient service in the Church begins:
        Jesus Christ is the Light of the World, the light no
        darkness can overcome.

        Stay with us, Lord, for it is evening, and the day is
        almost over.

        Let Your Light scatter the darkness and illumine Your
        Church.

        Joyous light of glory: of the immortal Father;
        heavenly, holy, blessed Jesus Christ.


        We pray that the light of God's grace, love, and mercy shine
   in our hearts to chase away the gloom of this world.  King
   Solomon used this same image:
        But the path of the righteous is like the light of
        dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full
        day.  The way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they
        do not know over what they stumble.


        ``The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,''[5]
   Solomon taught.  Wisdom brings us the light of truth, that our
   heavenly Father sent His only begotten Son to take upon Himself
   our sins.  Because of the death and resurrection of Jesus, we
   have the hope of eternal life.

        Please join us at Trinity Lutheran Church on Sunday morning
   at 9:00 a.m. to learn more of God's grace and love.  May our Lord
   bless you with wisdom.  Amen.
