📜 TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: Proverbs 9: 13-18
13 The woman Folly is loud;
she is seductive[c] and knows nothing.
14 She sits at the door of her house;
she takes a seat on the highest places of the town,
15 calling to those who pass by,
who are going straight on their way,
16 “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”
And to him who lacks sense she says,
17 “Stolen water is sweet,
and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
18 But he does not know that the dead[d] are there,
that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.

| 0:00.0 | It is time once again for the morning mindset edition of the Live Build Change |
| 0:06.4 | Podcast. Thank you for taking the time to orient yourself around the truth of God because that's what this five minute |
| 0:14.9 | morning mindset really is aimed at doing. And if you take the time not necessarily |
| 0:20.3 | only with the morning mindset but just even in your own effort. |
| 0:25.0 | To orient yourself around God's way of doing things, |
| 0:28.0 | so you're setting yourself up for a successful day. |
| 0:31.0 | Now that doesn't mean all your interactions are going to go smoothly and happily. |
| 0:35.0 | It doesn't mean you're going to make tons of profit at work. |
| 0:38.0 | What it means is you, in the way you live life, will be successful in God's eyes and that is what matters. |
| 0:46.2 | In recent days we've been looking at this issue of wisdom and what it is. Well today I want to |
| 0:51.4 | kind of turn the table over a little bit and let's look at what foolishness is. |
| 0:56.4 | What is folly? In other words, the writer of Proverbs, Solomons, in Chapter 9, has a section right at the end where he portrays foolishness |
| 1:07.1 | as a person, as a woman, and characterizes what she would say and how she would appeal to the people around her. |
| 1:16.0 | And if you remember, he's done this with wisdom already, |
| 1:19.0 | characterizing wisdom as a woman as well. |
| 1:21.0 | And so it's interesting that he does this with folly and it's just a short |
| 1:24.1 | little section so I want to read it to you and talk about it just a little bit so that we can |
| 1:29.0 | gain insight into the contrast between foolishness and wisdom. |
| 1:33.4 | Vers 13 of chapter 9 says the woman folly is loud |
| 1:38.5 | she is seductive |
| 1:40.9 | and knows nothing. |
