Welcome to the In Touch podcast with Charles Stanley for Thursday, October 2nd.

The third chapter of Proverbs describes some of the benefits of exercising godly wisdom.

Listen closely to this podcast and be encouraged to love the Lord, to trust, obey, and anticipate his blessing.

Do you want your life to be fruitful and feeling fulfilled and

contented? And somehow in spite of all the difficulties and obstacles you have to face in life,

you want to be able to sense a sense of contentment in your life and the fact that your life's

really counted. You haven't wasted it hasn't just

flown by but you really want your life to count you want to make a difference not only in your own life

but somebody else's life well there's a way to do that and i think most people just sort of get a little

discouraged in life and ask the question well well, what difference do I make anyway?

Or how can my life count for anything that has any lasting value? And the truth is it can.

And the passage of scripture that I want to talk about today is a passive scripture that is served

as two instruments in my life. One of them is an anchor that has anchored me in times of

great difficulty in stormy times in my life. And the second is this, it served as a compass

to give me a sense of direction, to show me which way to go, which way to turn. And omit so many

times throughout these years I've turned to this past of

scripture. In fact, very few days go by that I don't either quote this passage to myself or read it

in the Word of God, going back to ask for a sense of direction or having him to anchor my soul

in some troubled spirit, whatever it might be. It's always there,

always trustworthy. It is an awesome, powerful passage of scripture. And I want to share it with you

because I do know in my heart that if you'll allow it to be the compass of your life and the anchor of

your life, things will get better
