| 0:30.5 | Heart. Does that just lead us to pray? God give us humble hearts. We don't want proud hearts |
| 0:39.2 | because of your beauty. And who is the author, the giver of beauty? Is it not God? So even that |
| 0:46.2 | which is good in us should not lead to pride in our hearts because anything good in us |
| 0:55.0 | is a gift from God. Goodness in us should lead to humility in our hearts. So that's the phrase in |
| 1:04.6 | the very beginning of this verse. Your heart was proud. And then listen to this phrase, |
| 1:09.9 | you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor. So God again gave a good gift wisdom |
| 1:18.6 | and the people took it and corrupted it for their own sake. Do you see the picture here? We |

| 2:22.8 | for the ways we corrupt wisdom for our own sake, for the ways we use skill and wisdom that you |
| 2:32.3 | provide us without regard to living and using it for your glory. How we use it for ourselves |
| 2:40.6 | to live for the things of this world. God, we pray that you keep us from corrupting wisdom for |
| 2:47.2 | our own sake. Help us to steward wisdom for your sake. Oh, God, we pray for good gifts like wisdom |
| 2:57.0 | for the spread of your splendor. God, we pray that you help us to steward all the good gifts you've |
