| 0:00.0 | Hello, my friends. I am so glad that you're back with me. For the morning mindset, my name |
| 0:08.0 | is Carrie Green. It is our opportunity right now to get our minds aligned with the truth |
| 0:13.1 | of God. If you've been listening to the morning mindset for a while and you'd be interested |
| 0:17.0 | in helping me with a cataloging project, taking note of all morning mindset episodes, what |
| 0:23.2 | their topic was, what their scripture reference was, things like that. Please reach out to me. |
| 0:27.8 | C-A-R-E-Y-At-CariGreen.com and put topic index in the subject line. All right, today we |
| 0:35.6 | are looking at Proverbs chapter 30 verses 1 through 3. And I hope you've noticed the title |
| 0:41.9 | for this episode is weary, worn out, and unwise. Now that's the condition that the writer of |
| 0:48.4 | this proverb describes himself in these first three verses. And the guy's name is Agor |
| 0:54.8 | and we don't really know much about him. We honestly, from history, from biblical sources, |
| 1:00.9 | have no real clue of who he is. But he seems to have been a wise person in Solomon's day. And |
| 1:06.1 | we believe he probably lived in Solomon's time as well. And his writings are collected here in |
| 1:10.6 | the Proverbs for us to read. So this entire chapter is an oracle of Agor, the same guy. And we're |
| 1:18.5 | just going to go through a section at a time and glean the wisdom that it has for us. Now it |
| 1:22.9 | begins this way. It says, the man declares, I am weary, oh God, I am weary, oh God, I'm worn out. |
| 1:30.6 | Surely I am too stupid to be a man. I have not the understanding of a man. I have not learned |
| 1:37.2 | wisdom nor have I knowledge of the Holy One. And the reason we're stopping right there even though |
| 1:43.1 | we could go on in this paragraph is because what I think Agor is doing is he's laying out a |
| 1:49.0 | foundational principle for us here. He is showing us the importance of approaching all things with |
| 1:55.2 | humility, with humility. Notice what he says, I am weary, I am worn out. And it's because I really |
| 2:05.3 | don't have understanding. Even compared to other people, I feel like I am lacking. I am losing |
| 2:12.2 | my grip on things. And he says, I have not learned wisdom nor have I knowledge of the Holy One. |
