Oh, oh, I. Hey, Hey Porch, how we doing?

Yeah, it's great to be here with my friends in Dallas and Fort Worth and spread out all over Texas and the southwest and every other place you're listening we know around the globe and overseas

You're tracking with us. My name is Todd. I love when I get to jump in with you guys and we are

going to just this week take a little bit of time looking at a section of

God's word that has really, really been useful in my life. I often get asked the question,

man, what's your favorite book of the Bible, right? And so for me, if I had to be honest, it really is.

And I say this all the time, it's whatever book I'm studying because there's always more there than I think I mean books that I've been around for a long time

When I really begin to just sit on them and study and reflect and ask questions man I always see so much truth that I either missed the first time or just forgot was there.

So whatever book I'm spending the most time in at any given time when I'm teaching through some series at Watermark, wherever it might be.

That because of my favorite book.

But if I had to say this one book that has been the most useful in my life,

not in order to help me understand my own sin and my own need for Jesus but a book that has

changed me more than any of the book in the Bible. It would be a book called Proverbs.

And it's a book that is written for idiots like me of a very short attention

span because it kind of, you know, just speaks to you and jabs and quick punches and little

pithy statements. This is the way the book of Proverbs starts. Listen to this. This is chapter

one of a collection of wisdom sayings. Okay, now wisdom, all wisdom is, is knowledge wrapped up in understanding which is to say a life

that takes truth and rightly applies it is a life that's marked by wisdom. This is what it says. It says the Proverbs of Solomon,

who if you know the story about Solomon, he could ask God whatever he wanted and what

he asked for was that he would have wisdom,

that he would not just know things, because here's a deal, right?

Most of you guys know more than you're applying to your life already.
