This Week | September 15 – 21, 2023

September 17 | Proverbs – The Wisdom of God for Today’s Issues: Part 7 – Healing The Human Heart – Mark Pospisil

Synopsis: We will all experience a broken heart in our lives. While physical pain hurts, emotional pain can be debilitating. The book of Proverbs addresses the human heart quite a bit. This is good news because we need wisdom for healing our hearts. Many of us have deep emotional scars from family, relationships, rejection, things that have been said to us, or things that have been done to us. We can go on autopilot and just go day in and day out without experiencing God’s healing grace. Proverbs gives us the wisdom to heal the human heart. The Lord wants to restore and then help us guard our hearts.

Fighter Verse: Proverbs 4:23 – Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.
