Matt talked about Jeremiah 17:9. NLT
“the human heart is the deceitful and hard to understand.”
- How has your own heart deceived you in the past?
- Experience is a good teacher, share a time when you knew God was telling you to make a certain choice and you chose differently? How did that turn out?
- Like question 2, experience is a good teacher, share a time when you did choose what God wanted and how that turned Out?
- Proverbs 16:2 NLT says, “people may be pure in there own eyes but the Lord examines the heart”. How are you wired to make choices? (God, money, family, time) What influences your choices most?
- If you are comfortable enough, talk about the choices you are struggling with right now.
- Do you believe God has my best interest at heart?

About Time (Searching For Wisdom, Pt. 1)
The quality of most every area of our lives - our health, our relationships, our careers, and our spiritual lives - are not determined by one given action (or inaction) on one particular day. For example, if you workout for just one day, you’re not likely to see immediate gains in your physique. Or if you skip reading scripture for a day or two, your relationship with God isn’t going to dissipate overnight. Rather, real gains in our lives are made from decisions and commitments that have a cumulative value only in consistency and persistence.

As you seek spend your time wisely, we hope this series inspires you to equally consider the sources of wisdom you use to do so.
