Wake Before the Day

Wealth without wisdom is destructive. Wisdom without wealth can be good. Wisdom and wealth together are powerful tools in God's hands. Walk humbly. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

God looks past outward appearances and sees the heart. It's good to reflect not only on what is said and done but also the motivation behind them. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Should we apologize for "little sins"? Why does it benefit us to slow down and not be so "quick" in our words and deeds? @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Desire with no discipline is destructive. Desire with discipline will lead to a fruitful life! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Proverbs 12 is all about our WORDS - our words matter. This chapter breaks down what the speech of the righteous sounds like compared to the speech of the wicked. Let's dive into this much needed chapter and examine the ways we talk to one another. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Not cursing is not the same as blessing.  Silence can be good. Today brings opportunity to speak life. What will it be? @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Are we diligent or lazy? Instead of burying your mistakes and trying to justify them let's learn from them! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Initially the ways of wisdom and foolishness may look similar but they end up in vastly different places. We need discernment! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Godly living should be persuasive. Do your words and life align? Wisdom is a giver not a taker. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Guard God's Word and keep it as the apple of your eye! What does that mean? What does it look like for us to practically do this? @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

The sluggard (laziness) and the scoundrel (thief) act in unloving ways. Fire can be an instrument of death or life. The difference? Self-control! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

"Who has my ear? Who's voice influences my thinking and formation? At the end of the day, everything is done under the gracious supervision of God.  @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Receive wisdom and pass it on. Leave a legacy behind you that will last and glorify God! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

This book talks a lot about discipline, often we hear of discipline and think of it as a "bad" thing. Turns out its a great gift! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

God's "word and way" act as guardian and guardrail for our life. Accept, remember and apply God's word to your life today! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Wisdom is not a secret, it is not found in a game of spiritual hide and seek. God is available and wants you to be wise! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

This Psalm begins and ends pointing out God's righteousness - let's call it a righteousness sandwich! The heart of the Psalm tells us to spend time reflecting and meditating on God's past faithfulness, a common theme in this book! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

When we ask for help God we believe God gives us what we need. It might not always be what we wished or hoped for but we trust that God only gives us what is best. Psalm 138 concludes by essentially saying, "God fulfill your purposes in my life!" Let's pray the same for us today! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Psalm 121 holds a special place in our heart. It is one of the first passages of scripture we memorized as a family. It tells us that God not only watches over us but he protects us day and night and in our coming and in our going! Join us as we see what we learn about God and ourselves in this chapter. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

While praise and worship can take many different "shapes and sizes", this Psalm is all about loud shouts of praise and joy filled worship songs. In this podcast we'll discuss who God is and what he has done! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Blessed are those whose hearts are set on pilgrimage! (Psalm 84:5) We were created for a relationship with God, and the Psalmist says those who go through the ups and downs of this life focused on God will be blessed. Let's unpack this encouraging chapter that wraps up reminding us that God doesn't withhold any good thing from those he loves! @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www...

The Psalmist names something we have all experienced at some point - envy of those in the world and are successful. We wrestle with the idea that the "grass is greener on the other side" when in reality it rarely is. Let's unpack Psalm 73 together. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

We all go through "wilderness" seasons but we all go through these seasons differently. Is our focus on the Lord or our problems? Regardless of what we're going through King David invites into praise.   @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

In Psalm 51 King David walks us through his confession in light of his adultery with Bathsheeba and the murder of her husband. In the midst of the pain, this Psalm is a beautiful gift for us today as we too need to be walking to continual repentance. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la

Psalm 40 begins with thanksgiving and ends with lament. It talks about trusting in God and doing his will while pleading for protection from enemies. The Psalmist gives us a reminder to always focus on God's faithfulness, regardless of our circumstances. How has God been faithful in your life? Let's unpack this. @klarckorver @bobbiekorver @erclosangeles www.erc.la info@erc.la
