The Lord Directed Their Paths
(Proverbs 3:5-6)

​Introduction:

         1. In these verses Solomon revealed:
             a. some important instructions
             b. the special blessing that the Lord will provide for those who practice these instructions.
         2. In our lesson we are examining 5 Bible characters whose paths were directed by the Lord.

Discussion:


I.           ABRAHAM


         A. God told Abraham to go to a place He would show him (Genesis 12:1-3).
         B. We read about Abraham's response in Genesis 12:4-5; Hebrews 11:8-10.
         C. Abraham followed Solomon's instructions.
         D. Consequently, God directed Abraham's paths.

II.          JOSEPH


         A. Joseph's brothers sold him to some merchantmen who took him to Egypt (Genesis 37:28).
         B. Later, Joseph told his brothers that God had directed him to Egypt, not them (Genesis 45: 4-8).
         C. Joseph followed Solomon's instructions.
         D. Consequently, God directed his paths.

III.         MOSES  (Hebrews 11:23-28)


         A. Moses followed Solomon's instructions.
         B. Consequently, God directed his paths.

IV.         PETER  (Luke 5:1-11)


         A. Peter learned an important lesson about following Solomon's instructions.
         B. Peter also learned an important lesson about having the Lord direct his paths.

V.          PAUL  (Acts 16:6-12)


         A. Paul certainly followed Solomon's instructions.
         B. Consequently, God directed his paths.
         C. Lydia and her household and the jailer and his house were converted.

Conclusion:


         1. Today we have observed the 10th anniversary of the occasion when we first met as a congregation.
         2. Let us thank God for His abundant blessings.
         3. As we look to the future, let us heed Solomon's words of wisdom.
