  12. God’s patience is long, but limited.

  14. 2. The Rejection of Wisdom (1:24-32)

  15. Four negative attitudes towards counsel and rebuke

  16. You rejected me = stubborn refusal

  17. You gave no heed = • insensitive tuning out

  18. Advice is practical instruction; rebuke is pointing out error.

  19. You ignored my advice = indifference

  20. You would not accept rebuke = defensiveness

  21. Wisdom calls but is not “on call.”

  22. Charles Bridges says, “Prayer, once omnipotent, will then be powerless.”

  23. The perfect storm of your life is not when you fail, but when you succeed and you finally get your perfect life, with you at the center. It’s the poison of your kingdom coming and your will being done.

  24. C. S. Lewis wrote, “There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, ‘Thy will be done,’ and those to whom God will say, ‘Thy will be done.’”

  25. 3. The Reception of Wisdom (1:33)

  26. “At ease from the dread of evil” does not mean the righteous will never experience evil, but they will be free from worry and anxiety, experiencing God’s peace.
