“Let the wise hear and increase in learning and the one who understands obtain guidance… Like a gold ring or an ornament of gold is a wise reprover to a listening ear… Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God…
Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger… He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Proverbs 1:5, 25:12; John 8:47; James 1:19; Matthew 11:15

How to do this as a weekly Bible study
Day One: Experience
Read the entire devotion. Do any verses stand out to you? If so, write it down and work on memorizing it over the week. I personally love the app “Scripture Typer.”
Day Two: Observe & Read
Chain. Look up and chain verses (For example on how to chain verses, see this video).
Day Three: Interpret
Read through the chain of verses starting with the first one. What do they say? Do you notice when it says “never” or “always” or “If, but, however, therefore, all…..”
Day Four: Application
Do “Your turn” and make a list of people that God has put on your heart when you read this.
Day Five: Testify
Who in your life, right now, can you share this with? There is somebody in your life that needs to hear this. Close your eyes. What name came to mind?
Would you like to get more involved in the beLydia Movement?
Parents and friends, there are kids being sold for sex right now and they are still going to school and their parents have no idea.
They are being tricked, (often through social media and texting apps) into sharing compromising photos and then trapped into selling more or are tricked into having sex.
WE CAN PREVENT THIS THROUGH SHARING AWARENESS.
