Proverbs 20: ²⁷Our inner thoughts are a lamp from the LORD, and they search our hearts.
Psalm 139: ¹You have looked deep into my heart, LORD, and you know all about me. ²You know when I am resting or when I am working, and from heaven you discover my thoughts. (CEV)
1. Why does God want to know our thoughts from Heaven?

Isaiah 43: ⁸Bring my people together. They have eyes and ears, but they can't see or hear.
Matthew 13: ¹⁵All of them have stubborn minds! Their ears are stopped up, and their eyes are covered. They cannot see or hear or understand. If they could, they would turn to me, and I would heal them." ¹⁶But God has blessed you, because your eyes can see and your ears can hear!
2. What can we do to clear away the blind thinking of others and ourselves?

Genesis 4: ⁶The LORD said to Cain: What's wrong with you? Why do you have such an angry look on your face? ⁷If you had done the right thing, you would be smiling. (CEV)
3. How can we explain God's reading of Cain's attitudes from his body language?

Road Signs for Relationships
STOP: Proverbs 10: ¹⁹You will say the wrong thing if you talk too much so be sensible and watch what you say. ²⁰The words of a good person are like pure silver, but the thoughts of an evil person are almost worthless. (CEV)
4. Describe some ways you have discovered for saying the right thing at the right time.

YIELD: James 1: ¹⁹My dear friends, you should be quick to listen and slow to speak or to get angry. ²⁰If you are angry, you cannot do any of the good things that God wants done. (CEV)
5. How does God's advice help us to do good and think our way out of anger?

ROAD CLOSED: Revelation 3: ²⁰Listen! I am standing and knocking at your door. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in and we will eat together. (CEV)
6. Describe how Christ helps us open up ourselves when our door is closed.

CAUTION: Proverbs 17: ²⁷It makes a lot of sense to be a person of few words and to stay calm. ²⁸Even fools seem smart when they are quiet. Proverbs 18: ²⁴Some friends don't help, but a true friend is closer than your own family. (CEV)
7. Why are true friends closer than our own family and help us when we need to be cautious?

GO: Proverbs 25: ¹¹The right word at the right time is like precious gold set in silver. ¹²Listening to good advice is worth much more than jewelry made of gold. (CEV)
8. What do we learn from this on the power of the spoken word for good advice and wisdom?
