"ASPIRANT TO WISDOM"

It's my prayer that all is well with each and every one of you.

We must store up knowledge in this life, but if we don't seek God's wisdom we are heading for a fall. The Father wants us to be wise and to consistently make judgments showing God's savvy.

If you are not reading and studying the Bible on a daily basis I believe that you will not be able to stand the enticement of the devil. In order for us to walk, we must crawl. Before we start our adult lives we must endeavor to educate ourselves in the things of God. My wife and I found much value in the book of Proverbs when our children were just toddlers.

"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction (Prov.1:7)".

The Merriam - Webster Dictionary defines the word fool as " a person who lacks sense or judgment." We should be a 'seeker of wisdom', the knowledge that we possess should be dispatched with confidence. It's important for us not to keep our knowledge of God to ourselves. Don't hide or divide the bedrock of knowledge is to fear the LORD, as we honor and reverence the LORD, be mindful to share. Some of you are aware that one of my favorite books of the Bible is "Joshua". He truly was a wise leader and he set under the pedagogy of Moses, who learned all he could from the Egyptians and then all he could from God. I believe gravitating towards those of wisdom will keep us on the straight and narrow.

I'm reminded of Proverbs 3:5-6 " Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. (6) In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight."

Talk over all your decisions with the Father, spend time in the Word of God as it will never steer you wrong. We should always be willing to listen to and be corrected by God's Word and wise counselors.

Until next time...
