" Wisdom " The Balance In Your Life

Well here we are again, you know I was just sharing
with someone this week about how fast this year is
passing. It seems that I just sent my oldest friend Tony
a birthday card in January and now it's September already.
This weeks message is about obtaining Wisdom, just
remember that the Bible says: Fools despise Wisdom
and Instruction.
I appreciate that you've taken the time to stop by so let's
get started.

Wisdom can be achieved in two ways: It is a God-
given gift and also the result of a hard targeted search.
Wisdom's starting point is God and his revealed word,
the source of all " Knowledge and Understanding. "
God gives us wisdom and victory but not for drifting
through life or acting irresponsibly with his gifts and
resources. If we are faithful and keep our purpose in
life clearly in mind, he will keep us from pride and greed.

We gain wisdom through a constant process of growing
first, we must honor God. Second, we must realize that
the Bible reveals God's wisdom to us. Third we must make
a lifelong series of right choices and avoid moral pitfalls.
Fourth when we make sinful and poor choices, we must
learn from our errors and recover. People don't develop all
aspects of wisdom at once. For example, some people have
more insight than discretion; others have more knowledge
than common sense. But we can pray for all aspects of
wisdom and take the steps to develop them in our lives.

Are you known for your sagacity, by looking to God we
can fill our hearts with his wisdom and our hearts with his
love. Now don't be fooled - remember what God says about
you and what you were meant to be. Are you known for
your wisdom, after all wisdom is not limited to one's age.
There is a difference, however between human wisdom and
God's wisdom. Question, are you wise in the world, but not
in the things of the Lord? When one turns up their nose to
the things of God that is mocking Him.
" THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING OF
KNOWLEDGE; FOOLS DESPISE WISDOM AND
INSTRUCTION " (PROVERBS 1:7).
Wisdom means considerably more than simply knowing
a lot. It is the primary disposition that affects every aspect
of life. the basis of knowledge is the fear of the Lord; to
honor and respect God; to live in his reverential power, and
and to obey his word. Trust in God, and he will make you
truly wise. " INCLINE YOUR EAR AND HEAR THE WORDS
OF THE WISE " (PROVERBS 22:17).

Can you make wise decisions in all strenuous conditions of
life? Please understand that whenever you need wisdom, all
you have to do is ask for it. Are you hearing me, this is simple
ask God for the wisdom to guide our selections. He is willing
to give us this wisdom, but we will be unable to receive it if
our goals are self-centered instead of God - centered. To
understand God's Will, now that takes time in the Word of
God. Ask Him to show us how to obey it. We must do what
he tells us.

Until Next Time...
