GODLY WISDOM IS AVAILABLE
TO ALL WHO WOULD
SEEK THE BENEFITS THEREOF
Do we value wisdom that would so affect our behavior and conduct?
To perceive includes understanding
and it is of utmost importance
we start by having a hearing ear
that is open and responsive
AS WE ARE WILLING TO TURN WE SEE THE PROMISE
THAT THERE WILL BE AN OUTPOURING OF THE
SPIRIT OF GOD WHEREBY WE WILL KNOW AND
THEREBY UNDERSTAND
Turn and I will pour out of my Spirit
and I will make known my words unto you
Proverbs 1:23
What do we ultimately pursue?
Ez. 33:31 their heart goeth after covetousness
Prov. 2:17-19 forsaking their guide and forget the covenant of God
THE FEAR OF THE LORD is the BEGINNING OF KNOWLEDGE but FOOLS DESPISE WISDOM and DISCIPLINE
Proverbs 1:7
LISTEN and DO NOT FORSAKE
THE INSIGHT WHICH THE LORD WOULD UNFOLD
Wisdom is needed for everyday life but we need to develop spiritual insight focusing on God and allowing his character and nature to be a reality in accordance to our relationship with Him
BE OPEN AND RESPONSIVE HAVING A TEACHABLE SPIRIT
Divine wisdom needs to be a basic attitude affecting every aspect of our life and is the foundation of appropriating knowledge which will honor God to thereby live in the power and presence of the Lord responding to His word.
FAITH CONTROLS OUR PRINCIPLES AND AFFECTS OUR UNDERSTANDING, OUR ATTITUDES AND SUBSEQUENT ACTIONS.
TRUST IS REFLECTED IN WISDOM
What are our values, morals and priorities and what or who do we reverence and ultimately depend on?
DOES THE WORD OF GOD HAVE A RELEVANT
PLACE IN OUR HEART AND LIFE?
The mind of Christ needs to be revealed in our interactions in life
as we so listen and respond to His guidance.
GOD IS MORE THAN WILLING TO POUR OUT OF HIS HEART AND MAKE KNOWN HIS THOUGHTS TO US
but
WE MUST BE WILLING TO LISTEN AND SUBSEQUENTLY RESPOND
Our choices determine the subsequent fruit that is manifest
in our daily life
JESUS IS LORD
but
IS HE LORD OF OUR OWN HEART and LIFE?
Let us not look to the ways of man
but keep our focus steadfast on the
LORD JESUS CHRIST
thereby appropriating the benefits thereof
and encountering all that He has so revealed and promised
STAND STEADFAST IN THE LORD
DISCOVER THE TRUE SOURCE OF WISDOM
and
THEREBY WALK THEREIN
