Get Wisdom

  Get wisdom

In the book of Proverbs we read,

"Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or swerve from them. 

Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you. 

Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. 

Esteem her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honour you. 

She will set a garland of grace on your head and present you with a crown of splendour." Proverbs 4:5-9.

What is wisdom? Here’s one definition I believe sums wisdom up, 

“the ability or result of an ability to think and act utilizing knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense, and insight.”

When it comes to being a Christian. A true believer in Christ Jesus. We need to ask God to give us wisdom in all situations in life.

One of the best ways is to pray and study the scriptures, not just read them. Pray and ask God to show you the truths held within the Bible. At the same time look at what various people in the Bible did. How they overcome problems.

Question... Do you ask God to give you wisdom, especially when dealing with other people?

Why not take some time right now to pray and ask God for wisdom.

            Please think about it.

Necessary or Unnecessary

 Necessary or Unnecessary 

Jesus said,

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.  

For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:7,8.

Here I believe Jesus is talking about spiritual things. He is saying that anyone who is truly seeking answers about God, God will provide them with answers. If they knock (pray earnestly) the door of knowledge will open to Gods throne room.

        Sadly many do not get answers to their prayers because they ask amiss. They ask for material things money etc.

In the book of James we read,

“When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.” James 4:3.

As believers in Christ Jesus we should always look to what is motivating our prayers. While there are times when we need to ask God for our material needs. We should always question our motives. Looking to see if what we are asking for lines up with what we truly need.

When you ask God for things do you ask Him for necessary or unnecessary things?

Please think about it.

The Greatest Adventure

The greatest adventure
Jesus said,
"So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.  
For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." Luke 11:9,10.
Raphael Simon wrote,
“To fall in love with God is the greatest of all romances; to seek him, the greatest adventure; to find him, the greatest human achievement.” Raphael Simon.
I firmly believe that if you are truly serious about finding God He will reveal himself to you. The key is you need to be truly searching for God. You need to have faith that God exists, The writer of the book of Hebrews states,

“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for 

and certain of what we do not see.”  

                                              Hebrews 11:1

“And without faith it is impossible to please God, 

because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists 

and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” 

                                                              Hebrews 11:6

Thus my questions,
Do you have faith that God exists? If so are you truly seeking God?
Please think about it.

He who truly seeks finds

He who truly seeks finds

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; 

knock and the door will be opened to you.  

For everyone who asks receives;

 he who seeks finds; 

and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” 

                                                         Matthew 7:7,8.

I believe those words of Jesus quoted above, especially when it comes to God. I believe that anyone who is truly looking for God will find Him.
The thing is many who do not believe in God, have either not looked for Him, or simply conclude that since they can’t physically see God he doesn’t exist.
C. S. Lewis said,
“He shows much more of Himself to some people than to others-not because He has favourites, but because it is impossible for Him to show Himself to a man whose whole mind and character are in the wrong condition.”  C. S. Lewis.
We must be searching for God in order to find him. If we simply say I can’t see God therefor he doesn’t exist. Then we will never find God. We must have faith that God exists in order to find God.
The writer of Hebrews states,

“And without faith it is impossible to please God, 

because anyone who comes to him 

must believe that he exists 

and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” 

                                                              Hebrews 11:6

The question is do you have faith that God exists?
Ben Zion Bokser wrote,
“I have not seen the robin but I know he is there because I heard him singing through my window from the tree-top outside.
I have not seen God.  But I have looked at my child’s eyes, and have been overwhelmed by the miracle of unfolding life.
I have watched the trees bedeck themselves with new garbs of green in the spring, and have been stirred by the miracle of continual rebirth.
I have looked at the stars, and have been overcome by the miracle of the grandeur and majesty of the universe.
I know that God exists, because I have heard the song of His presence from all the tree-tops of creation.” Ben Zion Bokser
Thus the choice is yours.
Do you believe in God or not?
Only you can decide.
Please think about it.
