Wisdom

Leave a comment

GOD intends for His People to be wise; not foolish, not haphazard, not flying by the seat of our pants – whatever that means. I’ve heard it all my life, said it, but didn’t really examine it. Wisdom is the better way.

And then we come to Proverbs.
Today, in particular, Proverbs 8.
Oh please read it for yourself. All of it.
See that wisdom was present at creation. See that wisdom remains for those who seek ‘her’.

Wisdom.
Wisdom is as real and strong as any edifice you will walk past today. No, not as tangible as that mortar and steel building but the effects of wisdom in our lives are surely visible.

Wisdom.  Verse 11 For wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire compares with her.  LINK 

35 For whoever finds me finds life and obtains the favor of the LORD.  36 But he who fails to find me harms himself; all who hate me love death.” LINK

Proverbs 8 tells us Wisdom was present with Father GOD when He spoke creation in place — and unless we want to ‘create’ a mess today, we will seek wisdom. We can start with Scripture.

I hope you will.

Good Morning, Family and Friends.
I have been reading from The Psalms this morning. As I have said previously, I am continuing to read the Bible through. I hope to begin 2025 with The Proverbs.

But today I am here with something to consider from Psalm 143.

GOD’s part – our part.

7 Answer me quickly, O LORD; my spirit fails.  Do not hide Your face from me, or I will be like those who descend to the Pit.
8 Let me hear Your loving devotion in the morning, for I have put my trust in You. Teach me the way I should walk, for to You I lift up my soul.
9 Deliver me from my enemies, O LORD; I flee to You for refuge.
10 Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. May Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.  source Psalm 143

I see verse 7 as an urgent cry for help; a desperate situation we think we won’t live through, so we call on The LORD. And naturally, we want Him to answer quickly.
Now let’s get to the HIS part, our part.  We want His loving devotion in the morning and all day long and we can have it — here’s our part: I have put my trust in You. To know the loving devotion of The Father, we have to trust Him. If we lack trust, we will doubt His loving devotion toward us.
If we want Him to teach us the way we should walk, we garaden+path+curve-2293325470 have a part in that and our part is to lift our soul to Him — that is all our emotions we check with Him. When feelings come, when desires come, we take them to Him, and we see what His Word says — are these worthy and holy or not. And if not, in His power and grace, we reject them.  And day by day we learn from Him how we should walk.  It’s a perfect system.
Next. Deliver me from my enemies. Who are my enemies? My flesh, the world’s systems, and the principalities and rulers of darkness. (See Ephesians 6: 10-12)
GOD’s part: Deliverance. He delivers!
My part, your part: Flee. Run to The Father for His Strength to say NO to the temptation, whatever it is. No, I’m not doing that!
Oh, the taste of Victory!!
Teach me to do Your Will and why would He do that? Because HE is our GOD. Why would He lead us? Because HE is good. There is no darkness in Him at all. HE is worthy of our trust. HE is worthy of our sole allegiance.

HIS part. Our part.
Something to ponder, don’t you think?

Day 1 – Good as Done

Leave a comment

img_3459It’s late but I dare not wait till the morning . . .  why? Because right now it is still Day 1. 
Day 2 is fast approaching and I have not a clue what will be written here for Day 2. I am hoping I do indeed write something for Day 2. smile1

Luke 1

Verse 67.
Zechariah was filled with Holy Spirit and he prophesied.
What was his prophesy? Begin with Verse 68 and see.

As you read it, please note he is speaking in past tense!
He says: GOD has visited His People. GOD has redeemed His People. 

And in verse 69 he continues with past tense language!
He has raised up a horn of Salvation in the house of David.

And then in verse 76 he begins to speak over his 8-day-old son.
He says of him, you will go before The LORD to prepare the way for Him.

Do you know that at the time these words were spoken JESUS – YESHUA would not be delivered from His Mother’s womb for another 6 months?
Do you know what this means?
Zechariah KNEW The LORD was already here on planet Earth, He knew He had already left Heaven.
He knew that salvation, (redemption) was as good as done as it would be done when it was done. 

GOD keeps His Word!
When He says it, it is as good as done even before we see it done.

On a side note, do you know what else this means?
Babies are BABIES at conception.

DAY 1!
