Wisdom Promotes Your Focus

"Wise people are wise because they know what to do, foolish people are foolish because there wisdom deceives." Proverbs 14:8 

Focus on: Wisdom promotes your focus 

Wisdom is one of the key virtues that everyone needs and wants. Wisdom is very important and promotes where you put your focus. Your spiritual house needs to be built on the right area, the right things. Proverbs 14:1 says "Wisdom builds a house but foolishness brings it down" When we make wise decisions, we gain knowledge, a bit like a game. If you do the right thing, you get a point. Wisdom prevents us from the way of death. "There is a way that seems right to someone but leads to the way of death" - Proverbs 14:12 

Wisdom gives us knowledge and helps us do things carefully. You may ask: "Why does Isaiah say that the wise' knowledge will be brought down?" (Isaiah 29:14) 
This is what Isaiah meant: 

People who are self-confident and think they know more than God, will be destroyed. Because wisdom comes from God. Everybody is being fed knowledge by God once you are humble. "A [self-confident] fool has no delight in understanding but only in revealing his personal opinions and himself" - Proverbs 18:2 Amplified. Knowledge and Wisdom come from God's. Which means if we think we know more than the creator, King and Omega, the person who made us, God let's us go astray. Sometimes it's best for people to find out themselves. The book of Proverbs has a lot about wisdom: Chapters 13,14,15,16 

So: Promote Wisdom!

Revere Christ as Lord!

"But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." - 1 Peter 3:15. Whenever we are being trialled or tested for our faith, we should never deny it. Take the opportunity to tell them about God. Preach to them and give them the chance to hear about God. It may work, it may not. But all you know is, you accomplished your part of the mission. You've preached to them. Now it's there decision to come to Christ. Notice the Bible says do it with GENTLENESS. We don't use violence to try and preach the Gospel. We don't force people to believe in our reality. We use one of the fruit of the spirit (See Galatians 5:22 for a full list) Now you may wonder why Peter says 'with respect' when God says: "Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:" - Acts 10:34.

Most Powerful

8 I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. (‭Psalms‬ ‭16‬:‭8‬ KJV) In this verse, David is actually having a revelation about Jesus from the Holy Ghost. Let me explain. You see- as Christians, Jesus is the one who is before us. The One we follow. He is at our right hand and protects us. And because of Him, we are not moved. The Lord is you Leader, Provider and Guide. Without him, your steps would be without guide and you would have no knowledge of the path you are taking. You would be vulnerable to Satan and he will be able to destroy you. But-thank God- he can't destroy us. Christ lives in us, the most powerful Thing ever!
