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!

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life. God is our Director leading us-even of the path LOOKS right, it doesn't mean it IS right. God knows best so we shouldn't be no-it-alls. Humble your self!

Key = Blue = Scripture  Red = Answers to questions  Green = Verses to read in your spare time. Black = Normal post Bold = Question  "Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." - Jeremiah 33:3.  Many people either don't believe in God, or become atheists, partly because of this question: Why doesn't God answer some of my prayers?  Answer: This is because of your heart. Before you ask this question you must ask yourself, am I pure? Have I sinned by mistake and need forgiveness? Or are my thoughts starting to make my light darken? Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...

Christ Died For Me! Romans 5:8

"But God shows His love for us on that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" - Romans 5:8 Sin. God. Not friends. God tells us to love one another, but we only have one enemy. Satan. The person who wants to wipe out mankind forever. One of his main servants is Sin. Something that cannot get is close to God. But how does he bait us in? How? Worldly pleasures. Money, Fame, Huge businesses, Children and everything you could ever wish for. Satan shall give you these things but they shall not last long. Only things from Jesus last eternal, if we follow Him. SEE Joel 2:32 Jesus paid a big price to make us clean and pure. He died. It was only a heavenly body that could rescue us. Why not the Angels? You may ask. You see, they needed to be in the form of a human, which could not be possible before Jesus died. So God sent his Son. He gave up his pride and joy. His most beloved son. SEE John 3:16. We do not have to pay that huge debt. We would have to DIE if Jesus had not d...
