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!

What makes faith work? Learn MORE about faith in this devotional...

"That according to the riches of His glory, He may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith..." - Ephesians 3:16-17 KJV Okay. I wanted to talk a little bit more on faith. When Paul writes 'dwell in your hearts through faith' what does it mean? This means that we have to show our confidence and belief in Christ, before He comes into our hearts. He knows when we want to trick Him or not. So don't bother being cunning! Because wisdom comes from the Lord! So, if our human efforts cannot make faith to work, what can? (Zechariah 4:6) Our confidence and belief in Jesus! We just have to say, "Jesus, take care of this for me. I don't want to any more. I can't do it by my own power." Acknowledging that you can't do it alone, gives you the first step forward. Then comes the hard bit. When I mean hard, I mean HARD. Because most people people fall away aft...

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...
