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!

STOP HOLDING ONTO FLESH!

“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” John 14:21 KJV http://bible.com/1/jhn.14.21.kjv We can see from this verse that a true follower of Jesus obeys his commands. But why do we find it difficult to follow Jesus? It’s because we are still holding onto flesh. We don’t want to let go, we think we can be both of God and of the flesh. But for you to work with God, the flesh must be dead. The flesh is your mind, emotions and your will. I repeat, God cannot work with you if the flesh is still alive. We cannot still hold on to the flesh. We are still sitting on the fence, not going in or out. Jesus said: “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:16 KJV http://bible.com/1/rev.3.16.kjv Let’s stop holding onto the flesh!

Pondering the Bible: How can a good God allow evil?

""The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9 NKJV http://bible.com/114/jer.17.9.nkjv Q:  How can a good God allow evil?  This is the question I get from many Christianity skeptics. Well, let’s think all the way back to the beginning. God gave Adam and Eve a choice. To remain in His goodness, and enjoy a peaceful, free life, or go their own way and define good and evil for yourself. We all know what happened. The point I’m trying to make is,  man chose to do evil.  If you decide to deliberately burn yourself by putting your hand in an oven, you can’t blame the cook for that. It’s the same thing!  Man chose to do evil.  Well, why can’t God get rid of evil?  Do you want to remove your existence? Well, God doesn’t. You see, if God removed evil, He would have to remove man in the process, as man is evil. But He found a way to remove evil from us without wiping us out. He sent Jesus to die for u...

The Godly Godliness

1 Timothy 4:7 -  7  Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales;  rather, train yourself to be godly.  The godliness Paul is talking about here means piety to God, a revered holiness. What do I mean? Well, on what we do we should have a holiness for him. Our clothing, people should be able to say 'this is a real Christian'. Our behaviour should also have a holiness. A fear of God. As the Bible says, the fear of God gives life. This holiness is about the things you do, how you respond to God and to the things of God. Our character influences the way we live and what we do-it's the way people determine who you are, for it is always the inner man the speaks out. They are books and magazines you shouldn't read, things you shouldn't watch and games you shouldn't play. The excuse 'it's Christian' won't work this time! Watch with your children - make sure you are sure of what they watch. Never forget who you are in Christ: His own, o...
