AUTHENTIC WISDOM!

Proverbs 10:23 – Devotional

Proverbs 10:23

“It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.”

“He thinks he’s such a wise guy!” Most of us have heard this expression to describe a person who behaves in a thoughtless manner while seemingly thinking it does not matter how his actions may adversely affect others.

The older I get, the more sensitive I become to how easy it is to cause pain to those around us. Our words or even expressions may turn someone’s day on its end and crush their spirit.

As faithful followers of the Lord Jesus Christ we should make it our aim to build others up rather than leave them feeling crushed and in despair. I know from personal experience what it is like to be taunted and rejected. As a counselor I discovered that many, if not most people that we come in contact with throughout the day are dealing with feelings of inadequacy.

As followers of Jesus we should make it our aim to build others up rather than tearing them down. We should make it our primary aim to encourage the disappointed and lift the fallen in spirit. Authentic wisdom is to share the Real Hope of the world which is Jesus and His saving blood to give us eternal salvation!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

SEEK GOD FIRST!

Proverbs 8:17 – Devotional

Proverbs 8:17

I love them that love Me; and those that seek Me early shall find Me.

Sadly I have heard the expression; “When all else fails, try the Lord.” In fact He is the first One we should seek and we should seek His presence continually all through the day and night!

The world is full of self-proclaimed gurus who have all the answers. It is tragic that our so-called Public TV stations carry program after program of such nonsense that give a hint of special insight (if you purchase their book or product).

Rather than succumb to the siren call of the world we need to spend quality time reading God’s Word. Rather than going to the Word as a last result, we need to feed on it first thing in the morning, all through the day and just before sleep.

I leave us with a favorite passage from Proverbs 3:5-6. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths!”

Let this portion of God’s Word lead and guide you throughout your day!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

LET JESUS BE SEEN!

Proverbs 3:5-6 – Devotional

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with your whole heart and do not rely on your own understanding. In all your ways give God the credit, and He will direct you..

Day after day and year after year I sit here at my computer and make a valiant attempt to find the right words to touch some person who stands in need of that very word.

It reminds me that I am not responsible on who reads the words that the Lord places in my heart, I only place my complete trust in the Lord and allow Him to direct the right words to the right person at the right time.

It sounds simple when I write it like that, but in reality I most often feel I fail to get the word across the net to the one who needs it. From the very first I have prayed that one person will be touched by what the Lord enables me to write.

My encouragement to each reader is to place your trust in the Lord. Make it your aim to pass the good news of salvation to those around you. Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in and through you!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

LISTEN CAREFULLY!

Proverbs 5:7 – Devotional

Proverbs 5:7

Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of My mouth.

How do we listen carefully? I think the answer is in blocking out extraneous sounds that prevent us from hearing clearly what we want to hear. For music I find that headphones create an entirely new world of sound quality. Music that I enjoy without headphones bring enjoyment, but with the headphones I enter a whole new world of appreciation of the music.

In like manner when I study the Bible, I often am transfixed by reading chapter after chapter and finding new and glorious appreciation for the revelation of eternal truth. It stuns me that many believers neglect the thrill of discovering how our loving God desires a personal relationship with us!

I have come more and more to approach the study of God’s Word with quiet assurance that God is far more anxious to meet with me than I am with Him. How can it be that the God of the universe wants to spend time with the likes of me? Then I read that He even cares for the sparrows, so He also cares for each of us!

Listen carefully as the Lord will speak to you as you open the pages of your Bible (or listen to a recording of Scripture). God loves each of us enough to come in humanity and give Himself for our eternal salvation. LISTEN CAREFULLY!

Blessings dear hearts! Walk with God today and be a blessing.
