Wisdom 2
Psalms 111:10 – The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; All those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever.
Psalms is telling us that in order to obtain wisdom, we must first fear the Lord.  What is fear?  My mom told me that fear is almost like having healthy respect for God. With that, the Bible tells us that our fear should be clean and pure. (Psalms 19:9) It also says that if we fear God, we shall not want for anything (psalms 34:9). If we fear the Lord, it brings protections and provision. (Prov 29:25) We are called to, “The fear of God and obey his commandments (Ecc 12:13).  We are also heard by God because of our godly fear. “If we walk in fear of God and comfort in the Holy Spirit.” I say “If” a lot because it’s a choice. We can choose to fear Him or we would lack in knowledge and fear and be a fool. But this is when I ask, why wouldn’t we want to fear Him? For Jeremiah 10:7 says, “Who would not fear You (God), O King of the nations? For this is Your rightful due. For among all the wise men of the nations, And in all their kingdoms, There is none like you.”
When I started to fear God, that’s when He starts to unfolds Himself to me. He unfolds His secrets and truths that He has planned for me. He starts to let me look through His miraculous eye, and things start to come into perspective. With much clarity.  After unfolds and reveals things to me, is when my wisdom and understanding start to take on a new form. My wisdom starts to shape my discernment and knowledge. He says that we also need to practice it! I need to start putting this into action. I need to start seeking the Lords wisdom through a fearful perspective, rather than my own perspective.
Application:

I will write down a bible verse to encourage me to pursue the Lord through a fearful perspective tonight.

Blessed Deuteronomy 3:21 – “…Your eyes have seen all that the Lord your God has done…” I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to serve in Costa Rica for these past 6 months.   God has shown me so many things that I will never forget. He has revealed to me the truth about myself that I have an attitude of complaining, pridefulness and laziness, all which needed to be strip away. He has displayed to me his promises of faithfulness, provision, fulfillment, renewal, and boldness. He has also allowed me to look through his eyes and experience his love that he has for all his children. Honestly, I don’t ever think that I would have experience that kind of love anywhere else. I can’t even explain it, it’s like complete joy and fulfillment. I don’t know, it’s crazy. That is something that I am going to bring back home with me, I am passionate about kids and loving on them the way the Lord loves me. This season was amazing but, what I have to remember is, that just beca...

Faith Hebrews 11:6 – it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that He rewarder those who sincerely seek him.               Reading over Hebrews 11, and its main focus point is on the topic, “Faith.” When you just stop and think it’s clearly stated. You cannot please God without faith. Like, how can I please you, Father, if I don’t have faith in who you are as my maker? All these people in Hebrews are being led by faith. They literally are relying on God’s promise alone and having no idea what’s coming around the corner. They were obedient to the calling of Christ. It pleases God that we are faithful to His calling in our lives. I like think that our obedience is a sweet fragrance unto Him in the heavens. Pleasing the Lord is what I was put on this world to do. I was created to spread the love of Christ to whoever would receive it. This verse makes a go...

Perseverance 1 Luke 8:11-15 – This is the meaning of the parable; the seed is God’s word. The Seeds that fell on the footpath represent those who hear the message, only to have the devil come and take it away for their hearts and prevent them from believing and being saved. The seeds on the rocky soil represent those who hear the message and receive it with joy. But since they don’t have deep roots, they believe for a while, then they fall away when they face and temptation. The seeds that fall among the thorns represent those who hear the message, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life and so they never grow into maturity. And the seeds that fell on the good soil represents honest, good hearted people who hear God’s word, cling to it, and patiently produce a huge harvest. This whole passage basically is the observations. It’s talking about 4 different kinds of people and what happens after they hear the word of God. The f...
