Wisdom 3
James 1:5 – If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach.
Here, God is telling us that if you or I are lacking in wisdom, all we have to do is ask for it to be given to us! It’s literally that simple, ask. Jesus tells us in Matthew 7:7, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and he who seeks finds, knock, and it will be open to you.” So often times we feel like we have to do something for God to obtain wisdom from Him. Or, we might feel like we have to jump through hoops in order for Him to give it to us. But that’s not how our good Fathers works. He says it’s freely given to those who come and knock on the door.  I believe that God wants to bless us through our persistence in asking. He gives us the chance to open up the blinds and allows us to look at all the wonderful scenery that is before us. The scenery shows us a better understanding to who He is and what He wants to do through us.
In Matt 7:8, it continues on saying that if we ask, we surely will receive! Dude, that’s a promise. For the past 2 years, this is theme has been coming up in my prayers a lot. I ask my Father to grant me the privilege of opening up my eyes, so that I can further my understanding of what wisdom, knowledge and discernment truly is. I ask Him to help me not only understand it, but to live it out and apply it to my life daily. Which I seem to fail at every day, I’m not going to lie.  But honestly, thank you God for your unending grace and mercy that You continually lavished it upon me.
Application

Today I will write down a verse that helps me understand what it looks like to walk out wisdom.

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...
