Wisdom

Wisdom
I Cor.1:25-27 NKJV
"Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty;"
What makes more sense: utilizing one's own limited strength and resources or allowing unlimited resources and strength to work through you? Consider the ramifications of doing this and consider the logic of the alternative. 

In God's wisdom, He has given us the means, the time, the opportunity, the instructions on the how, the outline, even real life examples of how it is all to be done. Through following Him, ultimately His Son, we have access to unlimited resources and Divine wisdom; we have the direct word from our Creator and Sustainer. What sense does it make for us to try and go through this life on our own faulty, foolish, fallible, and limited wisdom? The Eternal Creator has given our eternal soul the wisdom it needs to live forever with Him; we would be fools - in every sense of that word - to reject His wisdom and go it alone. 

What sort of life are you living? Is your life one that is living and breathing in the foolishness of this world, thinking yourself wise, when in reality you're a fool? To reject God, His word, His way is truly the height of foolishness and it will condemn us for eternity. 

Now, how wise or foolish will we be this day? Our answer is not in what we say, for man can speak an awfully good game, rather it is in what we actually do. We will be judged by the deeds done in this flesh; will we conduct ourselves through God's unlimited revealed wisdom or man's finite, fake, and foolish attempt at wisdom? Reject the "wisdom" of this world and accept the true wisdom of God. Our eternal home is weighed in the balance of our deeds, choose to walk with God here so we can dwell in eternity with Him there. Be wise today.

Resist

Resist The word resist has different meanings in the following texts, did you know that? I didn't. Let's look at the meanings: James 4:6 --> God resists the proud... "to range in battle against" James 4:7 --> resist the devil... "to set oneself against, oppose" 1Pet.5:9 --> resist satan... "to set oneself against, oppose" Our resistance of that which is evil is to set ourselves against it or be in opposition to it; else, if we fail in this responsibility, God's resistance of us will be as the resistance of warfare - we will be in battle against Him. Let's dwell on that thought for just a moment... Failure to oppose sin amounts to being proud, being proud causes God to resist us - which means going to war against God. So, if we're going to war against God, let's consider the utter futility of such an action that we choose to do by our sin. We must ask, "When has God ever lost? When has the Almighty ever failed? W

Through God We Will Do Valiantly

Through God We Will Do Valiantly " Give us help from trouble,  For the help of man  is  useless.  Through God we will do valiantly,  For  it is  He  who  shall tread down our enemies. " Psalm 60:11-12 NKJV Do you know what it is to be delivered by God? If you're a Christian, that answer is "Yes!" and you know the beauty of being delivered out of the hand of your adversary. You have your own battles and I have mine. Some may have battled addictions, others a lifestyle, while others deal with various other sins which gets its claws into you and refuses to let go. Perhaps you're currently enslaved to a sin and think there's no way out. There is only one sure way out of our sin, and that is with the Lord. Make no mistake, our adversary is strong, he is a mighty foe, yet our Lord is stronger and mightier than all. With the Lord is deliverance, hope, strength, trust, joy, and life. With our adversary is certain death, destruction, sorrow, fear, lies, an

The Art of Avoidance

The Art of Avoidance How much of our time in this life is spent trying to avoid pain, heartache, disappointment? How many people run to the doctor to get a pill that will numb them so they don't have to feel? How many run to a vice of some sort when they feel the pressures of life coming down, or when the ugly and painful side of life rears its head? How many people isolate and imprison themselves so they don't have to experience the ups and downs of life? They run and run, only to be overcome and overwhelmed by more pain and lower lows. How many of these people are Christians?  How much of this describes you?  How much describes me? The art of avoidance is a deceitful and destructive practice. When we seek to avoid the pains of life, that which makes us uncomfortable, then we miss out on life. We defeat ourselves when we seek a chemical, or some vice, to help us cope, to help us escape and avoid life's natural occurrences.  Think of Jesus at the cross.
