NETTIE-PLAIN: I find myself at a pivotal point in my life in which I do more praying than talking. I still have opinions but I seek wisdom.
JAMES 1:5 NEW KING JAMES VERSIONIf any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
We all need wisdom that come from YHWH and not man. As we look around today we see: fear, anger, confusion and rebellion.
I am taking you with me, I will be exploring the book of PROVERBS. This will take more than 31 days. I would suggest you take your own notes, cross reference your own bible or do as I do utilize BIBLE GATEWAY.
One of the first Bible verses I remembered, not memorized was Proverbs 4:7, it struck to me as intensely as Matthew 6:33 has.
PROVERBS 4:7 NEW KING JAMES VERSION
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.
Many Bible scholars have knowledge, very few have understanding and even fewer have wisdom.
ROMANS 12:16 THE VOICE
Work toward unity, and live in harmony with one another. Avoid thinking you are better than others or wiser than the rest; instead, embrace common people and ordinary tasks.
I believe, one of the major devisions we have today in the “church” is the pseudo-hierarchy. We are divided by a multitude of concepts- be it by college degree: PhD, Masters, B.S. etcetera; or title: Pope, Apostle, Bishop, Evangelist, Prophetess, etcetera; or denomination / theology: Baptist, Methodist, Charismatic, Catholic, and so forth.
Yeshua said: “every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.”
Matthew 12:25 (King James Version)
And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
The church is falling apart. The people OF Yahovah Eloheem are falling. But there is hope:
PSALM 91:9-16 THE VOICE
For you made the Eternal [your] refuge,the Most High your only home. No evil will come to you; plagues will be turned away at your door.
He will command His heavenly messengers to guard you, to keep you safe in every way. They will hold you up in their hands so that you will not crash, or fall, or even graze your foot on a stone. You will walk on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the lion and the serpent underfoot.
“Because he clings to Me in love, I will rescue him from harm; I will set him above danger. Because he has known Me by name, he will call on Me, and I will answer. I’ll be with him through hard times; I’ll rescue him and grant him honor. I’ll reward him with many good years on this earth and let him witness My salvation.”
The answer is always Lord God- Yahovah Eloheem. I challenge you to join me as I seek His wisdom amongst man’s chaos. - Marsha
