Bible Verse of The Day – 9-18-24

1 Kings 4:31 (NKJV) 31 For he was wiser than all men—than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all the surrounding nations.

Solomon was shown tremendous favor by God in many ways.

One of the most well-known is the wisdom that God imparted into him.

It is important to remember that Solomon was young when he became king over Israel, taking over for his father, David.

Historical accounts estimate he was 20 years old when he assumed the throne.

Despite being an adult, Solomon knew he lacked the proper experience needed to rule over God’s people wisely.

And he had the humility to admit this when God came to him in a dream.

1 Kings 3:9 (NKJV) 9 Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?”

This request from Solomon pleased God. And He granted Solomon’s request, making him wiser than any man who had ever lived.

The wisdom given to Solomon was not conventional intellect. It was heavenly wisdom imparted to him solely by way of God’s spirit.

God will work in our lives in ways like this. He is still the same God!

We may not be ruling over kingdoms. We may not be seated on a throne or in high positions of earthly power, but we each have a path God has appointed us to walk. And that walk may sometimes require that we have understanding well beyond our natural abilities.

God gives us wisdom for our daily lives through the Holy Spirit. It is there for the asking.

All we are required to do is take the time and make the effort to seek Him, listen to Him and follow what he shows us to do.

He is as faithful now as He was in the days of Solomon.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-23-24

James 1:5 (NKJV) 5 If 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.

Before we ask God for wisdom, we must reach a place where we are willing to hear Him.

An open heart and the wisdom of God will take us to a new level in our walk with Him!

Growing close to God depends on how much we will let Him in. Will we let Him touch those places in our lives that we are most comfortable in or comfortable with?

This is a tough thing. We get so comfortable with familiarity, almost to the point of being protective of it.

We don’t want anyone to mess with it, bring change to it or cause any disturbance with it.

But, we need to recognize that the comfort we sometimes try to hold onto can be deceiving. In fact, it can be downright crippling. And it can very well be robbing us of great things that God wants to do in our lives; great change that needs to come.

Will we trust Him today, open up our heart and let Him touch us? Yes, in that place of comfort?

There may be a whole other life outside of our comfort zone.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

God bless you!

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-17-23

Proverbs 4:6 (NKJV) Do not forsake her and she will preserve you.

Who is this scripture referring to as her? Wisdom.

Proverbs 4:7 also tells us that wisdom is the principle thing to get.

How do we get such wisdom?

James 1:5 (NKJV) 5 If 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.

Yes, getting wisdom requires us to ask God for it and He will give it generously or in abundance!

The NIV translation says, He will give without finding fault.

We need to hear this and know that God does not look down on us when we come to Him for wisdom.

He doesn’t say, “Oh boy, we’ve been here before, do we have to do this again?”.

No, He does not find fault. He is gracious, and He wants us to go to Him, trusting in Him and asking for His help.

Each time we go to Him and wait on His answer, we have already begun to take the first steps in walking in such wisdom.

In this world we live there will be hard hits and trials that we will have to walk through. But we will remain safe if we seek His wisdom and abide by it.

Proverbs 1:33 (NKJV) But whoever listens to me will dwell safely. and will be secure, without fear of evil.

We all know that when trials hit, fear usually follows. Let us not take the road that fear would lead us down, but remember to listen to the One who knows us better than we know ourselves. He will keep us safe.

2 Thessalonians 3:3 (NKJV) 3 But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-15-23

Romans 11:33 (NKJV) 33 Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!

God is so deep that it is impossible for us to fully discover or understand all of Him.

Paul says it best; the depths of His riches are His wisdom and knowledge. According to Paul, being rich isn’t about money. It is in having God’s wisdom and knowledge.

How do we obtain this? Through studying His word and learning His ways.

In doing this, we gain wisdom to know what He says about certain things.

He gives us knowledge on how to handle very hard situations and His overall stance on the things that we face daily.

Getting His wisdom and knowledge on things brings an understanding to us in ways we would never have thought of on our own.

I pray to God that we all move in His wisdom and knowledge, that we seek after Him, and study to get His word so deeply into our hearts.

You see, the Holy Spirit can not remind us of the things that the Word of God says if we don’t get that word in us.

John 14:26  (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

Many people will sit for hours and read a fiction book, and not think anything of it. But will people consider reading their Bible?

The Bible is the most beautiful love story ever told. A book that has been around for thousands of years.  A book that is filled with real life lessons to learn. A book filled with God’s wisdom and knowledge, right at our fingertips.

Every page has precious nuggets that will help us tremendously if we would apply them.

What are we waiting for? Go after His wisdom and knowledge!

Proverbs 4:7 (NKJV) 7 Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-5-22

Proverbs 31:26 (NKJV) 26 She opens her mouth with wisdom, And on her tongue is the law of kindness.

She opens her mouth with wisdom. Oh, how I pray God make me like this. May my mouth bring wisdom and on my tongue the law of kindness.

What a way to minister, with wisdom and kindness as our guide!

When people sense kindness they relax. They let down their guard, and most times they will open up and be themselves.

That’s our goal as a child of God, to be able to approach people and have them feel comfortable enough to confide in us. To trust us. To know that we are people of our word, and that we care.

Kindness and wisdom will help us to point them to Christ. And from there they too will find the LOVE that changes their hearts for the good, just like it changed ours.

Ezekiel 36:26 (NKJV) 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-8-22

Proverbs 4:7 (NKJV) 7 Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.

There are many things that we can seek in life. And that list of things varies widely across the lives of us all, since we are all unique and diverse, as God created us.

As believers, we may seek very different things related to our walk with God.

Some may seek different spiritual gifts. Others may simply want a stronger walk with God.

Some may seek material blessings; a better job, a new home, a bigger salary, etc.

But there is one thing that we should seek out before any of the rest of these, especially if we’re seeking any kind of material blessing.

That one thing is wisdom; namely, God-inspired, Holy Spirit-led wisdom.

The verse above tells us that wisdom is the principal thing.

The word, “principal”, could also be replaced with primary, main, first, most important, etc.

This tells us that it’s very important, and not to be overlooked.

Why is wisdom so important that we should seek it before seeking these other things?

Because that God-given wisdom will teach us and show us how to handle those things we are seeking once we have received them.

Without wisdom, we will likely wrestle with making sound choices. We will struggle to do what is right with the very things that God has blessed us with.

Having abundant finances without the ability to handle them properly is a recipe for disaster.

Having a better position at our place of employment won’t do us any good if we don’t have the wisdom to make wise decisions.

And this principle carries over into every aspect of our lives.

We absolutely need to have wisdom if we want to avoid constantly making a mess of our lives because of the choices we make.

The best thing about all of this is that God is more than willing to give us that wisdom. We just have to be willing to seek it out and follow what He tells us to do.

And if we spend ample time in His word, we will be sure to glean all of the wisdom we need to live our lives wisely!

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-4-22

Proverbs 8:11 (NKJV) 11 For wisdom is better than rubies, And all the things one may desire cannot be compared with her.

Wisdom is priceless! There is no comparison to her.

When we think we need money, success, or power, we’d better think again. None of these will get us anywhere without God’s wisdom.

With money, we need wisdom to know how to handle it. With success, we need wisdom to know how to keep it going. With power we need wisdom to know how to keep it in its rightful place; not going to our heads.

God’s word says, happy is the man who finds wisdom!

Why?

Because that man has gained something that nothing else can bring him; understanding!

When we have wisdom, we gain understanding. And the proceeds from it are better than anything this world can offer.

Rubies, silver, and fine gold can’t even come close to the rewards of having wisdom.

Proverbs 3:13-14 (NKJV) 13 Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding; 14 For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver, And her gain than fine gold.

Wisdom is the most key thing in all our getting and desiring. So, go after Godly wisdom! We will be a happy people. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-27-21

Proverbs 19:20-21 (NKJV) 20 Listen to counsel and receive instruction, That you may be wise in your latter days. 21 There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the Lord’s counsel – that will stand.

Have you ever looked back at your life and wished that you had listened to counsel or instruction given by someone who knew better than you did about something?

I know I do. And I’m sure we all do from time to time.

Wisdom comes by way of those who pass it down to us, as well as being gained through life’s experiences.

The easiest way, by far, to gain insight and understanding, is by way of those around us who have walked through things that have taught them valuable lessons, and are willing to pass it along to us.

What’s cool is that this can be from people we know personally, or it can be through the words penned in scripture, inspired by the Holy Spirit.

The wisdom to be gleaned in either of these two ways is invaluable, and it can literally change our lives if we heed and follow those words.

The book of Proverbs is rich with insights, wisdom and understanding that’s in little bite-sized pieces that are easy to digest and understand. So, we encourage you to take those beautiful nuggets and gobble them up like candy!

As we digest them, God will increase our understanding, and the path of our life will be forever altered.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-15-21

Proverbs 4:7 (NKJV) 7 Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.

We know how important it is to get God’s wisdom. It brings us understanding and the peace that we need to carry out whatever is in God’s plan for us.

It comes when we accept what He is doing. Alongside it comes rest in our natural man, AKA the flesh.

When we humbly say yes to His plan for us, when we calm down and look to Him for our next move, there we will find wisdom and understanding. His peace will follow.

How do we get this “principal thing” called wisdom?

2 Chronicles 1:10 (NKJV) 10 Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this great people of Yours?”

Solomon had to ask for it, as we will too.

He asked God, and God gave him wisdom. But because he asked for the right thing with the right heart and intentions, he got more than what he needed to carry out God’s plan in his life.

Asking for the right thing is crucial.

2 Chronicles 1:12 (NKJV) 12 wisdom and knowledge are granted to you; and I will give you riches and wealth and honor, such as none of the kings have had who were before you, nor shall any after you have the like.”

How many of us today are trying to get the work of God done without even asking Him for His wisdom? We are not just talking to pastors, priests or church-related positions, but anything that God has put in our hands to carry out or maintain.

How many of us ask God for wisdom to raise a family or keep our marriage strong?

How many ask God for wisdom to eat right or keep healthy?

Do we think God doesn’t know more than these dieticians?

How about wisdom to get through tough seasons that hit hard and want to knock the wind out of us?

Ask. And just as He gave to Solomon, He will give to us what we need for wisdom to make the right decisions, give the right counsel and help those involved.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-25-21

Proverbs 9:7-9 (NKJV) 7 “He who corrects a scoffer gets shame for himself, And he who rebukes a wicked man only harms himself. 8 Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you; Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you. 9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

Talking with certain people can sometimes be very difficult, especially with regard to sharing insights with them that may help give them understanding about certain topics.

It can be downright exasperating, to be honest with you.

This can hold true for sharing Biblical truth with people. Some people just won’t listen to anything we might try to share with them. They are scoffers (mockers).

The verses above tell us that doing this will cause us to get hurt. Sometimes that hurt might be verbal or emotional. Other times, in extreme cases, it might mean physical harm.

Look at what it tells us, though, about correcting or rebuking a wise man; he will love us.

You see, some people just plain won’t hear anything we tell them because their minds and their hearts are closed, clamped shut, with no desire whatsoever to learn, grow or know the truth.

Does that mean that we should never share the truth with people? Absolutely not!

But, when we do share, we need to use the wisdom and discernment of the Holy Spirit to know when to share and when to pull back.

He will guide us if we let Him!
