Bible Verse of The Day – 2-3-20

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?”

King Solomon had big shoes to fill when his father, King David, passed away.

David loved God, and the people of Israel loved their king. How could Solomon step in and do justice to the throne that he had inherited?

Solomon, in his quest to do what was right, offered a thousand burnt offerings to God. And then he waited. And God appeared to him.

God asked Solomon what he wanted.

2 Chronicles 1:7 (NKJV) 7 On that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, “Ask! What shall I give you?”

Solomon replied with the words above, in verse 10; “give me wisdom and knowledge”.

Solomon could have asked for anything. He could have asked for fame, wealth, a long life and an abundance of other things that come to mind. But he didn’t.

His desire was to rule Israel with the right heart, and judge the great nation of Israel as God would want him to.

This is something that each and every one of us should consider.

How much of our time do we spend seeking things for ourselves, or asking God for things that are self-centered?

How many times do we pray as Solomon prayed, asking God to give us wisdom and knowledge, so we can bring honor and glory to God as we walk the earth?

We may not be kings over nations. But we are representatives of Christ here on earth, bringing His light everywhere we go.

Let’s ask God to give us a heart that longs to put Him first in everything that we do, no matter what our position in life might be.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-24-18

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

Don’t be fearful about the decision you need to make. Don’t be hard on yourself today. God will give us the understanding and wisdom we need to make the right decision.

We can be our own worst critics at times. Knowing this, we have to save ourselves from our own judgment, critical comments and the thoughts we have against ourselves.

We don’t need an enemy because sometimes we can be our own worst one.

It’s time to stop beating ourselves up and let God show us how to balance it out. We need to know who we are in Christ.

Yes, we can make mistakes. And there is no doubt that we do. But God knows what to do to help us fix them and to help us learn from them.

We are not bad people just because we make some poor choices occasionally. It’s all part of learning what to do and not to do.

Are we going to stay down and out today? Or are we going to get up and try to get it right with God’s understanding, strength and wisdom?

We stand in prayer with you all today, and we know you can do this. Amen.

Exodus 31:3 (NKJV) 3 And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship…

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-9-18

Ecclesiastes 10:10 (NKJV) 10 If the ax is dull, And one does not sharpen the edge, Then he must use more strength; But wisdom brings success.

Are we looking to be successful? Do we want to get ahead in this life? Do we want to know how to handle ourselves in every situation that comes our way?

God’s wisdom will help us develop our character, and help to carry us through both, good times and hard times.

How do we obtain such character? How do we obtain such integrity and walk in this kind of wisdom? We learn God’s heart. And we do this through reading His word. We do this through walking out that word. We do this through praying for answers and waiting patiently until we receive them from Him.

We need to be sharp in this day and age. We need to be full of wisdom to take the right steps and succeed in all areas of our lives.

Dig into God’s word and succeed, overcoming the challenges we face. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-9-17

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. 

Wisdom. It’s something that God considers very important. It is talked about from the beginning of His word to the end of it. 

In fact, if you search the Bible, Wisdom is mentioned no less than 230 times. So, let’s say that it’s very safe to assume that God wants us to have wisdom. 

Now, wisdom is something that many people think of only when it comes to growing older. Life’s experiences can teach us a lot. And as we walk through the things that get thrown at us, we can accumulate wisdom and understanding in a lot of areas. 

And while this is a great way to learn and accumulate wisdom, there is a better way. Ask God for it! 

God has told us that if we lack wisdom, we should ask Him for it, and He will give it liberally, without reproach. He will give it to all who ask Him. 

What are the benefits of having wisdom? Well, let’s just say that they are many! 

Too many, in fact, to list here. So, let’s talk more about wisdom tomorrow. 

Remember, if any of us lacks wisdom, we just need to ask God, who gives it liberally to all who ask. 

Until tomorrow, be blessed in Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-10-16

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

A large part of the book of Proverbs is dedicated to teaching us the importance of wisdom.

In fact, “wisdom” is used at least 46 times in that one book!

Wisdom is also mentioned in many other places throughout God’s word. It’s safe to say that God wants us to be wise.

In the New Testament, James addressed the issue of getting wisdom. This is the perfect piece of instruction for those of us who wish to become wiser!

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.

So as you begin your week, remember this. Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom.
