Wisdom

THE ROAD TO SUCCESS IS
ALWAYS UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Where
would we be today, without the Word of God?
Folks: Do you even realize just how vital the word
is to your life? We all want to be full
of wisdom, and many of us think we are. You know the old saying, "Wise as
serpents and Harmless as doves".
But, Just How Wise Are We?
A
young man is really going through some tough valleys right now. He is highly educated, multi talented, and
has a wonderful family. He lost both his parents who spent many years in the
ministry, so, God asked me to adopt him as my son. I have two other sons, adopted, and extremely
different from any of the rest, and that's ok, because God is working on
them. He works on me too, especially
when I lack wisdom. The lack of wisdom
causes us to move ahead of where we should be, and we begin to live an
impulsive life. We think that our moves,
our decisions etc, are the Will of God, and when nothing falls into place, and
we fall flat on our face, We think God
has deserted us, when in reality, we got in a hurry, knowing we were supposed
to wait on God.
Folks: We do it all the time. We think we know the mind of God so well,
that we can't see any wisdom in waiting for Him to lead. After all, God gave us
Free Will, and of course, it's only
natural that we should know all about what His will is.
Should
we ask for Wisdom? We all should say, "Yes" - but our
attitude often is often, "I already
know. He told me". The mistake of our life is, that what we
think is Him telling us something - is not Him at all. It's our own ego speaking, and our own desire
to always be on the move; when in a nutshell, we should have waited
a little longer. Past experience reminds me that Waiting on the Lord and His
Spirit, no matter how long I have to wait, is the best thing I can do.
Do
you know His will? Do you
have His wisdom? Right
now, in the quiet of the moment, “ASK
FOR HIS WISDOM” and “WAIT
FOR HIS DIRECTION”. You'll never
be sorry!!
Lastly,
don't let others tell you what His wisdom is for you. They may not even know His Wisdom for
themselves.
God
Bless You richly. I love you.
