“Good Living”

 James 3:13

If you are wise and understand God’s ways, live a life

of steady goodness so that only good deeds pour forth. 

And if you don't brag about the good you do, then you

will be truly wise.  (NLT)

     True and absolute wisdom comes from One Source  only, the LORD, our God, Creator, and Savior.  He created all things, and is our Source for everything.  If you want true wisdom, all you have to do is go to the Source.  If you want to know the best way to live, go to the One who created life.  No question is too difficult for God, or a mystery too mysterious.  God always has the correct answer that is perfect, and it comes at just the right moment in time for those who humbly asks and expect an answer. The Lord has sent many prophets over the ages to give us His Wisdom. He also personally came into our world to help us understand His Wisdom—Wisdom that brings life, rather than death—Wisdom that changes lives from hopelessness and doubt to lives filled with hope and truth—Wisdom that tells us how to live this life with peace and confidence.

     Mans flawed wisdom comes from the Devil and our sinful nature.  It is pride that tells a man that he knows better how to live than God does. We can see the evidence of this flawed wisdom of man by the state our world is in because of man's denial of God's Way.  We cannot rely on man-made wisdom because it is not only conjecture and in flux, but its source is flawed and does not come from the Creator, but from that which He created.  Man's wisdom is made up, unreliable, and self-serving.  Man's wisdom scrambles about like a disturbed nest of ants, frantically running about in all directions hoping for the best results. God's wisdom, on the other hand, is first hand, purpose driven and leads to good living. God's wisdom brings peace amidst the chaos. God's wisdom is your only chance for a good life now, and a perfect one later.  And you can trust that it never changes and will get you Home!

                                         A Whisper of Hope

My Wisdom is best, dear child...I share it to bring goodness and truth into this fallen world that is filled with evil and vile lies.  I came to give you a hope and a future in My goodness, so you could, in return, share it with those who are without God and know no goodness.

Psalm 33:4-5

For the Word of the LORD is right, and all His work

is done in truth.  He loves righteousness and justice,

the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.  (NKJ)

                     Trust in the LORD always, 

     for the LORD GOD is the eternal Rock.

                                   (Isaiah 26:4)
