Heart of Wisdom

Psalm 90:12

So teach us to number our days,

that we may gain a heart of wisdom.  (NKJ)

     What the LORD is trying telling us through this prayer of Moses, is to use the short time He has given us to learn His infinite wisdom on life. It is true that we don’t always need God to remind us how short our lives are, because the older we get the more aware we are of its shortness. But what we do need are frequent reminders not to waste our lives in the foolishness of this fallen world. When reflecting on the brevity of time, God's wisdom tells us to live for the eternal things in life, rather than just focusing on the pleasures of this wicked world for immediate gratification. As mortal human beings, it becomes quite humbling to look into the grave that will one day be our bed, because many of us have spent a good portion of our lives living by the foolish wisdom of this fallen world and for what?  But sadly, even though living in the foolishness of this world gets us by somewhat, it unfortunately leaves us empty and wanting more of the same, alone, afraid, and feeling betrayed. 

     My dear friends, with the Lord as your Teacher, you will learn the absolute truths about life and death; truth that will bring you wise understanding and long lasting rewards. Reading and studying the wisest Book of all time, the Word of God, is the smartest decision you will ever make, because inside its cover are thousands of words that will tell you everything you need to know in order to live a wise and productive life in a deceitful world filled with many gods and falsehoods.  And unlike the wise people of this foolish world, you will find comfort and peace for your soul and lasting joy in your heart. Having reverence for the Lord and fearing His just wrath is the beginning of all wisdom.  And with this wisdom firmly grounded to your life, you will be able to follow God’s Way into glory and bring many a lost and foolish soul along with you.

                                         A Whisper of Hope

Need wisdom?…come to Me, the Author of Life.  When you need understanding, look to My Wisdom, because it was I who wrote the Book on life.  Within its pages, you will not only find peace for your soul but you will also find the right way to live a life that is worth living no matter how difficult your circumstances may be.  To know Me, is to know Wisdom that is pure and priceless.

1 Corinthians 3:18-19

Stop fooling yourselves.  If you think you are wise

by this world’s standards, you will have to become a

fool so you can become wise by God’s standards.  For

the wisdom of the world is foolishness to God.  (NLT)

                     The wise shall inherit glory, 

            but shame shall be the legacy of fools.

                                                   (Proverbs 3:35)
