Wise Wisdom

Proverbs 1:7

Fear of the LORD is beginning 

               of knowledge.

     Only fools despise wisdom 

     and discipline.  (NLT)

     The Book of Proverbs is a collection of wisdom from our LORD God to help people develop the skills they would needed for godly living.  It is a book of comparisons between common, yet solid images of life’s most profound truths, and God’s unchangeable Truth.  Most people, especially those who have lived long lives upon the earth, know that having wise knowledge certainly helps us extend our lives and quality of living.  All of us can make statements about life and truth based on what we have learned and personal experiences, but only those who live in the Truth of God’s Word have the ultimate knowledge—knowledge that fills their hearts with the peace and joy because they know what the future holds for God's children.  This wisdom saves us from a lifestyle of sin that, if not corrected, eventually leads to hell.  Christians worldwide know how terrible and hopeless this world would be without the first coming of our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.  Christians also know how hopeless and lost they were before Jesus rescued them from the darkness. 

     Christians learn the Truth by reading the Bible with the Holy Spirit giving them understanding.  And what incredible, never before realized insight and joy we receive from God’s Word—Truth that sets us free from following the lies of this wicked world.  But sadly, most people will study and follow the ways of this wicked world, only to receive more of the same old hopeless lies that brings them even more doubt and anxiety, which causes even more frustration and hopelessness and defeat.   The Son of God shines brightly in this dark and evil world, touching hearts and bringing hope to those who are deceived and lost, and hopeless and afraid.  The hope we have in Jesus is the deepest, most profound hope that that the world has ever seen, for it has the power to transform any life and bless them with peace and joy that will ease their pain and comfort their souls until He comes to take them Home.

Live in Me, My child...for only then will you find truth and life.  Without Me leads to heartbreak, disappointment, and finally death, forever separated from Me and never again seeing the light.

Job 28:28

And this is what He says to all humanity: The fear of the Lord

is true wisdom; to forsake evil is real understanding.  (NLT)

               “I am the Light of the world.”
