Wisdom Verses Strength

Solomon was a very wise man who drew many conclusions from his life. He told a  story of the wise man who saved a city and no one remembered him.  The lesson Solomon was trying to get across is that wisdom is better than strength. Wisdom is better than jewels or precious metals. Wisdom is stronger  than any weapon.  Yet wisdom does not get treated better than strength, riches or weapons  and rarely finds honor and respect. People with wisdom seem to be outcasts or despised. Take Jesus for example his wisdom was never got him recognition. He was despised and killed for his wisdom.


 

There are many wise and poor people who make up a church and who do more than the outside world knows, yet they don't do it for praise or reward. They hear with the ear of their spirit. They depend on the wisdom of God and his strength. They are the mighty silent armies with the ultra powerful shield of God's wisdom.

Trust

We should trust God no matter what the outward appearances are. If you remember the story of Abraham then you see the contradiction he was put in. He was told to sacrifice Isaac yet all of God's promises to Abraham lay in the son Isaac. This must have been quite confusing to a man who had waited years for this son and now he was being told he must sacrifice him. It must have grieved him so yet he trusted God and knew that whatever the outcome that God knew best. He obeyed God to the end. God tests us all to prove our faith. Faith is trusting God to provide even when we cannot see how he can.  With true faith we hold nothing back from God. He provides what we need when we need it and intervenes at the right time. "Now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me" (Genesis 22:12).

God I Wonder

As I walk around the path I see flowers that have busted out and filled themselves with color and I wonder.
I see tree swaying in the wind blowing as if they are paying homage to God and I wonder.

I hear the birds and their songs reach into the heavens like a choir of angels and I wonder.
I see the clouds white and fluffy rolling across the bright blue sky and I wonder.

I hear the water rippling along over the rocks and the music they make soothes my nerves but still I wonder.
I see the crystal beauty of the water and the white bubbles that rise as they pass over the rocks and still I wonder.

The meow of cat, the bark of a dog, the smell of honey suckle, the grass between my toes, and still I wonder.
How God could love me so much he gave me all this to hear, feel,see and do I deserve it still I wonder.

Salvation

Conformormity to the will of God. Through miraculous resurrection and immortality of the soul. Salvation beyond death is a state of the most intimate union with God and with each distinct personality being preserved. Man in his own power cannot fulfill perfectly the conditions of salvation.

The primordial fall or orginal sin caused man to become perverted with pride and self-love. God's final purpose is salvation of all mankind because he is a loving and merciful God. Men that repent is offered grace.

 Without Jesus of Nazareth the mediator or giver of grace this would not be possible. God loved the world so much he incarnated into human form to suffer the pains and burdens of mankind.

What Do We Really Know About the Fallen Angels

INTERNAL SOURCES

We have grown accustomed to letting our external wants determine our internal needs. Yet if we learned anything in life it's that our internal needs should control our external wants. True happiness comes when we begin to realize that processions are useless in our happiness and only brings the need for more. We are happier when our basic needs are met. When you are hungry food is the only important thing. When your sad a new car doesn't satisfy the sadness it just delays it. Drugs and alcohol doesn't make your problems go away it just accumulates more problems. No wonder people try to commit suicide they have taken on more than they can carry and crash under the weight of it. They have let external things become more important than the internal needs. They are searching for a possession that bring peace in their life yet hidden inside of them is the only true peace and it has been hidden from them by the deception that it is somewhere external in life.
