Proverbs 16:33, 19:21, 21:1 and 21:30.

The universe is busy. The world is busy. Life is busy. Everything is always moving. Sometimes it seems like a machine, smoothly running. More often than not, it seems like the parts are colliding and going off course. There are so many moments where it feels like the conductor has left his station and nothing is where it's supposed to be. That's what a fallen world feels like. Out of control. Out of place.
However, Scripture tells us throughout, that God remains in control. He is the sovereign. He not only ordains every moment, He also sustains these moments and carries everything along to its intended purpose. This is wisdom. To know this and to live and rest under the shade of this truth.

Soli Deo Gloria!

-Romans 5:8-

We've been in God's Book of Divine Wisdom for some time. It has been such a blessing and a transformative experience for so many of us. Today, my heart's desire is to focus our minds on the glory and beauty of the Good News of God.
A love of God's Wisdom can only come from a heart that has been changed and a relationship of peace with God. That can only come in one way: the Gospel. May God never let our hearts stray from a passion for the Good News. The Good News that God loves sinners like us.
The Good News that He has reconciled us to Himself. The Good News of Eternal Life. The Good News that we now have peace. Eternal peace with the God Who is Love.

Sola Deo Gloria!

We are continuing our study of the Book of Proverbs. Today, we see God's Wisdom that is testifying to what we see in the whole of Scripture: the goodness and blessing of God's Law.
We live in a time with so many turning their eyes away from the goodness of God's Law.
Unfortunately, both unbelievers as well as professing believers. Here in God's Wisdom, we see that God calls us to view His instructions in His Law in a different way. A way that leads to light and blessing. May God renew our minds and make us wise like our savior.

-Proverbs 26:4-5-

As we continue our study and meditation upon God's Wisdom From Above" we are now in The Lord's instruction on how to converse with the fool. It really is a gift to have God's instruction manual on how to answer someone who has abandoned God's ways in how they think and speak.
Today; we will listen to the Lord's Word on just how it's done and provide a number of examples of how to be wise in our conversation with fools. The world is filled with a lot of them so this should be good!
In the end, this is light and instruction on how to reason like the lord Jesus and to think and speak like Him.

Proverbs 24:23-26

Today, we continue our study in the Book of Proverbs and are learning about God's call to speak the truth about the evil around us. We are called to abandon the commitment we have to our favorite faces (partiality) and to tell the truth about the evil or sin that we are presented with There are consequences for blurring the lines of what is actually true. Good ones and
bad ones
May God create in us a humble boldness and we shine the light of His Truth into the world around us.
