Bible Verse of The Day – 7-31-13

Proverbs 4:7 (NKJV) Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.

Wisdom and understanding.

These two things go hand in hand and, apparently, God deems them as being very important for us to have!

The verse above is one of my favorite in the book of Proverbs because it’s just so straight forward and direct.

God tells us to get wisdom. Why? Because if we have wisdom, we will also have understanding.

God’s wisdom isn’t necessarily the same as human logic, so we shouldn’t confuse the two. God’s wisdom comes from drawing near to Him, growing our relationship with Him and spending time in His word.

God’s wisdom might say right when human intellect says left, and sometimes our minds have a hard time grasping this.

But once we get God’s wisdom, we’ll never see things the same again.

Therefore, get wisdom!

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-10-13

(Isaiah 48:17 NKJV)  Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I am the LORD your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go.

Do we feel like we are always struggling to make ends meet?

It can seem like we come up short every month and have to dip over into our savings or next month’s pay, causing us to be short that month, etc. Well, this way of living is clearly not profiting. This is a sign that we need to see and confess to God that we need help!

God’s Words are truth to our being and when we hear them we need to apply them in order for them to work in our lives. I heard this verse loud and clear. God wants to teach us and help us to profit.

God does not want us to just make ends meet. He wants us to go beyond that, but it will take one very important step; letting Him TEACH us.

What does it mean when someone teaches us? First off we have to realize that need to be taught in whatever area it is that we come up short. We need to submit ourselves and all that we knew how to do, and sit and listen to His ways of doing things.

The problem many of us have is that God will spend time teaching us how to make things right, and then once we are out of the problem we go back to our old ways. This is what causes us to get back into the place we once got out of and the cycle keeps going on and on.

When God teaches us to get out of something… financial debt problems, bad relationships, drug problems, etc., we can’t think that we can just pick things up where we left off after we have gotten out of it, fall back into the same bad habits, and then leave Him behind.

After He gets us out, He wants to teach us how to profit and go beyond what we could ever imagine. He wants to take us to different levels. This way, when He is done with us we will never want to go back to the way we were.
