Here we find a reference to a young woman that wakes in the night and finds her lover gone. She got up in the night (meaning heaviness in the heart and soul), because her lover was gone. She inquired of the city’s watchmen to no avail. However, she did not stop searching for him until she found him. And when she did, he came displaying his glory. The wisdom here is for us today to seek the Lord, when our hearts get heavy and burdened, until he responds to our cry, with deliverance from whatever that has befallen us. Seek the Lord, while he may be found. Seek the Lord for your personal Pentecostal experience.

In this passage of the scriptures we are encouraged to live our best lives, live our lives loving one another and without hate; live in obedience to the word of God, demonstrating the light of the knowledge of the Gospel of Jesus Christ while we have opportunity. For everyone of us there is an end coming and only God knows when.

Here we learn that through simplicity, and meekness, and walking in obedience, to the word of God, He will demonstrate his favor with us. We should teach this wisdom to the next generation.

Pride results from overvaluing ourselves and undervaluing others. It leads to restlessness because it makes us dissatisfied with what we have and concerned about what everyone else is doing. It keeps us always hungering for more attention and acclaim. By contrast, humility gets us to put others first and allows us to be content with God’s leading in our lives. Such contentment gives us security so that we no longer have to prove ourselves to others. Let your perspectives come from humility and trust, which give you the ability and freedom to serve God and others.

Here we should learn, as did Job, no matter what befalls we should not allow it to change or shake our faith in God. Even though sometimes people will turn away from you, please learn from this don’t let your confidence in God waver; because we have hope of eternity with God, in glory. Sometimes the negativity we are confronted with and the ways we are treated by others is the divine requirements for their salvation as well as for ourselves. Don’t let your faith fail you.

This is a chapter in a Bible story that depicts practicing the wisdom of God and taking courage to take a righteous stand your enemy will become victims of the plots they devised to do you harm. Don’t let your faith fail you and God will manifest His presence on your behalf.

From this passage of scripture, we should learn the wisdom of following through with God’s instructions. We should learn that when we do what God charges us to do, he will show us favor from himself, and from man. And in the final analysis, those that try to hold us down will have to look at us prosper, and they will have nothing to do with it and won’t benefit from it.

Today, as it was then we should ourselves, all of humanity that is, but especially those of the household of faith be thankful to God for raising up people out of the midst of us that cry to him with a repentant cry. Still today, of all the greatness that God provides for His people there is still great disobedience and rebellion. Nevertheless, God continues to love us and does not reward us with what our rebellion warrants. Thank you God for your love, that you continue to put in the hearts of those that cry to you for the whole of humanity, but especially those of the household of faith.

Here we should learn that when we the people of God seek Him in sincerity and in truth He gets joy. When He gets joy He will grant unto us the petitions that we require of Him. God rewards righteousness and reverence and obedience to Him. However, when we go away from following His instructions He will recompense us with His vengeance.

Here we should learn that when God enables us to recognize that He is making a change, and He is making choices in our life, we should not become bitter, but become aggressive in promoting God‘s plan. David went above and beyond in giving to build the house of the Lord, and he blessed the Lord for allowing his son to succeed him as king. Let us take this wisdom as we move forward to agree with God and let him have his way and we will be blessed in the process.
