Wisdom cries out, "Here is what I look like!" She defines herself with several indisputable characteristics in this Proverb. God is not hiding His wisdom from us and encourages us to ask for it (James 1:5). Are you on a pursuit for God's wisdom?
Solomon stated in Proverbs 4:7 that "wisdom is the principal thing" and acquiring it is a life long occupation for the child of God. But often we go about that in a very different manner than is prescribed in God's Word. In today's text we learn from several paradoxes just how wisdom is manifested in our lives.
Psalm 24 masterfully describes our King, the King of glory, who ministered in Galilee, prayed in Gethsemane, was tried at Gabbatha, suffered on Golgotha, claimed victory over the grave and is seated in glory! One day He will return as rightful ruler over all of creation and of our lives.
It is amazing to follow through the scriptures the theme of the water and the blood that God used to display His glory and show the world that He was God! Of our Savior, the Apostle John said, "This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ . . . "
Christianity is not a dead faith. We are given new life in Christ and given the Holy Spirit to energize, teach, guide, and lead us into a fruit-filled existence. Here's a story about a couple of people who had an encounter with the risen Christ, and how it changed them!
Sometimes in life we become our own god, seeking to rule our lives from the earthly and physical side instead of submitting to the God who created us. What happens when we reverse roles with God?
In today's society and even in the life of the church, many people go from one thing to the other to try and escape to a different life. Solomon tried it all and realized that man should live with a spiritual mind, prioritizing that which will last for eternity. There is a way to "live better."
Even the greatest servants of God doubted Him occasionally. In this text we find John the Baptist doubting when sitting in a prison for doing right. Thankfully we learn some reassurances and reminders from our Lord to help us when we doubt.
