RefinedOne Angie: Wisdom Of God's Word

Every season holds it's own beauty; be it a cold foggy winter morning or the blistering heat of a summers day. The bright kaleidoscopic colours and fragrance of springtime, or the breezy amber hues of autumn, each glorious, and all beautiful in its season.... Just as we are at every stage in our journey.

So, savour each moment's fragrance in all its metamorphic glory, It's all good!

Enjoy every moment of your life; and in the rough ones, be mindful to fix your gaze on the good, the pure, the things that are worthy of praise(no matter how insignificant it may appear).

It's not a cliche, but truthfully... "Where there is life, there is Hope." Let wisdom be your guide...

Proverbs 24:14 Know that wisdom is such to your soul; if you find it, there will be a future, and your hope will not be cut off. Selah.

The righteous will flourish like the date palm [long-lived, upright and useful];

They will grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic and stable].

Planted in the house of the Lord,

They will flourish in the courts of our God.

[Growing in grace] they will still thrive and bear fruit and prosper in old age;

They will flourish and be vital and fresh [rich in trust and love and contentment];

- Psalm 92:12-14

The presence of God is everywhere... God's omnipresence it is called, and where His presence is not ... is literally hell (not like, But is).

.

At the presence of God, there is life, liberty, love & power. Once you have encountered it, you would never want to live without it .... Why ? (...because its hell).

.

The presence of God charges and changes you. It's intimate and warm, reassuring and embolden... affirming and instructive, all at the same time.

.

The presence of God fills the heavens and all the earth.. it's mighty and weighty, yet comforting. Immeasurable in its value, intangible in all expressions....delivering moments of transcendence.

.

The presence of God, is also known as the Spirit of God and He resided in everyone that is submitted to God(Yahweh), through the acceptance of Jesus(Yeshua) as Lord and Saviour.

Ask Him into your heart and life today🔥🕊🤍

Selah (Meditate on that).

Psalm 16:11 

You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.

Romans 12:16 (Amplified Bible) Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty [conceited, self-important, exclusive], but associate with humble people [those with a realistic self-view]. Do not overestimate yourself. "Pride is a high or inordinate opinion of one’s own dignity, importance, merit, or superiority, whether as cherished in the mind or as displayed in conduct. Whether craving compliments, fearing our own image or entertaining an overly critical view of ourselves, pride can be both glaringly obvious and deceptively sneaky." - John Piper

When we feed our thoughts a good and healthy diet, it's expressed in our actions and behaviour on how we manage situations or people, A peaceful life is ours to make. "And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things" Philippians 4:7-8

Free will is exactly that... Your choice to make. Jesus said, “I didn’t make this up. What I teach comes from the One who sent me. Anyone who wants to do his will can test this teaching and know whether it’s from God or whether I’m making it up

Success means a lot of things to different people and communities. This difference determines the bases with which we rate it.

I say success is to never give up. Success is hard work – no short cuts.

It’s the courage to fail and start again. It’s not an end, but the ‘dash’ from the beginning through to the end of any endeavour till we achieve... It’s touching a soul, connecting to another and letting them know – I see you; you're not invisible and you truly matter.

Success is courage to confidently go against the flow. To speak what others see and dare not say or have lost the ability to see, as such, blinded by norm accept. To be unshielded on a blank canvas or empty pages for all to see

After you have done all you know to do; stand and believe.

In the past I mistook intelligence for wisdom. Intelligence without wisdom is folly, but, wisdom with intelligence births pure excellence.

Now that is success. “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding” – Proverbs 4:7

Get the posture(position) of your heart aligned towards God.

We can read all the motivational books, memorize scripture verses, listen to all the 'great' messages, follow all the trending new diet plans...etc! But nothing is going to change or get better if we don't commit and consistently DO it!

[Boy! are there going to be days you just want to give up😫.. Or think "I am out of my depth here". Oh Yes!, but just keep pressing forward].

We win in the 'doing'.

Commitment• Consistency• Application• #noshortcuts #justdoit [at your OWN pace, not in competition with any other], only then will we attain #victory.
