God has removed the scales from our eyes so that we can see the world around us with spiritual clarity.  One area in which this is crucial is that of life's trials.  Let us ask for wisdom and strength that we would see those storms for what they are and address them confidently in the power and authority we have in the Spirit.

We cannot know life until we know both sides of it, the good and the bad, the light and the dark.  The trying side of life sometimes can seem like all there is, but our faith tells us otherwise.  There will be bright times as well as dark times, and we should remain hopeful that there is value in both.

In our search for truth and wisdom, we must be careful to find these in God and his word first.  It is too easy to get caught up in Christian culture trends, in the new greatest message or messenger.  They might be good learning tools, but they are not our source.  Do not let yourself be led astray for lack of true knowledge and wisdom gained directly from the Lord through his Spirit.

Let us learn a lesson from Judah.  There will come a day when repentance no longer is available.  Our Lord will come like a thief in the night, so we must be ready today.  Make today the day you change.

The only question is whether we live as if we believe what we say when we say that He is our all in all.

Let us revisit a message from very early on in this program to remind us of the cost of our redemption.

Some of us wait too long for the Lord to gives us clear confirmation after clear confirmation before taking that step.  Faith just might require us to move much sooner than that.  Let us pray for a change in us, that we would create opportunities to serve and honor God instead of waiting for them to come our way.

Seeking God's wisdom is nothing more than seeking His will.  The wise choice is the one that line's up with God's desire.  Then, once we gladly choose what He would choose, we give him the glory no matter the outcome because we know that it is His will.

As we go through life, we will be struck from all sides, even from within.  Cracks will appear, and we cannot afford to ignore them or put off addressing them.  We must repair them before they spread and cause us to shatter.

We cannot afford to build temporary riches while neglecting true riches.  One can have a dozen zeros to that bank balance and still be bankrupt.  The difference is between the fortune we cannot take with us and the one awaiting us in eternity.
