Good Morning! TEX: Proverbs Day 8: Prov 8:1 Does not wisdom call out? Does not understanding raise her voice? If you read Prov 8 today, it is as if Wisdom is talking to us. It tells us, Vs 5. You who are simple, gain prudence; you who are foolish, gain understanding. For many years of my life I lived foolishly, the only thing I understood was How to be Smart enough to get everything Danny Boy wanted. Be it Alcohol, Drugs, Money, Women, whatever! That was the extent of my Wisdom, I Want, I Want, so lets figure out how I can have it. To me that was being smart. Now if you read Prov 8 real well, you will see that it is pointing to Wisdom, but it is pointing out what and who Wisdom really is. Vs 22-23 The Lord brought me forth as the first of his works, before his deeds of old. I was appointed from eternity, from the beginning, before the world began. Now I only know one thing that was with God in the beginning and that was the Word (John 1:1) But here it is telling us that Wisdom was with God in the beginning. So I am going to take that, to have Wisdom, you must be in the Word. Well if there is one thing I have learned about the word, Is the whole thing, The Bible points to one thing, one person, one belief! And that is Jesus Christ! Vs 33 Listen to my instruction and be wise; do not ignore it. Back in those days of Me Me Me, I chose to ignore the Bible and all its teachings and I wasn't to Smart. My life was a mess and in striving to have More, I always had Less. Because I was not wise, and I Didn't have Wisdom. Vs 18 With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity. I guess today I have gained a little wisdom, for one thing I do know today, is its not What you have that makes the difference, its who you have. Listen to Vs 35 For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the Lord. So today I am sharing with you that Wisdom and Jesus Christ are one in the same. Once you invite Jesus into your heart, you are on your way to having more Wisdom. It tells us in 1Corinth 1:30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, WHO HAS BECOME FOR US WISDOM FROM GOD-that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. So there it is, to find Jesus is to have Wisdom! And in this Book is our instruction for life. To fear the Lord is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech. It is only through Jesus we can learn to fear the Lord and through His Wisdom we learn that, wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her. (Vs 11) So today do you know the true source of Wisdom? It is not on the Computer, it is not in Self Help Books, It is not in Books telling you how to have Your Best Life Now! True Wisdom can only be found in a Relationship with Jesus Christ and His Word. Cause let me tell you I used to be stupid! And I still am kind of stupid, but one thing I know and that is Wisdom and His name is Jesus Christ! HABD!
