The fool's journey of self-discovery

Are people impressed with Jesus when they watch how we live?

The queen of Sheba was impressed with King Solomon because of what she saw from his servants. Are people impressed with our king, King Jesus, by how we, His servants, live our lives?1 Kings 10:4-5And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built,5 And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.8 Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom.

The fool's journey of self-discovery

Self discovery is the delight of fools. The world is very good at describing and labeling the personal problems we face, but it give no real solutions. Instead of self discovery, we need to diligently search out God's wisdom from God's Word that gives real solutions for the problems we face.Proverbs 18:2A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.

Don't despise God's Word

Don't be guilty of despising God's Word. The word "despise" doesn't necessarily mean hate, it means failing to give proper attention. We are all guilty from time time of not giving God's Word the proper attention in our lives Proverbs 13:13Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.

Blessing...without the side effects!

How do you experience blessing in your life? You could choose the path of sin, but that always come with painful side effects and consequences OR you could pursue the blessing of God with "no sorrow" added unto it. Proverbs 10:22The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

Watching and waiting for wisdom

There is a promised blessing for those that listen to wisdom with the attitude of eagerness and expectancy...those that are watching daily at wisdom's gates and waiting at wisdom's doors. This is how we should approach the true source of wisdom... God's Word, the Bible.Proverbs 8:34Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
