Seek the Wisdom of God and Not Your Own

Prov 3:5-6 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart & lean not on your own understanding;in all your ways acknowledge Him, & He will make your paths straight. James 1:5 Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, & it will be given to him. Prov 2:6 For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge & understanding. James 3:17 The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, & easy to be intreated, full of mercy & good fruits, without partiality, & without hypocrisy. — Gods Wisdom is available to us, when we ask & when we repent, He pours out His wisdom upon us! He has given us His word, which is filled with His wisdom! When we learn to meditate on His word, we in fact find that which surpasses all understanding. — 1Cor 2:9-10 But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”, these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. Love Mel

Momentary Affliction Prepares Us For Eternal Glory

2Cor4:16-18 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. — God tells us not to lose heart, “no matter what”! Because “no matter what” is preparing us for our heavenly rewards! What does a glimpse of eternity look like? First just looking at the meaning of eternity, “infinite or unending time”. Kinda like infinity in math! So forever, we have an amazing future, if we will learn to —2 Cor 5:7 We walk by faith, not by sight. — That is when we learn to seek first the kingdom of God & His will, we can do all things thru Christ that strengthens us! It is here where our heart is strengthened & we find our way thru this world to eternity! We must focus our heart on our creator, here we will achieve more for eternity than we ever could achieve in this world. Love Mel
