IBS 5 Psalms 111:10


Psa 111:10  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!

 

I love how in verse one it says "all those who practice it have a good understanding." When I think of someone with great wisdom I think of someone who always knows exactly what to say at the right moments. And yes this is an example of wisdom but it should not be what I first think of when I hear the word wisdom. I should think of someone with good conduct. Know what to DO at the right moments rather than what to say." When I think of someone with great wisdom I think of someone who always knows exactly what to say at the right moments. And yes this is an example of wisdom but it should not be what I first think of when I hear the word wisdom. I should think of someone with good conduct. Know what to DO at the right moments rather than what to say.

                Practicing wisdom is the most important part of being blessed with wisdom from God. When we ask for wisdom from God we need to expect God to use his wisdom he gives us through action rather than good advice. That’s the true way to express the wisdom we have. What good is head knowledge if we never use it in real life application.

Mar 16:19   So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. Mar 16:20   And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.                     Today I was focusing on the resurrection of Christ. And the importance of it. Neil was speaking on it and it really hit me something. If the resurrection isn't portrayed than an all powerful God isn't portrayed. God said he will bruise the heel of the serpent (I believe is referencing satan) and that comes in the form of the resurrection. It's the , "even if you kill me I'll still come back. There is NOTHING you can do to beat me. And on top of everything I will use the people I died for to do my work as I command them." It's the biggest spiritual slap to face in the history of ever. Jesus gave satan...

Heb 3:12   Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. Heb 3:12     Tengan cuidado, hermanos, no sea que en alguno de ustedes haya un corazo'n malo de incredulidad, para apartarse del Dios vivo.                   There's something that Jeremy said that comes to mind. If sin is ten feet away, you still wouldn't be sinning if you walked up 9 feet. You still have room. But only one foot. And the closer you get to sin the more intense the temptation becomes and more excuses come up. You could say, "it's just one more foot." And at that point a gust of wind could blow you over into sin. Rather run away from the ten foot line and make in 20, then 30, then 40 and so on. If we still have evil in our hearts of disbelief than it's like tiptoeing on the line of sin. Just barely not into sin. But at that point if a fly lan...

1Pe 4:7   But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.   1 Pedro 4:7    Ya se acerca el fin de todas las cosas. Asi' que, para orar bien, mante'nganse sobrios y con la mente despejada.                   This could be my last 5 seconds. But those 5 seconds just passed but the message I take from this is that I should never expect to live on for a long time. Live each day like it's my last. That doesn't mean be irresponsible but be zealous and have a fire that yearns for people to come to Christ right now. No body is guaranteed any time on this earth.   Lives are being lost not having been shown the love of Christ and no one has any promises of living to see the next day and does that hit my heart? I struggle to think that the sun has no guarantee to rise in the morning because I've seen it happen over and over again. I have n...
