Proverbs 3:7 “Be not wise in
thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.” (KJV)
WISE
Washed -- Romans 12:2 “And be not conformed to this
world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect,
will of God. (KJV)
Inspired -- 2 Peter 1:21 “For the prophecy came not in
old time by the will of man: but holy men of God
spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (KJV)
Sensitive -- Proverbs 16:21 “The wise in heart shall be
called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth
learning.” (KJV)
Engaging -- 1 Corinthians 2:4 “And my speech and my preaching
was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in
demonstration of the Spirit and of power:” (KJV)
Everyone has an opinion! Anyone will
freely offer unsolicited advice! Someone thinks he understands; but, No One is
asking God for His wisdom.
As the Christmas season has now
begun, and actually has been in full swing since Halloween, we effectively
skipped Thanksgiving! Our celebration of that holiday has morphed into an
exercise in gluttony. I am struck with
the thought, “We as a society have replaced appreciation and thankfulness with
greed and self-importance.” This world is lacking God’s Wisdom and we have
become puffed up with knowledge instead on being built up in love.
According to the Psalmist, “The fear
of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom…”, so the invitation is graciously
extended. Today join me on the journey to become wise. We can be renewed by the
washing of God’s word through our minds. We will be inspired as His Spirit
moves among us in a fresh outpouring of Pentecostal Power. Sensitivity to the
needs of others develops as we respond to the leading of the Holy Spirit, our
ministry one to another is engaging as the manifestations of the power of God
are demonstrated by His LOVE at work in us.
Be
WISE!
