Wisdom

Tonight at Worship team practice, the topic of Wisdom came up briefly. So I thought I would share in a blog about what God taught me a few weeks ago.

I was spending some time alone with God a few weeks ago at the Friday youth night. He was speaking to me about Wisdom and gave me a bunch of scripture.

Proverbs 4 (The whole chapter, its too long to put in here)

The key verses from this chapter are:
Verse 1-2: "Listen, my sons, to a father's instruction; pay attention and gain understanding. I give you sound learning, so do not forsake my teaching. "
Verse 7: "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. "
Verses 11-27: I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble. Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life. Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evil men. Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way. For they cannot sleep till they do evil; they are robbed of slumber till they make someone fall. They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence. The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. But the way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble. My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to a man's whole body.
Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm. Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil."


Wisdom is: Not walking in the way of the wicked (14), Keeping God's commandments (4), Not speaking bad or corrupt things (24), Walking on the firm path that God has set before us (26-27)

Proverbs 9:10 --> "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding."

That was just what God told me, so i thought I would share the wisdom with you all.. he he get it??

God Bless you all
