Wisdom: Are We On The RIGHT Track?


People today are fearful of many things, there is a fear of the elements in space.
There's fear that astroids will collide with earth, thus bringing an end to earth.
There's fear of tornadoes, fear of earthquakes, fear of hurricanes, of floods,
of plagues, even of each other. There is a generalized fear of dying in most people.
Some may say with all these that have been mentioned here, there is reason to fear.
Others may say, what's the use in fearing, because you cannot control the elements,
what's to be is what's to be.

The preplexing reasoning in all of this fear is that much of this kind of fear, comes
not just from unbelievers of God, but of Believers.
Many Believers share in the 'Fears' of the world.
Upon further analysis, we find that there are two major kinds of wisdom working here.

There is the 'wisdom of the world, with their thoughts, facts, analysis, and presuppositions...then
There is the 'Wisdom' that comes from God.

The world's wisdom, very well may be air tight and fact based, depending on
the object of proof. Within it's realm or domain, it's element of truth holds to a limited realm. Reasoning being that there's always more to explore, more to learn, more to materialize as theory. before potentially becoming a fact and it's actualization.
The amazing thing about this is, at any given time factualization will still hold a limitation to it's realm of factualization. It only relinquishes or give up it's position when new proof suddenly propels it into another category. This spectrum of thought seems to be true across all categories.

So, what do we say about the Wisdom of God?

First, the Wisdom of God is limitless, it is Eternal as God is Eternal.
The Wisdom of God is without end. God Himself is the Creator of All Things.
He alone created Wisdom. Proverbs 8:22,23 speaks of wisdom in this context.

Proverbs 8:22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
Proverbs 8:23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

In Proverbs 9:10 and Psalms 111:10 we see the wisdom of the Lord

Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy [is] understanding.

Psalms 111:10 The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do [his commandments]: his praise endureth for ever.

What do we see so clearly in these two scriptures?
1. Fear of the Lord
2. The beginning of wisdom
3. knowledge of the holy is understanding.
4. a good understanding have all they that do His commandments
5. His praise endureth forever

All of the five here, brings about just the 'BEGINNING' of wisdom.

I ask the question, do Christians have to return to their first love?
There use to be a Godly Fear in Christians. Today, you rarely hear the words,
"I Fear God". less and less do we see actions that even express "fear of God".

Why do I say this? I say this because as an Evangelist, there are many people
repenting for 'wrong' actions(which are good, don't get be wrong here)
but, there is less and less of a mindset of "I Fear God, I Will Not Commit This Sin".
Fear of God, seemly is put on the 'back burner' with the FIRE out!
So then, where lies the wisdom within?

Again, the Word Of God Says:

Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy [is] understanding.

Psalms 111:10 The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do [his commandments]: his praise endureth for ever.

For those who are Seeking Wisdom, Knowledge and Understand of the Lord,
let's begin with the Fear Of The Lord!

Wisdom Cries

Proverbs 8 KJV

1Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?

2She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.

3She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.

4Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.

5O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

6Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.

7For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

8All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.

9They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.

10Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.

11For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

12I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.

13The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

14Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.

15By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.

16By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.

17I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

18Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.

19My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.

20I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:

21That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.

22The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

23I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

24When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.

25Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:

26While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.

27When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:

28When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

29When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:

30Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

31Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.

32Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.

33Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

34Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.

35For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.

36But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

Seeking Wisdom

Praying Pictures, Images and Photos
It only takes a good man (real one) to admit he is really stand up for the Lord and praying. Some people who claim to be walking in Christ , will still deny. But we are praying as we hope they will learn how to get devil soul out and show off the Lord as their Savior

James1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

6But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

7For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

8A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
