The Proverb Challenge: Day 19

The Proverb Challenge
Day 19

He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
Proverbs 19:8 KJV

Wisdom is a principal thing, therefore get it. Why? He that get Wisdom loves his own soul. 

The popular cry for self-love and self-esteem is a lie of humanistic psychology, the first listed symptom of the perilous times of the last days (II Tim 3:1-5). It is contrary to the Bible, which knows man loves himself enough and should learn to love others as much and esteem them better (Mat 22:39; Eph 5:28-29; Rom 12:10; Phil 2:3-4). Self-theory of the Bible is self-denial! The world says, “I am first.” The Bible teaches, “I am third.”

Wisdom is self-serving, for it brings peace and prosperity to your own life. Of course, all those around you will also benefit by your excellent spirit and superior conduct. But you yourself are the great beneficiary of Lady Wisdom’s gracious invitations (Pr 8:1-11; 9:1-5). The good life, the abundant life, and the successful life are what wisdom will bring the man that has it (Pr 16:22; 19:23). To reject Wisdom’s offer is to love death (Pr 8:36).

Do you love yourself? Of course! Then do something truly good for yourself today. Instead of a manicure or box of candy, which both cost money and disappear in days, get some wisdom. It is free and lasts forever. Keep the understanding you acquire, for it will bring good success into your life. Go ahead; pamper yourself with something valuable. 

Main Point: Only a few men have wisdom, but it is freely offered to all.

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive.  When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me...

Song: These Walls

You are good and do good;....  - Psalm 119:68  Few months back, I came across an inspiring song by Jason David who happens to be a pastor.  He was diagnosed with cancer. After a year-long fight with cancer that claimed much of his tongue, Pastor Jason David refuses to stop singing. "These Walls" is an original worship song he wrote that became his anthem as he fought through several surgeries, chemotherapy & radiation. For someone going through challenges; financial, health, marital, academic, whatever it may be, I pray this song will bless you - no matter what walls or mountains you may face, God is greater & God is good!  Below are the lyrics of the song: Verse: You are greater than these walls I'm circling  You are stronger than these army  I see You are bigger than these mountains that I faced And I will choose only to praise You.
