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...

Unlimited Thanksgiving

 "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Our thanksgiving should be unlimited. Even If we have thousands tongue to thank God with, it can never be enough. Looking all around you, you will always find a reason to thank God. This year might be so challenging for you, things might not have gone smoothly as you expected, nevertheless you have got to thank God. We do not thank God FOR difficult situation but we thank God IN difficult situation. Don't just be that person that only does thanksgiving when things are going on fine. Don't be that person that thank God seasonally. Don't be that person that thank God only when they have a 'big' testimony to share. Don't be that person that just thank God just because the preacher asked them to. God has been so good from ages past. No one else deserves our appreciation more than Him. You will be...
