The Proverb Challenge: Day 2

For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
- Proverbs 2:6 KJV

Day 2:

There are basically two things that I learnt in Proverb Chapter 2. Firstly, God is the Sole giver of Wisdom. Secondly, He will give it to you if you truly seek for it.

Foolishness is never of God.  Everything about God is   
Wisdom. So many people seek wisdom outside God and they don't realize every Wisdom comes from God. There is no new knowledge with God. He knows them all which is why He is the One we need to ask Wisdom from. 

God gladly and freely gives us Wisdom. Even the fear of the Lord start with wisdom. You can't fear God if you do t have Wisdom. 

The Lord gives Wisdom to those that truly seek, thirst and hunger after it. The Wisdom of God won't just fall on you. You got to seek after it. Wise people are those goes after Wisdom.  What makes one foolish is not the absence of Wisdom, rather it is the not seeking after Wisdom that makes you foolish.  Solomon asks God for Wisdom to govern His people because He realize what makes things work is the Wisdom from above. So many Heads of government rely on their advisers (which is nothing wrong) but it will be foolish to think they are the Wisdom at your disposal. 

Show me a man who is foolish and I will show you a man who is not seeking after Wisdom.


Main Lesson: You can never be wise outside of God.  

Join me tommorow as we study the third chapter of the book of Poverbs.

Do have a blessed day...

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...

If Men Were God

He sends  rain  on the just and on the unjust. - Matthew 5:44 It's raining as I type this post and I remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:45 where he talks about  God sending the rain on both the just and unjust. God won't because are a sinner or a bad personal withdraw the rain from Falling on your side. One special trait we are to emulate from God is that we should not discriminate. If men were God, the rain will be raining only on the good, the sun will be shinning only on the perfect. We humans readily discriminate, we isolate those we feel are not perfect or good. We see those who have sinned as been candidates of hell as if we haven't sinned before. One major problem of our society is discrimination. Even in church, we discriminate, we see that prostitute and we readily condemned her. We readily forget that as children of God, we don't just do good to good people, we are to do good to everybody. It doesn't matter how bad a person might be, you ...
