Wisdom Is Ours For the Asking

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

James 1:5

Did you ever notice that some of the most unlikely people seem to consistently make good decisions?  How can that be? 

I think this scripture answers that question.  We do not have to be rocket scientists to make wise decisions.  Wisdom is the ability to understand and evaluate the options and act in accordance with the best one.  The best one may not be our favorite one, but the best one will produce good results, and isn’t that what we want in life? 

God did not create us to stumble through life.  He created us to be victorious and that is why when we ask He will give us wisdom.

Hang In There

But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 

For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end….

Hebrews 3:13-14

The Kindness of God

But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 

Titus 3:4-7

The Bible Is Our Owner's Manual

All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy 3:16-17

The Bible is our Owner’s manual. 

God did not call us and then leave us to our own devices to figure out what we should do.  God gave us a guide for living and serving Him. 

Read the Bible for comfort, for direction, for instruction, and for a revelation of God’s never ending love. 

Be Content

But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment.  For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either.  If we have food and covering, with these we shall be content.

I Timothy 6:6-8

Tired, Get Revived

But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary of doing good. 

2 Thessalonians 3:13

When we are tired of working our prayer is:  Lord, revive me! 

Our work is more than making widgets or pouring coffee or crunching numbers, our work is taking the Gospel to the world.  We do this by ministering to those around us through kindness, consideration and overlooking that which is annoying.

Jesus didn’t sit down on the job and neither should we.  

Get revived and get busy doing good.
