Have you
had your JOY JUICE today? It’s aged to
perfection! Be wise and drink in your personal serving.
Most often
wisdom comes with age. When people have
“been there, done that” and learned a lesson for having made some mistakes,
they grow in wisdom. But it seems that
not everyone is willing to learn from their mistakes. We all know some young people who seem to
display more wisdom than many older folks.
1 Timothy 4:12 says: “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an
example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in
purity.”
·
Joseph the son of Jacob was made
overseer in the house of the Captain of the Guard in Egypt when he was just 17years old.
·
Ruth was a young widow when she chose
to stay with her mother-in-law to be a blessing to her.
·
David was only a boy when he killed a
giant.
·
Mary of Nazareth was a young virgin
when she conceived the Savior, Jesus Christ.
The Bible gives us example after example of men and
women who were young, AND those who
were older, who displayed
wisdom. But there is one thing they all had
in common….their wisdom came from hearing God and being obedient to His
leading.
No
matter our age or stage of life, we should all pursue Godly wisdom by seeking
Him in all that we do. Godly wisdom
leads to JOY in Christ!
