Have you had your Joy Juice today? If
you’re running a little short on “joy”, then open the pages of your Bible and
you will find heaping servings….just for you!
As Christians, we should desire to
leave a legacy. I like to call it a legacy of joy. Solomon, one of the wisest men who ever
lived, left us a legacy in the form of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and Song of
Solomon. Why do these books hold so much wisdom? Because they were written under the
inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
Today let’s look into the book of Proverbs.
It is packed full of wisdom regarding a wide range of topics. But the bottom
line is that knowing God….really knowing Him personally…is the key to
wisdom. That is clear from the very
first chapter. Proverbs 1:7 says: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of
knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.”
At our fingertips, we can find
information in an instant….through books, through social media, and a variety
of resources. We can google most
anything and find answers to our questions. But we must remember that the foundation
of knowledge should be to respect and honor God; to live in awe of His power
and goodness; to be obedient to His
commands and instructions. When we completely trust in GOD—then we will receive
wisdom. That’s how to leave a joyful legacy.
Wisely drink in the joy of Jesus and leave a legacy of wisdom and
joy.
