Seek His Wisdom and His Joy


                Have you had your JOY JUICE today? Use your good judgment and you’ll find yourself faithfully drinking it in every day! 

                Do you desire to be a wise person?  I sure do….but I know I have a long way to go, baby!  Growing in wisdom is a continual process and in order to become all that God intends us to be, He must have our cooperation!  

                We can read the Bible, but if we don’t apply it to our daily lives, there will be little spiritual growth.  We can say our blessings before meals, but if it just a memorized, rote prayer, we are not genuinely expressing our heart to God.   We can attend church regularly, but if we are not truly listening and receptive to what’s being taught, then we will become stagnant.

                Allow me to share two of the many verses in the Bible that refer to growing in wisdom and knowledge. 
·         Psalm 119:66 is a wonderful prayer:  Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in your commandments.”
·         Proverbs 1:5 “Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance.”

          Do you believe that the Bible is God’s inerrant Word?  That’s the first step to wisdom! Do you believe that God hears and answers your prayers?  If so, you are on your way toward spiritual wisdom.  Listen to the Holy Spirit as He speaks to you through Bible study and prayer; hear and learn about His ways which are so much “higher” than ours.  The path to wisdom will lead to JOY in the Lord!

           May we seek wisdom & joy by growing in the Lord.
