A Twist in Our Adventure Together

/ Pearls of Wisdom, Posts / / , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Why are you upset when you are robbed of time, money, things or plans? Do I not own all time, money, things and plans? Do I not Love you and walk with you each day? Rather than be upset by the robbery, consider it a new twist in Our adventure together. Understand that the lost one who made the choice to steal from you is a potential friend who needs Me. James 1:2-4  2 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4 And let [e]endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. James 1:12 Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Romans 8:28 And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose. Matthew 6:25, 32-34  Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? . . .  32 your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Spiritual Adultery

/ Pearls of Wisdom, Posts / / , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

11-2 To commit idolatry is to allow something to capture your desire other than Me. It is to commit spiritual adultery. Many things can be idols . . . money, self-glorification, control, influence, bodily desires, peer approval, comfort, happiness, justice. The phrase, “eating meat sacrificed to idols,” means to approve of idols and accept them as legitimate and appropriate whether in your own life or in the lives of others. 1 Corinthians 10:21You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. 22 Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? We are not stronger than He, are we? 23 All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify. 24 Let no one seek his own good, but that of his neighbor. 28 But if anyone says to you, “This is meat sacrificed to idols,” do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for conscience’ sake; 29 I mean not your own conscience, but the other man’s; for why is my freedom judged by another’s conscience? 1 John 2:15-17 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever. Galatians 4:8 Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods. Deuteronomy 6: 4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is One. 5 And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.…

The value of wisdom

/ Pearls of Wisdom, Posts / / , , , , , , , , , , , ,

My Wisdom is more precious than money, counseling, books, and advice. Ask Me and I will give it to you freely, but you must not doubt or disobey Me. A parent does not entrust family treasures to a child who knows what to do, but does not do it. Begin with quiet obedience and I will give you more Wisdom. Be faithful in little and I will give you more. Not by might or power but by Me – get Wisdom. Stop and seek Me. James 1:5-7 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. But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord. James 3:13 Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. 15 This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. 16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. 17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. 18 And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace

Money

Money is a can opener of the heart.  It reveals what’s inside. 1 Timothy 6:10 Certainly, the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Jeremiah 6:13 All of them, from the least important to the most important, are eager to make money dishonestly. All of them, from prophets to priests, act deceitfully.
