Perhaps you've heard the stories of people who came into a monetary fortune only to squander it. I've read accounts of lottery winners, people who received an inheritance, and professional athletes, who at one time had enough money to last their family for generations but let it run through their wallets like sand runs through our fingers at the beach.
We all know people who are consumed with making money and obtaining things but who never find their treasure at the end of the rainbow. Sadly, these people waste their lives pursuing the wrong goal.
There is something more valuable than gold and silver. It can in time provide us with abundance and at the same time keep us from squandering it. What am I talking about here? WISDOM. Wisdom is attainable for all of us who have a teachable and moldable spirit.
Today, seek wisdom. Learn something of eternal value today... and put it to work in your life!
Unfortunately, understanding often comes by way of going through adversity and/or discipline. I know without a shadow of doubt that God is sovereign; that when I call upon Him with all my heart, He will be found and He will bring me back from captivity (Jer. 29:11-14). I know that I do not have to be afraid of sudden fear, for the Lord will be confidence and will keep my foot from being caught (Prov 3:21-26).
ReplyDeleteIndeed, these are undeniable truths; but I still covet the prayers of His people, especially today, tomorrow and for the immediate couple of months.
