April 8, 2013 Trust, Tell, Live Wisdom

Read Proverbs 8 Trust, Tell, Live Wisdom Prov 8:11 for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her. WISDOM. Who can say that you on earth have wisdom? Compare your wisdom to the One, who has created all with His spoken Word and promises to restore all with his Truth of salvation. Who can say what wisdom is without God’s Wisdom? There is no such thing. No wisdom exists separate from God’s wisdom. What does wisdom do? Wisdom opens the door to understanding God’s great, eternal gift: John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” When we have the wisdom to receive God’s gift, we have eternal life. Second, wisdom gives your life eternal purpose: Matthew 28:19-20 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” The infinite God’s wisdom gives you purpose to tell his story. Third wisdom shows you how to respond to that purpose: Matt 22:37-39 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ Wisdom illuminates your life’s purpose. Trust God’s wisdom gift, tell of his wisdom gift and live the wisdom gift—forever. It’s True! God’s wisdom is life.
