Everyone wants to be happy. God made us to
be eternally happy. He has established
this world in such a way that doing good through faith in Christ will always
lead to greater happiness.
Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding. Proverbs 3:13
The key to lasting happiness is to gain
wisdom. Wisdom is to know what to
do and be able to apply that knowledge to the situations of life.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of
wisdom; a good understanding have all those who do His commandments. Psalm
111:10.
The fear of the Lord means we are so in
love with our Father that we don’t want to do anything that would grieve Him.
It is when we understand just how much He loves us that wisdom truly
begins. Those who fear the Lord will
want to spend time with Him. They will have insight and wisdom in a way
others won’t. Their desire will be to
please their Father and they will trust His ways over their own.
As we spend time in His Word and obey His commands we gain wisdom and
understanding of what to do in situations and we use good judgment making
decisions in our lives.
This weekend’s challenge is to begin to get
wisdom. The first essential thing you must do to get wisdom is come to
Jesus. You must believe the He is your Lord and Savior. That He died for your sins and rose three days later and is now seated in heaven with His
Father. Second, since wisdom
is found in the Word of God, you must get into the Word and do what it says. The third thing we should do to get wisdom
is pray. Wisdom is a gift of God, therefore, we should pray to God to give us
wisdom.
