Jesus os Wisdom final
JESUS IS WISDOM
Today’s Reading: 1 Kings 3:3-15 Version NIV
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Kings+3%3A3-15&version=NIV

If God would let us ask for anything, which he would meet immediately and without restrictions, perhaps we would ask for health, a new house, a home for all who now lack it. This was exactly what God intended when He appointed Solomon as king of Israel instead of King David. God appeared to Solomon and said, “Ask what you want me to give you.” Solomon asked God for wisdom to govern the people. Look at this, Salomon did not ask for riches, wealth or honor, he only asked for wisdom. The wisdom of God is not a lot of knowledge; nor the technical and scientific capacity to unravel the mysteries of science; nor the ability for music, art or be able to do any other work.

All these gifts also come from God; however, the wisdom of God is much more than that. The wisdom of God is the spiritual ability to know how to act according to the will of God in any and all circumstances of life.

If you have the wisdom of God in your life, you are happy! Anyone who wants such wisdom should only ask God as Solomon did.

Simply ask, “I want Jesus to enter into my life.” Jesus is God’s Wisdom.

Eliminate the Attitude
Today’s Reading: Psalm 62:9 Galatians 5:26 James 1:9 Job 20:6-7 Version=CEV

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+62%3A9%3B+Galatians+5%3A26%3B+James+1%3A9%3B+Job+20%3A6-7&version=CEV

“Where do you work? What do you do?” These are some of the questions we get when we meet a person. If an individual is an executive, to us it could seem to be a person of prestige, power and respect. But if it is a simple worker with calloused hands, sunburned, we do not give much attention or any prominence to them.

If a girl is going to marry an engineer, people say: “It will be a good marriage”; but if he marries a simple manual laborer, our thinking is different.

We value people by what they do and what they are. God, however, has given us different gifts, and each individual has their own abilities. Some skills are more visible than others, but everyone is important.

God has given each of us different abilities and gifts, according to his will. If God does that distribution of gifts and considers all equally important, it is we who need to change. We need to re-evaluate the judgment we make of our fellow men.

A psalmist wrote in the Bible: “We humans are only a breath; none of us are truly great. All of us together weigh less than a puff of air”.

We challenge you to eliminate that attitude of arrogance and value both the one that picks up the trash or the barber, as the doctor or engineer.
