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.

Jesus The Good Shepherd Final
Today’s Reading: John 10:11-16 Version ESV
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+10%3A11-16&version=ESV

Do you know a sheep shepherd? You may know some cowboys; however, a sheep shepherd is rare in our countries. In Jesus’ day, there were many shepherds, and He used the example of the shepherd to discuss his care for us. At the time of Jesus, the shepherd tended his flock in the open field. He always was ahead of his flock, leading them to places where the grass was green, and the best. He knew all of his sheep one by one, he knew which one needed more care and carried them over his shoulder if necessary.

To abandon the sheep when a wild animal attacked was never an option. It would be an act of cowardice on the part of the shepherd. He was willing to give his life, if needed, to save his sheep.

Jesus speaks of shepherds; however, he actually refers to pastors of humans. The pastor of humans should be like a shepherd: always ready to lead people to the green fields of the knowledge of God’s will and the clear and refreshing waters that enliven the spirit.

The pastor of the human herd should know each person and be ready to share his life by risking it if necessary even to die for his sheep. Only Jesus, the Good Shepherd, has all these qualities. That is why he is called the good shepherd!

Communion With The Lord 2
Today’s Reading: Revelation 3:20
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+3%3A20&version=RSV

It was early in the morning, just after sunrise when Jesus got up and went to a secluded place to pray.

Jesus, being one with the Father, with perfect knowledge of the complexities of this world, with a mission to accomplish; made constant use of prayer to be always in communion with God, the Father.

The same should happen with us!

You are in communion with God when you keep open, through prayer, a channel of communication with him; when you live according to his principles and act according to his will.

Communion is a means of communication between our earthly existence and eternal life. Communion is the seamless integration between God the Father and his children.

However, it is necessary that each communion be spontaneous, because Jesus does not force anyone to serve; He simply invites you: “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.”

This is a gracious invitation that Jesus makes to you, to address important issues; as, for example, your relationship with God.
