Wisdom in God

 

    Faith is a journey.  It is a life-long journey.  Sometimes you feel like you are getting no where.  Sometimes you feel like things are pointless or hopeless.  Sometimes things move so fast that you can't even see everything that is happening.  Sometimes it is laborious.  We need to enjoy life, but the point is your journey is headed home to spend eternity with God.  Understanding this gives you wisdom and discernment.

    As you learn wisdom in your relationship with God, you learn His warnings.  You learn how to avoid some traps and ways to escape other traps.  Life is an adventure even it if it may look boring to the outside world.  It is full of temptation that will be happy to take you down, but trusting the Holy Spirit and listening in all circumstance, then you can avoid destruction.

    You have to understand who God is to have wisdom.  You have to comprehend how the way of the world is foolish.  You need to embrace God's way of living as the superior way to live life.  Your life is spent 100% of the time with yourself and God.  You have to live with the choices you make, but God is always your audience or partner.  Everyone else is only there a portion of the time.  Relationships are important, but never as important as the one you have with God.

    Wisdom in God gives you a sense of familiarness with your creator.  You can feel known and find comfort in knowing you are never left out in the world alone.  There is no escape from God.  You can embrace that or you can fight it or fight it, but the truth never changes.  Wisdom is knowing what is good, bad, and ugly and how to handle the situations.

    When life gives you situations where it looks like nothing good could ever come from it, it really requires trusting God.  The evil in the world will mess with your perception and make it's false wisdom look like the only way to win.  If you follow the false wisdom, then you fall into corruption and it will mess with your head on who you really are: God's creation, child, and being beloved.

    Corruption can be subtle.  You may not see it has even happened until you do something that you can't believe you actually did.  Peter loved Jesus, but he still denied ever knowing Jesus three times.  Corruption destroys wisdom in the moment.  It is serious, but you can move past it.  Acknowledge what you did was sinful, embrace the gravity of it, and then give it to Jesus so you can move on without it crippling you.

    Jesus knows who you are.  He knows everything you have done.  He still loves you and wants you with him.  He died for you and resurrected so you can have another day to do better and spend eternity with him in Heaven.  Wisdom is understand and embracing the truth.  It is also understanding that anything you do not repent of and let go, that you will have to answer to God one day.  Let it go today and face God with a clear conscience another day.
