The last several days well ok weeks all postings have had to do with love starting in Geneses and have followed through Ephesians yesterday and leading to Revaluation i have about another 22 days lined up about love. But today and perhaps the next few days we need to speak about something ells.

 

Back on Monday, July 17, 2017 i posted on 1Corinthians 13:1-13

 

Throughout the night i have felt the need to go back to

1Corinthians 13 and speak about 11-13

 

1 Corinthians 13:11-13 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then I will know even as I am also known And now abides faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

 

Speaking in childish way, understanding in childish ways, thanking in childish ways …. Over the last few days I have really become aware of a lot of boys in the church, ranging from the age of 13 to 50 individuals who are not and have not grown up speaking childish, from childish understandings, and meditating (thinking on) childish things most of their waking hours.

It saddens my heart to see an 18 year-old babbling on as if they were 3 or 4, or a 50 year-old more interested in playing games them taking care of business.

 

Back in 1972 i read Psalms and Proverbs for the first time and here is what I go out of it.

 

Psalms 49:3 My mouth will speak wisdom, And the meditation of my heart will be understanding.

 

The words i speak are important and should be wisdom and wisdom will come from understanding, and what I need to understand is the word of God.

 

Proverbs 1:1-7

The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel:

To know wisdom and instruction,

To discern the sayings of understanding,

To receive instruction in wise behavior, Righteousness, justice and equity;

To give good judgement to the foolish,

To the youth knowledge and discretion,

A wise man will hear and increase in learning, And a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel,

To understand a parable, and the interpretation, the words of the wise, and their hidden sayings

 

Proverbs 1:7 says The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

 

i questioned “who is this Lord i am to fear?”

 

And went to the word and found He is the creator of heaven and earth, that He knew me before i was born, and i understood anyone with the power and authority to create also had the power to destroy, and i also seemed to understand if the Lord knew me before i way born He also knew me now, then read that His eye is ever on us that means He sees everything i do. i knew i was a sinner and still am sinful today and that He is watching me and caring for me but that He could take my life by the blink of His eye.

 

i prayed and asked Father God for wisdom and understanding Wisdom in and of the words in the Bible, for understanding of the meaning of these words, and the hidden things in these words, that my eyes and heart would be opened to understanding of the words and the world around me.

Than i proceeded to read and as i read it seemed each statement Solomon made seemed to be absorbing in to my life.

 

So over the next few days I want to empress on you to ask Father God for wisdom and understanding of His words, so that your life may be changed from childish thoughts and actions to a mature life in Christ.
