Food for thought, we need to understand that the first thing to ask God for every day is wisdom. The Bible says that the boy Jesus increased in wisdom, then in stature and in favor with God and man. Notice that this happened after Jesus went home with His parents and was submissive to them. (Luke 2:51–52)
And it is good for our young people to realize this because truth is some of them have a know-it-all attitude and think that they don’t have to submit to anyone let alone their parents. If there was anyone who knew it all, it was Jesus. Yet, He subjected Himself to His earthly parents. That is class. That is quality. That is cool.
It is cool not to retaliate even though you have the power to. Meekness is strength under control. Power that is running all over the place is not power at all. We all admire a person who demonstrates real power someone who can retaliate but refuses to. Jesus demonstrated it best at the CROSS!
Like Solomon, we need to be humble too. We need to see our need for God’s wisdom and to ask Him for it. The Bible says:
James 1:5
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
“If any of you lacks wisdom…” I always see myself in this place. That is why my prayer is always, “God, give me the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Christ to serve you better.”
We need wisdom to overcome the challenges we face in life. But wisdom will never come unless you see your need for it.
Let’s discuss thoughts!
How do you see this pertains to you?
Have you felt this way?
Look forward to the discussions....
