Desire wisdom & understanding?

Happy New Year! Regardless of your past, my hope and prayer is that you be focused daily on your relationship with God, and that you take one day at a time moving into 2018. While this is not in my typical format of blogging, I am posting this here. It’s notes that I took this morning during my quiet time.
.
New year, new season and a new thing for 2018.

.

My only New Year‘s resolution is to seek God’s presence daily in order to see the world through His eyes and to point others to Him, not myself. It is my hope and prayer that you will do the same.

Desire WISDOM & UNDERSTANDING?
.
“Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding. Cry out for insight, and ask for understanding. Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like hidden treasures. Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord, and you will gain knowledge of God.” Proverbs‬ ‭2:2-5‬ ‭NLT‬‬
.
WISDOM is:
1. God GIVEN
2. Result of energetic/earnest SEARCH
.
Starting point —> GOD & the revealed WORD
.
Pathway —> Strenuous
.
True wisdom is God’s:
* He will GUIDE us
* He will REWARD our sincere & persistent search
.
Gain wisdom —> Through a CONSTANT PROCESS of GROWING
1. TRUST & HONOR God
2. REALIZE that the Bible reveals God’s wisdom
3. Make series of RIGHT CHOICES
4. AVOID moral pitfalls
5. LEARN from errors & RECOVER (2:9,10)
.
PRIDE appeals to the EMPTY HEAD, SEXUAL ENTICEMENT to the EMPTY HEART.
.
By LOOKING TO GOD, we can fill our HEADS with His wisdom & fill our HEARTS with His love (2:16, 17) = Fulfilling our destiny.
