Seek for the True Wisdom

We are not of this world. We are Gods children who came to stay in the world for a while. But the powers of the world try to deceive us and make us worldly. It tempts us and drag us down to sin so as to block our way, back to our Fathers Eternal house. We need immunity to fight the world. We need wisdom to differentiate what is right for us. For this wisdom we must see the world through the Lords eyes. We must feel the world through His hands. We must conquer this world like Jesus. Always remember "the world is made for us by our Father in Heaven ; we are not made for the world".The world should never slave us.

For this wisdom to fill in us, we should seek Lord first. We must accept in our souls that we are living by His breath in us. 

As James 1:5-8 says:

"Do any of you need wisdom? Ask God for it. He is generous and enjoys giving to everyone. So he will give you wisdom. But when you ask God, you must believe. Don’t doubt him. Whoever doubts is like a wave in the sea that is blown up and down by the wind.  People like that are thinking two different things at the same time. They can never decide what to do. So they should not think they will receive anything from the Lord."

When we were little children, we used to believe blindly what our parents say.They held our hands and guided us until we were able to fly by our own. In the same way ,as a child depends on their parents, we must be to God. We are immature in spirit,hence we must grow in His wisdom that has been planted in us as the Holy Spirit.We must hear His voice.

James 1:21

"Be humble and accept God’s teaching that is planted in your hearts. This teaching can save you."

The Holy spirit that God gave us teaches us everything that we need for living in this world.  Let us invite Him to our thoughts and give our ear to the Spirit, be humble and hear what He says...for we are not enough to live this world but the one who is in us is greater than the world.

1 Corinthians 2:10-12

"The Spirit knows all things. The Spirit even knows the deep secrets of God.  It is like this: No one knows the thoughts that another person has. Only the person’s spirit that lives inside knows those thoughts. It is the same with God. No one knows God’s thoughts except God’s Spirit. We received the Spirit that is from God, not the spirit of the world. We received God’s Spirit so that we can know all that God has given us."

Let us be aware of what God has given us and how He has planned it for us.Let us live life through Him.

Lord Heavenly king open our minds ,ears, eyes and all senses to receive your wisdom to live in this world as you chose us, conquering it and reaching to you finally. Let this world never make us far away from you. Amen
