A Lack of Knowledge
In this time in our country, we are all looking for answers. This is a time when we can easily be miss-led. All the proven fake new, inaccurate numbers and politicians trying to make ground on people’s misery can be daunting, to say the least.
Have faith, don’t give up yet … I’ve got a message of truth for you and some instruction, that if you follow it, will help and even change your life.
Read on, don’t go surfing now, you may be about to change your life.
When you get through reading and studying this let us know what you thought and tell us if it helped …
Sometimes the grind of low enthusiasm results from not having sufficient knowledge to address life’s difficulties. While additional training in management or finances or parenting or vocational skills can certainly help, all knowledge must be built upon a foundation of spiritual wisdom. In verses, 98–100 of Psalm 119, the composer speaks of the superiority of the Word over three sources of truth held in high esteem by the world.
- The Word makes us wiser than our enemies.
Your commandments make me wiser than my enemies,
For they are ever mine. (Psalm 119:98)
The world places great importance on knowledge gained from experience. In this case, the songwriter mentions experience in dealing with our enemies. But he says that the one who has a grasp of the Word is wiser than his enemies. Sometimes difficult people can drag our enthusiasm down. Divine wisdom will help us rise above the negative effects of people who drag us down.
- The Word gives us more insight than all our teachers.
I have more insight than all my teachers, for Your testimonies are my meditation. (Psalm 119:99)
The world also emphasizes the importance of getting knowledge from education. While additional knowledge in a field of study or training in a particular skill never hurts, the Lord says that the one who knows the Word possesses more insight than his educators. What good is an Ivy League education in business or law if you don’t know how to live wisely? What help is a vocational certification if moral foolishness leads you astray?
- The Word causes us to have more understanding than the aged.
I understand more than the aged,
Because I have observed Your precepts. (Psalm 119:100)
I wholeheartedly encourage respect for older people. I’m becoming one of them! Yet I have noticed that age doesn’t necessarily lead to understanding. On the contrary, I have observed many old fools and have learned from many young sages. Verse 100 declares that one who obeys God’s Word gains more understanding than many years without the benefit of the Scriptures. In Job 32:8–9, we find a similar observation:
But it is a spirit in man,
And the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding.
The abundant in years may not be wise,
Nor may elders understand justice.
Knowledge and application of the written truths of the Word will better equip us for life than the combined advantages of hard-knock experiences, dedicated teachers, and even decades of living. The Scriptures provide more than mere knowledge. From the Bible, we receive insight. Insight translates to effectiveness. Effectiveness leads to success. Success builds confidence. And confidence inspires enthusiasm.
God wants all His children to succeed, He loves us so much and I’m sure, beyond a doubt, that includes you.
First, have you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior? That’s a must and it’s simple … If you want Jesus in your heart just go to Romans 10:9-10 and follow those easy to follow instructions and then start your new life.
Now, if you notice on the side of our home page there’s a box that says The Roman Road, click on that and spend some time studying what’s there … if you have any questions feel free to contact me, I’d be happy to help any way I can.
Be blessed my brothers and sisters until we together again KEEP LOOKING UP!!
Lord Jesus,
We come to you with praise on our lips and love in our hearts. We need you Lord and ask your forgiveness for our sins.
We need an end to this racial conflict, we are all one, “ALL LIVES MATTER”, none should be lost in violence.
Lord, I pray the ones causing this chaos will be brought to light and a just punishment be administered. Lord reveal the corrupt politicians using this time of strife to benefit themselves rather than helping our country.
Father God, protect our president and give him GODLY wisdom to lead our country.
Protect our first responders and military.
Lord, we need a cure for this virus sooner than later and sick to be healed. Isaiah 53:5 says; By your stripes, we are healed and I claim that in Jesus’s name for all who are sick and in need of your touch.
We thank You for it and all you do, giving you praise and glory.
In Jesus precious name we pray
Amen
