Wisdom’s Winning Voice

Wisdom’s Winning Voice

 

If you ever want to learn about the value of wisdom just begin reading the book of Proverbs and you will soon discover how valuable it is.  It is something that we simply cannot do without.   I call it, “wisdom’s winning voice” because obeying words of wisdom will always lead to success.

 

For instance, following wisdom will protect you from harm.  It will open doors for you.  It will keep you away from the wrong people, and stop you from getting involved in wrong situations.  Wisdom will also promote you, and cause others to seek specific help from you.

 

Ignoring the voice of wisdom is foolish because it comes from God and He knows all things.  We will never know a better way than how He leads us.  His word even instructs us to ask Him for wisdom if it is lacking in our lives.

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you – James 1:5 NIV        

 

It’s vitally important to remember that there is always a cost to pay when the choice is made not to listen to words of wisdom.   This is especially true when you are aware that the Lord is showing you a better way of doing something and the unwise choice is made to ignore Him.  It is disrespectful and turns into rebellion.

 

Make this a time that you consciously commit to allowing wisdom to be active in your life like never before.  As you do, you can expect advancement to occur.  Obeying the voice of wisdom will always cause you to win.

 

Reflections

 

1. What are some valuable things that you have learned by applying wisdom to your life?

 

2. Name some people in your life that you consider to be wise? What have you learned from them?

 

3. What will you do to make sure that you follow the voice of wisdom?

 

It is our goal to bring you anointed words and services that inspire, encourage, and foster a closer relationship with the Lord. We thank God for you and want you to know that you’re always welcome at The Angelic Pen, “Where the words of heaven flow from God’s Heart to your spirit.”

Special Prayer For Those Who Are Grieving

Special Prayer For Those Who Are Grieving

Special Prayer For Those Grieving

by Pastor Kimberly L. Smith

Dear Lord,

Thank You for always being there for me.  Thank You for knowing the secrets of my heart.  When everyone around me is celebrating, You understand and feel the pain that is speaking so loudly in my heart.

I realize that life goes on, but mine seems to always take an extended pause when I think about my loved one who has left this earth. Please heal my broken heart.  Please remind my heart that it will get better and heal if I stay close to You.

Help me to make the right choices and run to You when I’m feeling sad, lonely, confused, or even angry.  Help me to remember that You will always be there for me.

Your love, understanding, and compassion will never turn me away.  Thank You so much Lord for being the safest place for me.  I can always run to You for shelter.

I ask that You bring people in my life who are supportive and encouraging.  Please weed out those who are judgmental and lack empathy.

Father I believe Your word. I know that You will never leave me nor forsake me.  I thank You for being my comfort and my peace.  Thank You for being my strong tower.  Thank You for interpreting all my tears.  Thank You for always covering me with Your magnificent unfailing love.

In the Precious Name of Jesus I Pray,

Amen

Encouragement From God’s Word

 

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.  ~ Matthew 5:4

 

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.  ~ Psalm 34:18

 

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you ~Isaiah 41:10

 

I love the Lord, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy. Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live. ~Psalm 116:1-2

 

For he has not despised or scorned the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help. ~Psalm 22:24

 

…to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion — to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.  They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor. ~ Isaiah 61:2b-3

 

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. ~ Matthew 11:28

 

The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Deuteronomy 31:8

The Valuable Voice

The Valuable Voice

 

The Lord has made each of us different and unique.  He has a specific destiny planned for us.  He has placed various anointings, gifts, talents, skills, and abilities within us.  When you add that to our life experiences; the joys, sorrows, testimonies, our personality, and character then it becomes clearer that God has surely placed great treasure inside of us.  He has given us a valuable voice that can be shared with others to help them along their way.

 

Life has a way of teaching us important lessons.  If we are attentive and obedient to what we are to learn then we are sure to walk away with a wealth of God’s wisdom.  It is almost certain that we will experience those things again or perhaps even come in contact with others who are trying to figure out some of the same things that we’ve gone through.

 

If you find yourself in the presence of someone who may be struggling with something that you have conquered and you feel that your words can help them be sure to ask God for direction in how and when to share with them. Always come from a place of love and never judgement.   Refuse to let the enemy tell you that you have nothing to say.  Remember that your words have value, use them wisely.

 

Reflections

 

1. What do you think is most valuable about what you have to say?

 

2. Has God given you a special message to give to others? If so, what is it?

 

3. What’s the #1 thing that tries to hinder you from sharing what God has placed inside of you?

 

It is our goal to bring you anointed words and services that inspire, encourage, and foster a closer relationship with the Lord. We thank God for you and want you to know that you’re always welcome at The Angelic Pen, “Where the words of heaven flow from God’s Heart to your spirit.”
