As I have been back in the States, I have noticed that there appears to be no one in charge. There are a lot of voices or should I say echos sounding forth what they believe, what they don't believe, what they should believe, or what they could believe. I know that God has sent us back for this very hour and for such a time as this. I see chaos around me and can sense it in the atmosphere. It appears that things are hanging on by a thread and no matter what CNN or Fox or MSNBC says or does not say.....one thing is certain in my spirit. We are in for hard times but...........and I say but.......we have a rock upon which we stand that is sure who leads and guides us without fear and trepidation. His name is Jesus and He alone stands amidst all that falls around us.
So what about wisdom and the ability to navigate through this mess? Wisdom is our GPS system that navigates the waters of chaos and confusion. You access it to find your direction and the way you should go. Wisdom is the person of Jesus Christ. You can only trust He who is trustworthy and He alone can guide you through treacherous waters and high seas. Over and over the Lord tells us to cry out for Wisdom and you can read thoroughly about that in Proverbs. It is quite apparent that it is of the utmost importance that we seek wisdom. When things are in chaos and a multitude of opinions abound, one needs to seek wisdom and He will guide you through tough and tight circumstance.
Wisdom creates a path that is light and life. I have said that in another blog in the not so distant past. I say not so distant because I have not been consistent in writing but that will change. When? NOW! :)
I am a voice crying out and don't want to be an echo even if being a voice means speaking contrary to the prevailing norm. Wisdom, who is Jesus Himself, contradicts everything the world itself stands for and always will. He is peace amidst chaos. He guides us contrary to the fear that is overtaking people. He is wisdom when we sheerly don't know what to do and the path in front of us either does not appear clear or is not entirely the way we want to go. We follow Him and He guides us by His wisdom and in that place there is always safety. So before the next post, why don't you focus on these few verses and do some meditating.
Prov 2:6-7 6 For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding; 7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly; NKJV
James 1:4-8 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. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. NKJV
Wisdom sets the path for us to walk.
Wisdom requires risk for wisdom in the person of Christ Jesus alone sets the path His way and His way alone and that way is not comfortable and requires focus and trust.
Wisdom wants us to follow, moving out from our place of comfortability. For I am convinced that this is not a time to relax, stand still, or rest in anything but the movement that is found in Christ Jesus. Anything else is ludicrous for things my friends are going to shake and shake and shake.
