A weekly Devotional -  Peace - The Wisdom of God

Do you seek to monitor what your heart contemplates during the day? Yes, I know that you are busy… all of us are, even retired folks like myself; I am very busy being retired… not-a-pun intended! All along we have been looking at the “two” platforms wisdom in the world. One of these wisdoms has flourished from eternity and will continue throughout eternity, Proverbs 8:1-36. The other platform of wisdom had it's beginning (Genesis 3:1-7) and will have an end.(Revelation 20:11-15). Those who refuse to accept the Wisdom of God will perish like Satan; Proverbs 8:36. But what about those of us who know the Truth, but sometimes allow our mind to live in the bondage of double-mindedness? Playing on both sides is dangerous, and the first warning is the loss of "Peace with God.

Comments and Challenges:

The apostle Paul exhorts, in Galatians 6:1-5 that we ought to bear the burdens of our self and others. Burdens may not necessarily be a sin, but the apostle uses the word “trespass” to show that burdens can lead to overstepping the will of God. Failure to bare one another's burdens cause sin to develop. When left unattended by avoiding godly wisdom, sin or trespass is the result and the peace of God leaves us. You and I know all too well that when we are under the burden of any circumstance of life the prayer to seek the wisdom of God is not what we most often think to do.

Peaceable solutions do not come from the earthly and sensual (emotional) wisdom of the world, the apostle James (James 3:13-18) explains plainly that this wisdom is demonic and see Genesis 3. The wisdom of the world around us is (and you know this) is full of envy and strife. Even in the burden of another, envy can be present. In these opportunities to help, self-seeking advantages exist, now don’t allow yourself to be naïve about this; as evil (the wisdom of this world) is always present.

The peace of God will always guard our soul and our mind in Christ Jesus the LORD when we are interceding and bearing the burdens of our self and others in “Prayer”! Otherwise when we are not, we will use the earthly and sensual anxiousness of the world’s wisdom. Notice; "In everything” by prayer and supplication (a humble request) and with thanksgiving, let God know from a pure soul that you are seeking His Wisdom to deal with the burdens of living eternally in a temporal world, Philippians 4:4-7.

This is the true work of faith that brings peace as James explains in his epistle; the work is completed in the Wisdom from above yielding good fruits that are full of mercy, without partiality and without hypocrisy. Also this work is sown in peace… Are you then a “peace-maker” or a “peace-taker”?

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 169 Luke 14:7-14 - So He told a parable to those who were invited, when He noted how they chose the best places, saying to them: “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the best place, lest one more honorable than you be invited by him; “and he who invited you and him come and say to you, ‘Give place to this man,’ and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place. “But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you. “For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. Then He also said to him who invited Him, “When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid. “But when you give a fea

The Devotional – Search the Scriptures – 161.1 SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:   Luke 12:1-5 There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. “Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” Jesus, the Christ of God/Messiah An excerpt from yesterday’s devotional: In our passage, the point of the LORD is not that of being a newscaster but placing the death of these people beyond human judgment, in fact; Jesus does not look at the death of human beings as we do. All humans, past present and future will die a ph
