PROVERBS (SEEKING WISDOM)

Sooooo......This morning I read in proverbs the contrast between EVIL and GOODNESS....but let me tell you something that I realized. These first 13 chapters are split up into 2 sections, the first 7 chapters talk contrast RIGHTEOUSNESS and WICKEDNESS, and chapters 14-20 contrast EVIL and GOODNESS, but all the verses speak on the same subject matter! All the verses in these chapters talk about the lying tongue being an abomination, being a prideful and haughty person leading to destruction, watching what what you say before you say it, seeking wisdom instead of riches, listening to good counsel, fearing the Lord, and helping the less fortunate! Over and over and over these subject matters come up, just worded differently, sometimes worded exactly alike!! It goes back to what I said in an old post, how teacher impart what they want their students to learn, they have give them the same information SEVERAL times to make sure they retain the information! THAT IS WHAT GOD DOES! He doesn't expect us to just read or hear it once and POOF, that's it, all fixed, ALL DONE! Becoming more like Christ requires that we read His instructions and commandments OVER AND OVER AND OVER, to insure that we retain the information God (our teacher) wants us to know! Every story in the bible are examples of what happens when you do, or don't do what God has commanded! God wants us to be successful, He gives us all the tools we need to be so! IN HIS WORD!! THE WORD, THE WORD, THE WORD!! He gives us CLEAR and PRECISE information that will help us to make the right decisions during our day to day life!! Fearing God insures that we live a full, and successful life!! Now, fearing God isn't a negative thing! God doesn't want to make us do the right thing through intimidation and threats! Fearing God means to head His word, doing the right thing, making the right decisions, because we know if we don't it will lead to our destruction! Destruction brought on by our OWN doing, becoming a slave to sin again! Living again in the bondage that God already freed us from! I RATHER FEAR GOD THAN LIVE IN THAT KIND OF BONDAGE EVER AGAIN! God wants us to seek Him DAILY, He will not let you fall, or stumble if we are intentional in seeking His wisdom everyday! In the will of God is the safest place we ever be in our lives! Walking in His will means obeying His commandments, it means denying ourselves, and if I have to deny myself of COCAINE, ALCOHOL, WEED, LUST, FORNICATION, CURSING, AND PRIDE, A LYING TONGUE, THIEVERY, CERTAIN MOVIES AND WORLDLY MUSIC, NEGATIVE PEOPLE AROUND ME, AND MY FIRST CLASS TICKET TO HELL, to live a blessed life full of happiness, joy, peace, freedom from death and sin, the promise of eternal life in heaven, everything I need and want according to Gods plan, THAN DENY MYSELF AND FEAR GOD I SHALL!!! When spelled all out like that, the choice seems easy, but the flesh can be a strong thing, it calls to us EVERYDAY! That is why I cling to the word of God, that is why I say in almost every post READ READ READ READ READ READ the word of God, apply it to your life, be obedient to His commandments, and watch how God blesses you, with things you couldn't even think about asking for, AND MORE!! I love you to LIFE!! GOD LOVES YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN EVER IMAGINE!!!
