The Wisdom of Faith

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6)

 

Faith and wisdom necessitate that we believe God far beyond what we see, and that we believe Him at His Word — that He is in control, He is good, and all things work together for the good of those who love and serve Him acceptably. 

 

We must get beyond the childishness of thinking that all is well when circumstances are well, and all is not well when life is hard. It may very well be the opposite, so we must be wise in good times and bad, and we must remember that God is always faithful. That kind of faith and wisdom will help us rise above the limitations of earthly knowledge and the worldly wisdom in which so many walk. 

 

The wise and faithful saint diligently seeks HIM, not simply His blessings or His power, but His Person and His presence. In His presence is fullness of joy and pleasures forevermore. 

 

Let’s Pray — Father, I simply take you at your word. Your voice is the only voice that I heed. Lead me in the way that I should go, and I will follow. In Jesus name, Amen.
