Christians: Wisdom For Living.
Without a community you will struggle. This is why the Bible stresses the importance of not forsaking the gathering of God's people too. You can't do life all alone. No one can make it out here all alone.
Wisdom is not a destination but it is continuous. We all have situations in our lives where we are at a crossroad without knowing what to do or where to go. There are minor or major decisions to always make in life and you need someone by your side that can either point you in the right direction or share life's experience with you.
Do you only seek people when you will need help or when it will favour you? If that's all you seek, then it will boomerang later on. People know when they are being used and they would go to where they are celebrated rather than where they are tolerated.
How Do You Live A Life That Will Make A Difference?
Seek God:
A seeking heart can't go wrong especially if you are seeking God. Without God, you are nothing. Giving the right situation, you can do about anything and having God helps us not to throw caution to the wind. Anyone can be bad but God is the deciding factor.
We need to have a seeking heart...a heart that wants to learn...a heart that wants more wisdom and knowledge. The Bible clearly tells us to seek God when He may be found. Our ways of living should show our desire for wisdom and wisdom is seeking God. Are you truly seeking God with your heart?
Choice/Decisions:
You must be intentional in what you are doing. You always have a choice to make in this life and your choices would determine what you get out of life.
People and pain would bring about the wisdom you need in this life. People learn with pain and people learn from experiences in dealing with others. Make a choice to learn from people - by asking questions and also by observing too. There is wisdom that pain would teach you that no other person can teach you. Without pain, the learning can't be felt. If the gold won't go through the pain of process, it won't come out beautiful. Sometimes it's until you get to the rock bottom before you can muster the strength to stand. You will learn a lot through that and have better standing to teach others who haven't yet dealt with pain.
Good Conduct:
Show your works by your good conduct. Live in such a way that others can be drawn to you. Always make it a point of duty to reflect Jesus in you. How do you talk? How do you dress? What motivates you? What comes to the mind of people the moment they see you? What impression are you giving to people at first point of contact?
Gentle Spirit:
Being meek doesn't mean weakness. Meekness means a power that is under control. You are not trying to impress others or throw things in their faces. You want to see the true state of a person? Give that person power and the real person will show up. Power has a way of bringing out the realness in people. This is why meekness should be a conscious state to us so that we can handle whatever comes.
Meekness is being bold even when faces with evil. It also shows your ability even when provoked. How do you respond to situations? Boldness without brokenness is bullying. Being broken is a state of meekness.
Thank you for your time.
