Seeking for Wisdom 02

Proverbs 11:28- A life devoted to things is a dead life..a stump.

A God shaped life is a flourishing tree.

(as scribbled in my journal)

Priorities, priorities, priorities

If lady wisdom were around she'd probably be shaking her head with that tsk, tsk, tsk thing going on.  It seems like more and more there are more and more distracting things thrown into our already ADHD worlds (things, things, things).

it's a fight to see if we are really making the right priorities

What we are holding and valuing in the highest regard.

What things are demanding our attention and are they even worth gaining our attention?

Our we God pleasing? or man pleasing? 

Is living Kingdom minded a fashion fleeting away or are we the pioneers of a revolution of God seeking, God fearing, power shaking, earth changing warriors?

Is it my four and no more?

Do we recognize the God shaped life?

I want a God shaped life..one that flourishes, thrives, grows, evolves into eternal goodness. 

Shake everything that can be shaken.

Starting with our priorities.

i love with the Lord speaks through wisdom.

Seeking for Wisdom 01

I needed to steal away last night into the quiet. Into the place where it's just me and God. I kept hearing 'wisdom' and knew that instead of trying to lean unto my own understanding God was sending me to the book of proverbs.  I opened up to Chapter 10 and my eyes fell  upon verse 12.

"Hatred stirreth up strife but love covers all sins"

notice it says ALL sins...not just some...not just the ones we think may weigh as more serious than others...ALL SINS

Sin is sin, and the truth is, we all sin. But love covers a multitude of sins. God's love is so wide and deep that it covers our sins.  Could you image what it would be like if God was like "oh you sinned today, I can't love you anymore...'you sinned again are you kidding me? I can't believe you lied to me, i'm done with you." Praise God he loves us in the midst of our sins. He loves us when we trip, slip, and fall smack on our faces.  He loves us when we lie to Him, when we lie to ourselves.  God is not a God of strife and division.  Being upset and stirring up anger leads to strife (vigorous or bitter conflict, discord, or antagonism) And that's not something we want being stirred up.

I don't now about anyone else but that is a beautiful revelation to embrace: love covers all sins.
