 'Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known'
(Proverbs 14:33).

There is the wisdom of man which manifest self and the wisdom of God which is the manifestation of the will of God. Godly wisdom manifest the spirit of God and solidify the existence of God. When we possess godly understanding there is no need to boast about wisdom. Fools brag about their knowledge of wisdom, when in fact they have none, if they have no true knowledge of God.
The Bible regards a fool as one who ignores godly wisdom and truth, in favour of their own preferences, beliefs and biases.
The Bible states that the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God (1 Corinthians 3:19).
When we choose to do God's will and abide with his principles, we are  wise and have unfailing security.  While those who choose not to comply with the will of God and reject his wisdom are foolish and have no security in Him.
We see all through Scriptures, that there is no middle ground; either you serve God or Satan. We see the contrast here of those who are considered wise and those who are fools.
All who are considered wise, have a godly knowledge and understanding of God; has humility and keeps his wisdom in his heart. They are content to listen and have few words and used discretion.
Those considered as fools, display ignorance and presumption; are full of pride; conceited and lack discretion; causing them to pour out folly inside.
Let us therefore examine ourselves, our hearts to see which category we fall in. One of having godly wisdom in our hearts to fulfil God's purpose for our lives, or having the wisdom full of pride and folly coming from our heart which self-centered.
Wisdom rest in the heart of one that has understanding. Do you have wisdom and understanding in your heart? How do others perceive you?
Let us seek and fear God.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and understanding.
It behoves us to fill our hearts with wisdom from heaven. It will bring great rewards and fit us for is for heaven. Ask of God if anyone lack wisdom, he promised to give it.
Let us be humble and committed to acquiring knowledge and wisdom, that we may be able to speak the words of truth to all who ask of us.
We have no need to boast of our wisdom to others, or let them know we have attained it every opportunity we get.
Having godly wisdom is about communicating our knowledge to others at the proper time, in the proper place and to the right persons.

Have a wonderful day

 'Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength' (Isaiah 26:4). In a time where there is so much confusion and uncertainty, God is calling us to trust Him always. He is our everlasting strength - the Rock of all ages, Jesus Christ our Lord. He is our refuge and strength in every trial we face and our everlasting Rock in every raging storms of our lives.

 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him  rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by  loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and...

'Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead , yet shall he live;' (John 11:25). The story of Lazarus is a well known one in the Bible. He and his sisters Martha and Mary were friends of Jesus, who loved them. Lazarus became sick and died, and after four days Jesus raised him from the dead. This was more for benefits of those around including His disciples, so that they may truly believe that God had sent him.  He was speaking  with Martha who was more focused on the telling Jesus the problem, than demanding a specific solution. We too can be so focus on the problems we faced, that we forget that God is  much bigger that the problem and is our solution to them. When Jesus told her Lazarus would rise again, she understood it to mean he would live again someday. But Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live." Christ at this time, was able...
