His wisdom, His love

Posted on by Just broken

Psalm 33:4-5 (NLT)
4 For the word of the Lord holds true, and we can trust everything he does.
5 He loves whatever is just and good; the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth.

Matthew 23:12 (NLT)
12 But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.

Galatians 6:9 (NLT)
9 So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.

We humans can be stubborn and arrogant. We claim the top of the food chain and run the world to our “benefit” – with all the attendant things like violence, environmental issues, etc. If you think I’m being to harsh, ask yourself if we’re being good stewards of what we’ve been given or if there’s not room for massively significant improvement.

The Lord loves what is just and good. His love fills the earth and that’s where good comes from. We in the west claim it as our nature. I’m sure other cultures do as well. It’s not. Love comes from God, good comes from God.

Be humble or be humbled. Never tire of doing good, fight the good fight, swim against the current of the world.

Make a difference with sacrificial love. That’s God’s way, that’s his love, that’s his word, that’s his wisdom.

Proverbs 9:12 (NLT)
12 If you become wise, you will be the one to benefit. If you scorn wisdom, you will be the one to suffer.

I Love The Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the blessings He has poured into my life. I pray that I live a life that glorifies Him in all I do, but I fail every day, many, many, many times. I have come here through brokenness, a trail of pain and broken promises that I've created through my self centeredness, self will and arrogance. For those I've hurt, please forgive me for what I did. Those things that I remember I am truly sorry I did them. I wish I could undo them. I can't. I use these lessons as motivation to be a builder, to take those experiences and hopefully keep someone else out of their own similar experiences. I love my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my strangers, and those the world would like to dismiss as an unfortunate error messing up worldly perfection. I get frustrated with all of the above too, for I am broken, not like God. Lord, give me your wisdom, your patience, and knowledge of your will for me and the strength to carry that out in all I do. I believe we have work to do while we are here and need to be actively engaged in allowing God to work through us. A Christian is someone who does what The Father, Son and Holy Spirit calls them to do, a builder not a taker, a conduit not a pinnacle, humble and serving. Micah 6:8 Matthew 25:31-46
