Although ambitions exist to grasp knowledge, with some who strive to accumulate learning, and many that compete to store up wisdom, the possession of all this held in esteem is worthless especially if there is no acknowledgment of what God has done to give the ability to understand in the first place. What we know should very well be centered on God. In every part of our life, we should use what we know to bless others and glorfy God (Who is the epitome of wisdom if the first place)! Jesus is our ideal example to live by; in that Way of life, we will hold true in faithfulness to His Word. When we are deeply rooted in the faith, with a determined focus upon His promises, the peace we have inside will radiate the love of Him in such attraction that others will be drawn to accept the salvation that is extended in Jesus. It is mandatory that we place all trust in God and not the formalities that conform to the fleshly matters of this life. No efforts are to be congruous to the worlds relationships; for, in this world all knowledge, strength, and resources are placed on a level of mindset that promotes human achievements which expect special recognition and aimed toward position of accomplished. Sadly, even what is geared toward care for one another becomes a fixed notion which desires attention; also, it is done in attraction to self efforts rather than thankfulness of how God provided with the capability to give in the way that He would desire of us. We should give in a benevolent spirit, showing the genuine kindness that denotes the Christian lifestyle. If our attention is fixed upon the truth of God’s Word, we will certainly acknowledge with the sincerity of heart and humility of mind that we alone could not accomplish any feat that is noteworthy to mention; for, in God we should stand strong together and that in thankfulness of how He uses us to bring glory to His Name! We would do well to remember that all of our strength is derived in the fact that God uses us to put forth His mighty Word! We are to “…worship Him in spirit and in truth.” (John 4:24) Standing strong in the cause of the Lord Jesus Christ, realizing that support in Him is the very foundation He gave us in Jesus, and the maturity of knowledge that we consider to be the best to live by and trust in is the best understanding to have. And with all this agreement, take the time to watch with an attentive mind and receptive heart, “Excellent Knowledge In Jesus”. LaNora G. Means Continue
