Journey through the bible

The starting point of wisdom is standing in awe of the Almighty God.

God is not silent. He has not forgotten you. Be still and listen. Hear His whispers. Hear Him speaking. Hear Him shouting how much He loves you even in your pain. Hold on! Don’t give up! He’s coming to your rescue.

That’s what happens when wealth is our security. We start believing in the god of money and begin the long slippery slide to the bottom of the slope.

Don’t deny the temptation. Take steps, like Job, to live obediently.

Right now what you are going through makes no sense. Remember, wisdom does not mean that I know all the answers; it means I know the One who does . . . and I submit myself to Him.

The sovereign Creator has chosen you and me to benefit Him in eternal work! If that doesn’t get you excited, check your spiritual pulse!

This life is short. The believer, regardless of earthly suffering, will spend eternity in heaven. The wicked, regardless of earthly “prosperity,” will spend eternity in hell.

This passage gives tremendous encouragement to us in facing death. Our Redeemer lives! We have confidence that He will deliver us safely home.

Don’t give up hope. Keep the desires of your heart ignited. Don’t let shattered plans become abandoned plans. It’s the desire to keep pushing forward, to keep hoping, to keep trusting that turns night into day and reminds us that light is near.
