Wise

Being a Christian doesn’t make time go any slower. God, through the psalmist, exhorts us to “remember how short [our] time is!” (Psalm 89:47). But we live life under the sun with an over-the-sun perspective. Each moment is a gift from God to be used to honor him.

Solomon did not oppose doing things that count. He wasn’t against inventions, creativity, and people trying to make a difference. But Solomon is a realist. Whether you invest your time in work that is significant or whether you squander your days, the wise man and the fool are soon forgotten. After you die, your name is mentioned less and less.

Proverbs is the best parenting book ever written. But it’s not just for parents. This book is the Bible’s one-stop shop offering everyday wisdom for everyday life.

When we set our hearts on seeing Jesus, nothing will hold us back.

They brought their best to him. They sought Jesus and didn’t stop until they found him. They worshiped him. This is the heart of the magi story. And…this should be the heart of our Christmas story as well.

Would you expect anything less when God took on flesh and lived among us?

The solid foundation belongs to those who hear the words of Scripture and put them into practice.

God alone satisfies us with his presence and fills our hearts with joy.

Be careful with whom you consult, and weigh carefully what they say. A leader’s decisions impact lives.
