Panic and wisdom….
I have to admit, I got some news in the last week or so, that my first reaction was to panic for a short period of time…I don’t like going into that mode, I want to remain calm, stable, focused….and maybe I am alone on this, but I don’t all the time…then I want to fix it the problem, quickly, know the answers quickly and move on…but, this news is not fixable, nor is it world shattering…but I just need to wait, to listen and be wise…I need that armor that Paul speaks of…I need that wisdom that comes from above…I need that peace that passes all understanding…I need to wait in calmness knowing that God is in control …I need to stand firm in the lessons that God is teaching in His truth…be alert to doubt… be faithful….
Thank YOU …..
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.
With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
Eph.6.10-18
“To God belong wisdom and power;counsel and understanding are his.
Job.12.13
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;all who follow his precepts have good understanding.To him belongs eternal praise.
Ps.111.10
For the Lord gives wisdom;from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
Prov.2.6
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
Prov.9.10
Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments,and his paths beyond tracing out!
“Who has known the mind of the Lord?Or who has been his counselor?” “Who has ever given to God,that God should repay them?”
For from him and through him and for him are all things.
To him be the glory forever! Amen.
Rom.11.33-36
Who is wise and understanding among you?
Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.
But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.
Jas.3.13,Jas.3.17-18
Great is thy faithfulness…
