Words of wisdom, Prov.1:7 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Can’t speak for others, but I do my best to pray this prayer every day. James 1:5 “If any man lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, (generously) and upbraideth not: and it shall be given unto him.”

On the thresh hold of the coming of the Lord, we’d be wise to ask ourselves, what kind of wisdom do I have. Prov.11:30 says “The fruit of the righteous is the tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.” If we believe Jesus is coming any day now, surely, we’d want to examine ourselves to see whether we have the wisdom that comes from above. James 3:13-18 gives us a contrast between the heavenly and the earthly. “Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge amongst you? let him shew out of a good conversation (behavior his works with meekness (humility, gentleness) of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying (jealousy) and strife (selfish ambition) in your hearts, glory (boast not, and lie not against (as a result, be in defiance of) the truth. This wisdom descendeth not (does not come) from above, but is earthly, sensual (unspiritual) devilish. (demonic in nature) For where envying and strife is there is confusion (tumult, disorder) and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, (reasonable) full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. (serve-serving, guile) And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.”

My prayer today is that I don’t become your enemy as Paul says because I tell you the truth. There must be a death to self. Prov.13:10 “Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised (well advised counsel) is wisdom.” My prayer today is that you will ask yourself, whether pride is involved or whether you are honestly contending for the truth. Jesus is coming and1Pet.4:17-18 says “And the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely (means with difficulty) be saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear?”

You can believe what you want, but Jesus says Matt.7:21 “Not every one that saith unto me. Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.”
Saying and doing is two worlds apart. Oh, that I will be found as that Matt.24:45-46 “faithful and wise servant… (that) …when he (his Lord) cometh (in the morning, or noon in the evening or midnight) shall find so doing.”

On the thresh hold of the rapture, what kind of wisdom are you demonstrating, the earthly or the heavenly, only you can answer that question. Maranatha!!!!!
