Words of Wisdom Wednesday

Proverbs 3:16-18 KJV 

16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. 17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. 18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

Most people want to live the "American Dream". They spend their lives trying to figure out how to achieve it when the way to do it is found right here.

Wisdom (her) will help you live a long life. It will help you gain riches and honour. You will be happy following her ways and shall lead a peaceful life.

Now, how do we get this wisdom? Look back at Proverbs 2:6, "For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding." Seek the Lord, His Words, and His Ways and you will gain wisdom.

Robinson Curriculum

I have posted before about how we use the Robinson Curriculum as the base for our home education. Here is the link to the first part of a series about the Robinson Curriculum. If you are looking for a curriculum to use or maybe you think it might be time for a change, check it out!

Words of Wisdom Wednesday

Proverbs 2:10-12 KJV

10 When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; 11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: 12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;

It isn't until we seek the Lord and the wisdom that only comes from Him (Proverbs 2:6, For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.) that we will reap the benefits. We must desire wisdom, knowledge, and understanding and make it a part of our life and hide it in our hearts before we can be preserved. Following His commands will keep us from falling in line with the evil one.

God's Timing is Perfect

John 15:5

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

"for without me, ye can do nothing"

This I know, yet I often find myself trying to do things on my own, in my own strength. Why am I so stubborn?

I have had many questions lately and although I would go to God in prayer seeking the answers, I was still spending many hours a day trying to figure out the answers myself. What a waste of time!

I now realize that what I should have been doing is spending more time with Him in study, prayer, and just being still so I could hear Him. It's ironic that I thought I didn't have the time because I was spending my time trying to figure it out on my own.

Give Him your time and He will work out the details!

Words of Wisdom Wednesday

Proverbs 1:33

But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

If we listen to and follow God's commands, we do not need to fear evil. God takes care of His children and blesses those who are obedient to His Words.
