Call of Wisdom

God is calling all who will listen

Have you heard from God lately? No? When was the last time you called upon Him? God says in (Jeremiah 33:3) “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” Unlike the way we may treat family or friends; “I’m not calling him or her until they call me first!” WE DON’T TREAT GOD THIS WAY! We don’t wait for God, creator of heaven and earth to get in touch with us before we call on Him. Not if we expect to get the best results for our lives. We are to call upon Him for everything, to include Him in all; I said ALL, our decisions! From the very beginning we were not created for our pleasure but His. He does want us to be in constant communication with Him – including Him in everything we do.

God has called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus, before time began. In (Genesis 1:26) God said to the other two persons of the Holy Trinity (Christ Jesus and His Holy Spirit) “Let us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness…” So, we should understand we were intended to have a direct, perfect relationship with all three from the moment of our creation. Yes, and we know, we failed our Maker in the garden. Mercifully, He provided a way for our redemption though, so we could continue to communicate with Him.

God continues to call to us. Are you listening? Are you seeking Him? From His Word, I am repeating what Jethro, father-in-law to Moses,  said in (Exodus 18:19) “Listen now to my voice; I will give you counsel, and God will be with you.” What I am saying is don’t wait for Him (God) to call upon you…instead, call upon Him.

Always seek God first! (Isaiah 55:6) instructs, “Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near.” When you trust Christ, you trust the God of the entire universe. Speak to God; to Jesus; or the Holy Spirit; They are one and the same person, but speak. On this you can rely – no matter what lies ahead for you, God is sovereign and in control of your life. His wisdom will be your wisdom should you choose to call upon Him, and make Him the most important part of your life!

Our Walk With God

“Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered, when you run, you will not stumble” (Proverbs 4:10-12). Our lives are built upon our first step, and   then proceed step after step after step thereafter. As infants we learn to crawl, then stand and eventually to walk to the waiting hands of our proud fathers and mothers. Our walking skills can develop into running skills; some of us will go on to run races, some will even run long distance marathons, but it all begins first with our desire to walk. The Lord tells us to listen to what He says to us through His Holy Spirit and the years of our lives will be many; as we go through life, our steps will not be hampered; when we hurry through our impossible daily schedules and race through our lives, we will not stumble.   All successful runners have a professional trainer, our trainer is ...

God’s Family

He provides resources for the family “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life. If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).   He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails yo...

GLORIOUS!

"Shout with joy to God, all the earth! Sing the glory of His name; make His praise glorious" (Psalm 66:1,2)! Hallelujah! Praise to our King! See how glorious He is! He is our awesome God! He is our Healer, our Counselor, our Morning Star, our heavenly Father, our Savior and our Redeemer. He is our Lamb of God, He is our Maker, our Sacrifice, our Bridegroom, our Living Water, our Helper, He is our Blessing, our Bread of Life, our Sweet, Sweet Song, He is Abba Father...let us make His praise glorious! He is Yahweh-Jehovah, Jehovah-Elohim, Jehovah-Elyon, El Shaddai, Jehovah-Jireh, He is Jehovah-Tsidqenu, Jehovah- Shamah, and He is Jehovah-Tsebaoth...let us make His praise glorious! What's in a name, and why would we sing the glory of God's name(s)? Often a name provides an important clue to the nature of a person. This is definitely true of God. The Bible refers to God by many different names, each one referring to some aspect of God's character or His relation...
