WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE AND JOY

” GOD GIVES WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE AND JOY TO THOSE WHO PLEASE HIM.” ECCLESIASTES 2:26

Just how do we please the Lord our God in heaven? Do we have to present ourselves as mighty and strong? Must we be secure in ourselves in all that we do? Must we be successful and powerful in all that we do? Do we have to be the best at everything and without failure in anything? Our Lord God is very clear in his direction for a successful life. We must be humble, trusting, fearless in the Lord, without worry, without fear and without doubt. We must live within the ways of the Lord our God. We must please the Lord in the way we live. We must be focusing on our Lord. We must continue to build upon our faith in him and be strong in Jesus. We must be attentive to the Holy Spirit and follow his instructions. We must never take our eyes off of Jesus and his ways. If we are living our lives outside of God’s will, we will reflect lives of worry doubt and fear. We will reflect lives that produce confusion and unfaithfulness. Our lives will be surrounded with disarray and constant anxieties. However, if we are keeping our focus on Jesus and living our lives within his will then doubt, worry and fear will flee. They will be replaced by God’s wisdom, knowledge and joy. Anxieties will be no longer be lingering in our lives. Our faith will allow us to trust our Lord in all situations. The Lord wants to bless each of us. We must, however, allow him to do so. We must stay focused and not stray from his word. We must pray consistently and meditate on his word day and night. He must be first in our lives. We must always keep our eyes on Jesus! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
