WISDOM

The Bible comes to this conclusion regarding Wisdom:
"Wisdom is to know God and to shun evil"

Know God as you know your wife or friends intimately...

Shun evil - Do not put yourself in a position where you are
vulnerable in that way you avoid (shun) evil.

And all the other joys will be added.....look at Solomon.

FAITH ONE-SIDED

Faith one sided
Question: Can faith be one sided? In other words, let us say someone
is ill and I pray for that person though they have no faith….can they
be healed on the basis of my faith?
I'm reminded about two stories off hand in the Bible, but one that
jumps out at me is the guy that was lowered through the roof of a
house by his mates so that he may be healed by Jesus. Picture this,
Jesus was in the village for some time and must have walked past this
guy a few times. The guy might have given up hope for all we know.
One of his mates might have been in the house while Jesus was talking
and all of a sudden had this bright idea, got some mates together,
picked him up and dropped him through the roof. Because of there
faith he was healed.
Next time someone around you is down and out, pick them up and carry
them on your faith to God.
Let's do what mates should do, be there for each other.

WICKETS, IT'S A BALANCING ACT

Do you have your wickets covered and who is covering it for you in life?
We get so busy and our focus are pulled from one side to the other
and before we know it the area that we thought is okay gets
"wicketed" We have to realise that we can't place our focus on
everything in our life, it's just impossible and you will get worn
out if you try and do so. But in contrary to this I would also like
to add that we can't let our gaurd down in other areas of life just
because we think it's covered. We have to balance life, we have to
learn and know when something in our life is suffering because we
have been neglecting it.
How do I balance my work and family life? How do I balance my
Christian life in this world? How do I balance myself?
Ps.119:9-11
9 How can a young man keep his way pure?
By living according to your word.
10 I seek you with all my heart;
do not let me stray from your commands.
11 I have hidden your word in my heart
that I might not sin against you.

I have to search for the heart of the Father, in doing this I will
know what needs to be balanced and what I just plain simple need to
drop.
