WISDOM.... OUR KISS FROM GOD

The fear of the LORD teaches a man wisdom, 

and humility comes before honor.

Proverbs 15:33

Good morning all,

Three words in this scripture stand out to me.  Three important words:  fear, humility and honor.

In my mind this scripture tells me that if I respect (with reverent fear) my Lord…

if I allow my Father to be control (take control, have control) of my life with an open heart to receive His miracles and blessings….brings me to humility.  To purposely be humble, lowly, allowing once again, to let God have all of me, and be in charge of all of me, not allowing myself to have a pinch of say (because God’s say is all I need)…. brings me spiritual blessing heaped upon spiritual blessing, grace upon grace, favor heaped upon favor…   God, our Father, is very generous!  

However,  PRIDE will wash out all the blessing God has for a man with prideful heart.  A Prideful man is a man who is hard hearted, hard headed when it comes to the things of God.  They refuse Him, they reject Him, and bring to Him an offering of NOTHING-ness.  Yet, God still loves this man, but you’d think that God wouldn’t help a man who doesn’t want Him…yet He does.  He rains on the just and unjust.  God can’t help Himself, He is a God of LOVE>  He patiently waits…. He doesn’t want this man to be lost…

If this man would only realize this reverent fear for His Maker, His Heavenly Father.  If this man would only throw out the Pride, and open up his heart.  If this man would only lay low his heart, and surrender to allow Honor to come…

This is why I talk to the atheist- the unbeliever- with God’s permission, I try to reach these types.  They are belligerent, rude, atrociously disrespectful to our Father, yet they are a lost soul in the eyes of God.  Some (Christians) give up on them, fight with them, react to their disrespect unfortunately with disrespect.  But God wants us to be encouragers, light, a way for them to reach God.  This is God’s purpose, SALVATION!

How do we do this?  With the help of the Holy Spirit.  Let Him guide you in all truth, it is His job!  Let Him lead with Wisdom, and teach you Wisdom along the way.  It is our job to be humble to God, the Son and, Holy Spirit, with reverent fear (the beginning of Wisdom) into humility…quietness… into LOVE, His love… to let it shine out you!  To let the Jesus in you be light in this dark world… 

For some of these atheists all they have is an old match stick light (and it’s) ready to go out.  If God sends you to them, you need to be MORE THAN THAT for them.  The the Word who is a lamp unto our feet and light to our path- - allow that word to minister through your words, allow the Holy Spirit to take over.  YOU step back!  

I tell others who compliment the word or messages that come out of my fingertips that I am a mere secretary; God’s secretary!  I just sit here and allow God to minister through my heart into my fingertips and out to the reader.  Sometimes I just cry at what God has to say.  Always, I am astounded!  In the end, without fail, I say the same thing: It’s all God, and to His glory these things happen through my fingers!

If I allow God to have ALL OF ME, He works mightily through me.  And, He can do the same thing, miracle after miracle for you too….  Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up!  And when God lifts you up…. ah, the beauty of God, and God’s smile….  blessings… yes, blessings!  miracles… upon miracles…  prayers answered, the lost won- - salvation….  healings….yes, all of this has happened with prayer, answered prayer!  God calls it HONOR!  It is our reward, our Kiss from God…

God, our Heavenly Father, honors His word!

So today Lord, we take this scripture and ask You to help us!  Help us to first ask you to forgive us the sin which easily besets us.  Forgive us our sin, and free us up.  We ask to come into Your throne room boldly.  We love You, and respect that YOU are God, Lord of all.  Abba, I delight in You, and thank you for Your Son, Jesus.  

Jesus, please help us as we humble ourselves in your sight.  We choose to be humble and respectful, full of Your Love, guide us in your Truth, and teach us.  For YOU are God our Savior and our hope is in You, all the day long!  Help us to help others along the way, Lord.  Honor us with YOU, all the essence of You, as we honor You, Abba.

YOU are our reward, Abba, thank you!

Let this message resonate.  Please let this little scripture minister to others as they read and chew and meditate on Your Word.  As they do, send Your Word as you said in Isaiah 55, send it and bless it, and prosper it, and Abba, allow it to accomplish ALL you want.  In Jesus name I pray, to believe to receive to have.  Amen Jesus!  Amen!
