Wisdom and Sense that's NOT so common..

King Solomon was the main contributor towards the books of Proverbs. Accurately known as the wisest man to ever live, GOD tells HIM in 1 Kings 3 "...Because thou has asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; nor riches or the lives of your enemies; but has asked for understanding and to discern judgment; Behold I have done according to thy words: I have given thee a wise and understanding heart. So that there was none like you before and neither shall any arise after thee."


But it gets better! Because of Solomon's prayer that requested wisdom only,  GOD also blessed him with riches and honor. King Solomon was further instructed that if He obeyed GOD's laws and commands, HE would "lengthen his days."

**Is this not just like Ephesians 3:20 where Paul references GOD's prayer answering tendencies as: "...unto Him that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above that we ask or think..."?**

These are Words of Wisdom from Proverbs Chapter 19:

8. He that gets wisdom loves his own soul: he that keeps understanding shall find good.

9. A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaks lies shall perish.

11. The discretion of a man defers his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

15. Slothfulness (Laziness) casts into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

17. He that has pity upon the poor lends unto the Lord; and that which he has given will he pay him again.


These are some powerful instructions here! We know that false witnesses are liars - those that refuse to tell the truth. The WORD says they will not go unpunished and a person who speaks lies will perish. GOD is merciful but HIS laws are commands are real. What HE says is final. Lazy people who waste time and are not productive in their lives any way will be casts into a deep sleep or what I refer to as spiritual darkness. And all those who consider the poor and give of their time and resources - GOD sees. Not only can HE see, HE says that you've paid HIM and HE will pay you again.

My favorite proverb in chapter 19 is verse 28: "...reprove one that has understanding and he will understand knowledge." A wise person can accept criticism and apply it to their lives as an improvement; it is knowledge NOT a put-down. If you aspire to be wise, seek the LORD with your whole heart and read the book of Proverbs.

The Names Of God in The Old Testament

God as we know Him has always been and always will be. He has no beginning and no end. His wisdom is shown throughout the cosmos and our home, planet Earth.  When Moses was called by God to go deliver the children of Israel, he asked God who should He say sent him?  God replied, "I AM." He further explained that He was " I AM that I AM." Seems kind of weird for a name, right? After the Israelites were delivered, they wandered in the wilderness for 40 years. During this time, I AM revealed who He was by what He did.  God revealed who He was by what He did.  If you feel lost, confused, or struggle with unbelief, please use this as a reference. Call on The Lord and watch Him show up. He knows your heart, so you don't have to be fancy with your words or know what to say - simply call out to I AM and watch Him become what you need! Keep pressing. Your labor is not in vain. 

The Real Meaning of The Rainbow is in The Bible

After the monumental decision by the Supreme Court to allow same-sex couples to marry, I knew it was yet another inch closer to the days Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24, and His imminent return. Let me first say that this post will not attempt to sway you in your views about the Supreme Courts ruling. It would be a waste of time as those who belong to God know and understand the sanctity of marriage and how it originated already. I want to discuss the rainbow and its true meaning. The rainbow is one of those wonders that God created in the Earth that not only reminds us of Him, but also reminds Him of us. The true meaning of the rainbow comes from the Bible. Genesis 9:13 says: I set My bow [rainbow] in the cloud, and it shall be a token  or  sign of a covenant  or  solemn pledge between Me and the earth. (Amplified version)

Who is the LORD? Yahweh. I AM. Jehovah.

May our eyes see, our ears hear and our hearts receive the Word of the LORD. We must return to Our Creator before His Son Jesus Christ returns. The time is shorter than when we first heard of His return more than 2  millennia ago. He does not want any person to perish or be eternally separated from Him, but all who ignore His call to return and all who mock Him will surely see that His Word cannot lie! He will be a refuge to those who choose Him, and a terror to those who reject His salvation. He is a firm foundation for those who trust in Him, but a rock of offense to those who refuse.  As nations have come and gone, so will all of us in the earth, but our souls will live on forever. How we respond to His call will determine if we are eternally with Him, or eternally separated.  Come to the LORD  while there is still time. Since He created time, we cannot control it, so make your salvation sure today! Creator. GOD. King of kings. LORD of lords. For by Him all things...
