How to Become
Wise
Ecclesiastes 8:1
8:1
Who is like the wise man?
Who knows the explanation
of things?
Wisdom brightens a man's
face
- and changes its hard
appearance.
This
is the Word of the Lord ... It is meant to change
the way we think, and the way we live.
Commentary
by Bob Pardue
The Art of
Becoming Wise
How Wise are
You?
Do you consider yourself a
wise person? Most of us do most of the time. But,
have you ever done things that were not wise
(smart)? We've all done this too!
God Makes Us
Wiser
In this passage for Bible
study we learn that wisdom is acquired when we know
God and consult Him before we make
decisions. When we are able to see life from God's
point of view we will be able to make wiser
decisions in our lives.
I've had many days in my life
where I had a difficult decision to make.
Amazingly, the Bible study lesson I prepared for
this site that very day was relevant to my
situation. God knows exactly what you and I need at
a given time.
Is It Wise to
Pray?
How do we talk to God and
find what choices we should make? Prayer is the
answer. If we ask for God's guidance in decisions
doors will open which will lead us to do His will
in our lives. A footnote is that the decisions God
helps us to make are not always the ones we would
make ourselves but we will be much wiser if we
listen to Him. And remember;
God is never in a hurry
and,
God is never
late.
The Wise Have
Understanding
Trusting and having a
relationship with God will help you and I to have
more understanding and, with understanding, comes
wisdom.
The way to knowing God and
developing that relationship comes through His Son,
Jesus Christ. You can choose to accept
Christ as your
personal Savior and then ask what God wants you to
do. This will not only help you achieve wisdom, but
you receive everlasting life with Him in heaven.
Let's become wise men and women.
Love in Christ
- Bob
If you have never made the
commitment to receive the love and life-changing
experience of Jesus Christ, please take a moment to
read
John 3:16 for more
information.
