Boyd Bailey: Rich Provision…

“Wisdom has built her house; she has hewn out its seven pillars. She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine; she has also set her table.” Proverbs 9:1-2

Wisdom is the pathway to God’s rich provision. His Holy Spirit allows you to see the common with uncommon eyes, and thus come up with creative alternatives. Wisdom is the Lord’s way of preparing for you plenty of resources and relationships to further His will. He is not slack in sending forth His Holy Spirit for discernment of people and insights into our situations. Therefore, ask the Lord for understanding in what to do, and what not to do. When God gives you the ‘green light’, then go forward by faith knowing He will provide. He has prepared a place for you, not only in heaven, but also on earth. Wisdom’s preparations are plentiful and pretty. So be patient, do the next wise thing and watch God work in ways you never imagined. Wisdom is at work on behalf of your work.

Maybe He is calling you to worship and community with different followers of Christ? A church built on the foundation of God’s wisdom is the best preparation for your faith and family. Yes, you are best fed in a family of faith where the Word of God is given full attention and examination. Like the Bereans in the early church you are encouraged to ask bold questions related to the meaning of Scripture. The church is God’s house for prayer, and the proclamation of His principles for the gaining of wisdom to live life. Therefore, gather wisdom every chance you get and you will become rich indeed: rich in relationships, rich in character, rich in a robust relationship with Jesus, and maybe rich in stuff. Wisdom is at work on your behalf, so tap into its rich provision. The Bible says, “For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God” (Hebrews 3:4).

My thoughts!
WISDOM! This is a reoccurring word for me this week! I wonder what GOD is trying to tell me?
