Tune
in First
Daily I enjoy the bits of humor, the quotes, and things
written to encourage a person that I receive on the internet. But I ponder over
them and I often question their sources, as well as their truthfulness.
When I shared my concerns over these quotes in a mixed
crowd of people recently, I was heard a great question from one person in the
crowd, “Where then can we really find the truth and real wisdom these days? It’s
all too confusing.”
“Wisdom is more
valuable than gold and crystal….But do people know where to find wisdom? Where
can they find understanding? ….God alone understands the way to wisdom; he
knows where it can be found…And this is what he says to all humanity; ‘The fear
of the LORD is true wisdom; to forsake evil is real understanding.” Job 28
NLT
To fear the Lord, is the key to wisdom and wisdom can
always be found and trusted in the Word of God. It means to have respect and reverence for God
and to be in awe of His majesty and power, first and foremost.
This truly is
the starting point to finding real wisdom and it’s important, it’s paramount
more and more today that we always take what we hear, read and see back to God. Then
let the His Holy Spirit impart to us through God's Word the wisdom we need to
stand firm in our faith and be true to God.
God is always faithful and He will never fail us when
we come to Him in our need for wisdom, discernment and the strength we need every
day. Before we read the paper, before we check the internet, before we watch
television, let us tune in to God first.
“Do not have your concert first and tune your
instruments afterward. Begin the day with God.”-
J. Hudson Taylor
