Verses 24 through 28 talk about samll things which are wise: ants, coneys, locusts and lizards. All wisdom, as we have found out through our readings the past few months, comes from God. Oh sure, you can become wise by do things, even making mistakes, but that knowledge, that wisdom is given to you by God. If He didn't want you to gain wisdom, you wouldn't. There are plenty of unwise 'fools' on this planet. Unwise about managing money. Unwise about spousal treatment. Unwise about being a father or mother. Unwise about controlling one's own greed, and lust, and anger, and other similar sins. Yes, there are plenty of unwise people in this world. Are you unwise? Probably. As we all are. We are not wise in a lot of matters; however, we can become that way by doing just three things: praying, reading God's Word and studying God's Word. Wisdom comes from above, not as a gift, but as a reward for our efforts in trying to obtain it. How much wisdom are YOU going to try to seek today? Reply to this

Prov.30 What a beautiful day the LORD has created.Saying of Agur.I have not heard of him before.So I did a little research.All I could find was that Agur was a wise teacher who may have come from Lemuels kingdom.Verse 5 is going to be my memory verse today,"every word of GOD is flawless,he is a shield to those who take refuge in him".Amen brothers.I had to reread verses 15 - 30 a couple of times before I could understand it.I think he is saying sarted with 3 things and then he goes to four in his statements.I think he thought the list was incomplete and needed more.I think sometimes we think that just going to church is enough.Its not trust me I know from experience.We need to be obedeint in everything we do.Do not settle for anything less,because GOD want. I wanted to share something from the gospel of Mathew Ch.7:25-34.Don"t worry about the things tha GOD promise you with everything you need,but on his time.I can testify to that.I want to live by verse 33"But seek first his kingdom and his rightousness and all these things will be given to you" {obedience{I pray that we as brothers continue to seek his kingdom first,and watch his mighty power transform our lives..
