Wisdom Brings Your Great Hope!
(Editor's note: Hope, when referred to in the Word of GOD means something drastically different from the common language usage. It is a courageous, committed and consistent certainty that what has been Promised by CREATOR will indeed come to pass in our personal walk with HIM!
Proverbs
24:14 Proverbs 24 Proverbs 24:13-15
Know
also that wisdom is sweet to your soul; if you find it,
there is a future hope
for you, and your hope will not be cut off
Wisdom - What is it? Well, first I believe it comes when we decide two things:
1. The Word of CREATOR (the Bible) is completely true.
2. I want to follow the Word of CREATOR.
So, what we do is we decide the above, then we must read the above (HIS Word). If you have difficulty reading the Bible, then one of two things must happen.
1. Ask the HOLY SPIRIT to open the Word to you. Don't bite off more than you can chew, but let HIM direct you to passages that are important at this very moment to your life. By the way, everyone that considers himself a Follower of JESUS should read the Bible cover-to-cover sometime. Slow or fast reading doesn't matter. Consistent reading is important. You can do it. Be patient. Be consistent. Daily reading as you can will get you through the Word in one to three years.
2. Get a version that will be readable for you. The King James is good but very difficult for many. Go to a Bible store and see what there is. Stick with a translation rather than an interpretation. A study Bible can be good as it will explain passages in context of the times and historical content in which it was written.
So then we live our life, and as we learn HIS Word, we begin to live it wisely. That means that we do better, make better choices and live a better life. The operative word is better! Wisdom makes things better! Find it and you will find Hope and a Future!
