Wisdom: From the Darkness

From the Darkness

Holy God, faithful one, redeemer and Father, hold on to me in my darkness. Show me the narrow trail, your way, to eternal light and peace. Guide my steps and let me walk carefully by the direction of your saving grace. Give me a measure of faith, so great that no evil or sadness can prevail over it. Let my sorrow on this earth claim my joy in Heaven. Show me the wisdom of the Ancient of Days. Teach me to bare my cross and give me strength for the day and peace in the night. Let the soft rays of the sun shine upon my face and let me relish in the beauty of your everlasting love. Let me do good in your eyes, let me bless you, that you would look upon me and say she is mine.

1Jn 2:8 At the same time, it is a new commandment that I am writing to you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.

More from Calvin

"My meaning is: we must be persueded not only that as he once formed the world, so he sustains it by his boundless power, governs it by his wisdom, preserves it by his goodness, in particular, rules the human race with justice and judgemant, bears with them in mercy, shields them by his protection; but also that not a particle of light, or wisdom, or justice, or power, or recitude, or genuine truth, will anywhere be found, which does not flow from him, and of which he is not the cause; in this way we must learn to expect and ask all things from him, and thankfully ascribe to him whatever we receive."

Did you know?

In the New Testament a number of passages inicate that all of the Old Testament writings are thought of as Gods words.

2 Ti 3:16
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.

The Greek word used for Scripture in this verse and 51 other times in the New Testament refers to the writings in the Old Testament. The Apostle Paul says in this verse that the Old Testament writings are "God Breathed" or spoken by God. It is Gods word in written form.

About Wisdom

By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches. Pro 24:3-4

The Call of Wisdom

Pro 1:20-33 ESV

Wisdom cries aloud in the street, in the markets she raises her voice; at the head of the noisy streets she cries out; at the entrance of the city gates she speaks: "How long O simple ones, will you love being simple? How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing and fools hate knowledge? If you turn at my reproof behold, I will pour out my spirit to you; I will make my words known to you. Because I have called and you refused to listen, have stretched out my hand and no one has heeded, because you have ignored all my counsel and would have none of my reproof, I also will laugh at your calamity; I wll mock when terror strikes you, when terror srikes you like a storm and your clamity comes like a whirlwind, when destress and anguish come upon you. Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but will not find me. Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the Lord, would have none of my counsel and despised all my reproof, therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way, and have their fill of their own devices. For the simple are killed by their turning away and the complacency of fools destroys them; but whoever listens to me will dwell secure and will be at ease, without dread of disaster."

What is a Christian?

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14: 6 ESV

Christians don't choose to follow a religion, or even a God. It is God that chose a people to belong to him. The decision is God's because he is GOD. Christians know only one God who is the Father, the Holy Spirit and the man Jesus Christ. They know only one word of God, the "Holy Bible" and they read and study his Word because it is from GOD. The word of God tells them that God the man, Jesus Christ lived and died to save the people who belong to HIM. If he wanted to save all people he would because he is GOD. Christians live their lives through the Word of God. You see just believing in God and Jesus, or saying a prayer does not make you a Christian. Satan believes there is a God. He tempted God the man, Jesus Christ. The demons feared Him. You cannot make yourself a Christian, only God can do that because he is GOD. People, the one and only way to get to Heaven is for God to crush your heart of stone and give you the faith you need to believe from your heart and soul and mind that God the man, Jesus Christ died to save your unworthy soul. Christians know who they are in Christ. They live their lives accordingly. If you don't know who you are in Christ you're not a Christian and nothing, I mean nothing else matters. Read His Word, take time, as much as you need. Ponder His wisdom, let it sink in to your soul. If you are Christian God will let you see and believe. Christians can be concerned about world events but in the end they know that it is ALL in God's hands, because he is GOD. His will be done. In the end Christians know...The Christians and only the Christians win!!!!!
