Do our Ears Listen?
Proverbs: Chapter 18 verse 15
The heart of the discerning
acquires knowledge;
the ears of the wise seek it out.
*
Dear God I pray today that we may have a more discerning heart,
a heart that yearns for knowledge of you God.
Let our ears listen to your voice
and may we be wiser today
than yesterday to seek your ways. Amen.

How about that then? We all do have EARS but do we actually use them as they should be used? I mean do we really listen when someone is talking to us or do their words go in one ear and straight out the other?
Ears are meant for us to LISTEN – if we listen properly we may even learn something that we had not known before, that means that hopefully we may be a bit wiser than we were yesterday.
As Christians we are supposed to LISTEN to God our Heavenly Father but how many times do we take time to sit and pray? Apart from talking to Him with all our wants and maybe complaints about the situation that we are in at the time do we then wait and hear what He would like to say to us? Well no we don’t – mostly when we do pray we then get up and have a cuppa and start with what ever we want to do for the day.
This is where we need a discerning HEART to listen to God during our Prayer Time. He is always there, He never sleeps and The Holy Spirit who is in us will help us with our Prayers.
Remember Jesus LOVES us and would like us to have more Knowledge, Wisdom and Discernment but the only way is to read the Holy Bible, even just a bit each day is sometimes enough to learn something else. Then it is good to share with our Christian friends any new thing that we understand that we did not know before.
With the Knowledge and Wisdom that we have learnt
we can then share some of it with Children or young people.

Have a Lovely Day.
May God our Heavenly Father Bless us
today as we gain more
Wisdom and Knowledge in our daily lives.
Grace and Knowledge
2 Peter: Chapter 3 verse 18
But grow in the grace
and knowledge
of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
To Him be Glory both now and forever.
Amen.
Isn’t it lovely to think that we can grow in the grace and the knowledge of our Lord Jesus. Today as we learn and read more about Him let us ask God Our Father to allow us more grace to really know His Son Jesus, our Saviour, more and more. Amen.
From the Book: ‘Drink from the Cup’ by J.M.R.Larman.

I wonder if we have grace and knowledge – how are we using it?
*****
The Lord has given us knowledge – however it is good for us to try and increase that knowledge day by day. We can do that by learning something new i.e. a new craft or by reading we can really expand our knowledge.
It is good to have a vision or a dream of something that we would like to do –
so we will need knowledge to bring that to fruition.
As for Grace – well we need grace to have patience with our family and friends.
We need to have Grace that only The Lord can give us as we continue to live in this world with Peace and Love that we have when we walk with Jesus day by day.
With Grace and Knowledge we can give Glory to God our Heavenly Father for all the Blessings that he gives us day by day.
Even if there is only one small thing in your day today that you are happy and content with –
that is a small start to be thankful for.
*God Bless You Today with the Grace and Love of Jesus*

Knowledge
Proverbs: Chapter 1 verse 7
The fear of The LORD is the beginning
of knowledge
but fools despise wisdom
and instruction.
*
I think I shall ask The LORD for more knowledge and wisdom today. I do not want to be a fool. I pray that I do have the fear of The LORD and I certainly do not despise wisdom and knowledge. For my part I know that I do love wisdom and knowledge.
I do know that I definitely need more!
Thank you LORD God that you continue to fill me afresh each day.
Also with the knowledge and love of Jesus.

Well then what are we waiting for, just think we are priviliged to be able to ask God our Heavenly Father for more knowledge and wisdom.
Then of course we are to use it to the best of the ability that God gives us.
A good thing to ask for as well is discernment……so that we can discern what we are about to do at any particular time in our livcs. Day by day we need help with the decisions that we are to make in our every day living. We live only by the grace of God. As we said last time our God is an Awesome God. Just to think He alone gives us the knowlege and wisdom that we need to live our everyday lives here on this earth.
What a privelidge it is to belong to the one true Living God who is our Heavenly Father.
I pray that you recieve ‘The Peace of The Lord” today in your heart, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Especially if you are a Christian living with The Holy Spirit dwelling in you where ever you are at the moment.
Have a lovely Day
– * God Bless You * –

Fear of The Lord
Proverbs: Chapter 1 verse 7
The fear of The LORD
is the beginning of knowledge
but
fools despise wisdom
and
instruction.

So let us just think where are we really going to get this knowledge and wisdom from……well I think it does help to read our Bible because it has been written for our learning. Therefore if we decide not to read, then we are limiting our brains to absorb knowledge and wisdom from the Apostles and followers of Jesus that are written about in the most Holy Book.
Lots of them were not clever people but with the account of their lives we can learn from their mistakes. (Hopefully we can!)
So where does the FEAR come from then?
You see we are not to be afraid of our God because He is the God of Love. Our only fear is to be that we really don’t acknowledge Him as we should and that we don’t always walk in the knowledge that He is our Heavenly Father and He Loves us even more than our earthly fathers love us.
We do fear being chastised by our earthly fathers and need to realize that our Heavenly Father does chastise us too.
So that FEAR OF THE LORD
is that we DO NOT need to be
FRIGHTENED OF THE LORD OUR GOD.
*****
I hope you have a lovely day walking in the Love and Knowledge, Wisdom and Joy of our Lord Jesus Christ and God our Heavenly Father.
