This Sunday I am going to share an amazing story of God's grace and providence with our church. I cannot wait to share it because most people have never heard the story and most will not believe it when they do hear it, but it is all true!
As most of you know, my life verse (check out our website at www.c3charleston.com to find out) is one that deals with the subject of wisdom, and that verse will become the backbone of the message this Sunday as James teaches us how to receive wisdom and reject pride. I cannot wait!
Many of us have met people who we would consider to be wise. The definition of it is very different depending on the source from which you quote it. The Bible says that "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." (Prov. 9:10; Psalm 111:10) This fear literally means having a healthy and continual reverence for the Creator of the universe, the Sustainer of the universe, the Provider of grace and the Eternal Father of the Redeemed. "Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty."
Too often, we are thrust away from the throne room of heaven and into our everyday activities of temporal living. Our gaze must remain on the heavenly, the spiritual, the eternal. Once we get in the habit of maintaining that perspective, we approach closer and closer to the realm of true wisdom!
Blessings this week and I look forward to seeing you all Sunday!
