Wisdom And Length Of Days

Meditate On


Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gains understanding…Length of days is in her right hand, in her left hand riches and honor.

Proverbs 3:13, 16

The Bible tells us that Jesus is our wisdom (1 Corinthians 1:30). And because we have Jesus as our wisdom, we can be blessed with the two hands of wisdom. This means that riches and honor, as well as length of days, belong to us!

Beloved, pursue Jesus as your wisdom and you will experience good success in every area of your life. For example, if you are a business owner, depend on the Lord for His wisdom. Trust that the Lord will bless you with the wisdom from heaven to come up with moneymaking or money-saving ideas.

When you pursue Jesus as your wisdom and walk in His wisdom, you will also enjoy length of days. Your life will not be cut short due to foolish or wrong decisions. His wisdom will preserve you and cause you to live a long and fulfilling life!



Blessings,

Joseph Prince

But let the righteous be joyful

Let God rise up, let his enemies be scattered; let those who hate him flee before him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melts before the fire, let the wicked perish before God. But let the righteous be joyful; let them exult before God; let them be jubilant with joy.

Psalm 68 ; 1-4 God gives the desolate a home to live in Father of orphans and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation. God gives the desolate a home to live in; he leads out the prisoners to prosperity, but the rebellious live in a parched land. Psalm 68: 5-6 The earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain O God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness, Selah the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain at the presence of God, the God of Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

Depend On God’s Unmerited Favor, Not Favoritism

Meditate On And the patriarchs, becoming envious, sold Joseph into Egypt. But God was with him and delivered him out of all his troubles, and gave him favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house. Acts 7:9–10 There is a significant difference between God’s unmerited favor and favoritism . God’s unmerited favor is based entirely on Jesus’ merit, and we received it through His finished work at the cross. We did nothing to deserve His favor. It is completely unmerited. Favoritism, however, stinks of self-effort. Individuals who rely on favoritism for promotion resort to apple-polishing, office politics, manipulative tactics, backstabbing and all kinds of compromises just to get what they want. God has a higher and better way for you. It hurts Him to see His precious children groveling like sycophants just to get ahead in life. If a door closes, so be it! Believe with full confidence
