It is a lack of wisdom that drives strife. It is a lack of wisdom that foments resentment. It is a lack of wisdom that causes us to focus on finishing each other and not creating prosperity. It is a lack of wisdom that makes us think that fighting each other will bring ultimate peace, it never does. It is a lack of wisdom that makes us entertain gossip and then develop hatred against those we have been told about. It takes wisdom to be at peace!
What problem is rising again in your studies at school? What problem is rising again in your spiritual life? What trouble is rising again in your relationships? What trouble is rising again in your finances? What trouble is rising again in your health? Whatever it is, pray again and take a new approach that is approved by God. Not all approaches are approved by God. Pray again about the trouble. Use a different God-approved method to solve it. Do this when trouble rises again, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
After all that pride and arrogance they were simply defeated in a manner that there is nothing to record except David’s success. After all that chest-thumping, they did not give any challenge to David for the Bible to record or for military scientists to study. They were just defeated. The Jebusites failed the day they underestimated David. Please avoid the commonly repeated Jebusite error of underestimating your enemy!
For your own good, go the extra mile with your family. Go the extra mile at work. Go the extra mile in your business. Go the extra mile in your devotion to God. May that extra mile yield the best unforgettable results, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
We have the mighty and the weak in the family. We have the mighty and the weak in the neighborhood. We have the mighty and the weak in the country. We have the mighty and the weak in government. We have the mighty and the weak at the workplace. We have the mighty and the weak everywhere. God chooses to identify with the weak always. By helping the weak we are helping God. They did not come to help the LORD against the mighty!
When we come to God in prayer with options, we think those are all the options, but before God, those are not all the options. There are many more options before God that we know nothing about. When we face exams we tell God we are facing success or failure. Those are all the options before you as a human being. All your options are not all the options!
Your life may be threatened. Your career may be threatened. Your reputation may be threatened. Your income and its sources such as business and salary may be threatened. Your relationships with other people may be threatened. Your peace of mind may be at stake. Your job and career progression may be at stake. How do you deal with such an imminent threat?
When people speak harshly to you. When people demean you. When people castigate you. When people hurt you with words. God has a message for you today. I have heard what these people said to you!
Jealousy and suspicion are commonplace in relationships such as marriage and courtship. It is also common in the workplace between workers. It is also common in business among partners. It is also common among relatives and friends. It is also common among neighbors. Should we address feelings of jealousy and suspicion in relationships?
