Secret and Hidden Wisdom

This week’s Bible Reading: 1 Corinthians 2: 6-7 Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. - Christian maturity has to do with growth of the individual - Individual growth happens over time - Time holds the secret and hidden wisdom of God - Therefore, we need to take time to grow into the things of God Prayer: Lord please grant me the patience and fortitude to grow into Your everlasting wisdom. May it feed my everyday living and interaction with others. Amen.

Wait on the Lord

This week’s Bible verse: Hebrews 6:13-15 When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself, saying, "I will surely bless you and give you many descendants."

Please help me to be patient as I wait on You. Amen

Going It Alone

This week’s Bible verse: : Isaiah 17:10 'You have forgotten God your Saviour; you have not remembered the Rock, your fortress.' - Sometimes we think we can just do it alone. - We think we have enough strength within ourselves to handle things. - But soon we discover that we are destitute without God. - The Bible tells us that we should ‘remember our creator’!
