Wisdom....

Wisdom...
How much wisdom do you have? How much wisdom do you display in your every day life? The decisions you make...great or small... how you handle things? I believe it is so important to have good wisdom. So important that God wants us to ask Him for it, desire it, seek it out! God told Solomon to ask for anything he wanted and God would give it to him. (2 Chronicles 1: 7-12) What did Solomon ask for? Wisdom! This pleased God so much that He not only gave him awesome wisdom, but He also gave him great wealth, possessions, and honor! Sometimes, we get that backwards. We want wealth first because we like having money. We like to be able to buy what we want. We want possessions because we like to impress others. We want to look like we have it all. (Have you ever tried to buy a present for someone who seems to have everything? It's not fun.) We want honor because we like to recognized, acknowledged, know that we're important. But we need wisdom more than any of these! Because if we have wisdom, we will be wise in how we handle our money, how we use our money. (And there have been times David and I needed more wisdom on this..believe me.) If we have wisdom, we won't feel like we need all those possessions. We won't feel like we need to impress people. If we have wisdom, we won't feel like we need to be recognized for what we did, or for helping someone, or for being obedient to God. If God wants us to be recognized, then He will make that happen. But there are times He just wants us to be humbled and be obedient and do  whatever He lays on our heart to do. If we have wisdom, we will be satisfied with that.
I don't know about you, but I pray for more wisdom because I desire only what God wants me to have. Is that your desire today? Truly deep down in your heart, is it your desire to have wisdom above everything else? If God offered you anything you wanted....what would you ask for?

Good morning! It has been several months since I was able to post but I am back full force! So much has changed and hopefully I will be able to share some with you about that eventually. But for now, Mr. Fall has brought us some beautiful weather and such a crispness in the air.... and I am loving it! I hope 2014 has been kind to you. We are only 3 months away from Christmas!!
