Topic: Wisdom For Living A Profitable Life
For a person whose life must be in order, God must be first in his life. A disordered life is a product of disordered priorities.
SCRIPTURE: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. Proverbs 9:10
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Your life is in order only when your priorities are in order.
Wisdom is a critical requirement for a profitable life, both in time and in eternity. Wisdom is the mystery behind every outstanding life, spiritually and otherwise. And the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom as we can see from our anchor scripture.
It is important to take note of the following points concerning the wisdom for living a profitable life:
a. Your life is in order only when your priorities are in order.
The first priority of a man should be God. Next is his family, then work, rest and recreation, etc. But where other things come before God, it is an inversion of priority. That is a life out of order.
b. Your life is out of order when your priorities are out of order.
For a person whose life must be in order, God must be first in his life. A disordered life is a product of disordered priorities.
c. Until you get it right with God, you never get it right in this life and in the life to come.
God remains the number one priority of man both in time and in eternity.
d. Until you are on track with God, you will be out of track with life.
To be out of touch with God is to be out of touch with life.
e. Until first things are put first in your life, everything else will be out of order.
f. Wisdom is never in place where the fear of God is out of place.
g. It is foolish to live independent of God.
Living as if you are the owner of your life is a disaster.
h. It is unprofitable to live with self as the centre of life.
Beloved, if your desire is to access wisdom from God, then it is the fear of the Lord that gives you access.
REMEMBER THIS: Your life is in order only when your priorities are in order.
ASSIGNMENTS:
Always live with the fear of God.
Make the reading, studying of the Word and praying a priority in life.
