God is Wisdom and Power – God is Love

Wisdom belongs to the aged, and understanding to the old. But true wisdom and power are found in God; counsel and understanding are His. What He destroys cannot be rebuilt. When He puts someone in prison, there is no escape. If He holds back the rain, the earth becomes a desert. If He releases the waters, they flood the earth. Yes, strength and wisdom are His; deceivers and deceived are both in His power. Job 12:12-16

God is amazing—all powerful and all wisdom. We all desire wisdom—does that make us wanting to be like God? You probably know someone who wants to be POWERFUL! There is one in every group, classroom, family, club or organization and work place. Power is their goal. Do they seek wisdom with that power desire? If only that were the case.

One of my earliest lessons on God I remember from my Mom saying that God is love…that the Bible tells us that. But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 1 John 4:8. There is a kid’s song based on that same scripture passage that my daughter learned for a Psalty musical when she was six years old. This song has stuck with us for years now. It is a catchy tune and the words are worth not only memorizing…but living.

Beloved

Beloved, let us love one another
For love is of God
And anyone that loveth is born of God
And knoweth God.
He that loveth not (clap, clap, clap)
Knoweth not God for God is love.
Beloved, let us love one another.
First John, four: seven and eight.

Wisdom is important…but love is essential in life. Which do you seek more…wisdom or love? Which do you give more…wisdom or love?

Prayer ~ Dear God, You are Love. Give us not only the desire to love You and ourselves, but also our neighbors, family and friends with whom You have so richly blessed us. Wisdom is desirable, but love is greater than everything. Thank You for that revelation today.

Weekly Wisdom Quote…

True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, & the world around us.                                                                         Socrates
