Word Wednesday #64

“If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.” Ecclesiastes 10:10

As long as a man goes about in his own wisdom, trying to fight spiritual battles, he will give much effort and strength only to fail. But, if he sharpens his wisdom with God’s Word, he will find wisdom to direct each step.

Word Wednesday #63

This verse is from a month ago, but I need to review it more often:

“He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction. ” Proverbs 17:19

To continually be in these “wit battles” to “one up” a person is only walking to destruction. Even in jest one can love strife and in teasing it is still sin to “exalt my gate.”

“He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.” 
Proverbs 17:27

“Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;” Romans 15:30

Those praying are no less in the battle than those preaching. We should never underestimate the power of praying for those in duty.

Word Wednesday #61

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.” Romans 5:5

The Christian has no reason to refuse love. If we have the Holy Spirit, we have love.

Word Wednesday #60

“And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.” Acts 9:6

God gives us step-by-step directions. First, we must seek to know what He would have us do. Then, if He simply tells us “go and wait,” we must go  even if we cannot see what lies ahead.

Word Wednesday #59

“Though He were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;” Hebrews 5:8
If Jesus learned obedience through suffering, how much more should we go through the class of suffering, that we might learn obedience!

Word Wednesday #58

“I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.” Revelations 2:2-3

God is not unrighteous to forget our work and labor of love shown to His Name (Hebrews 6:10). The letters to the seven churches repeats, “I know thy works.” Jesus sees our every work – both righteous and unrighteous. He is watching us closely. He knows.

Word Wednesday #57

“Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city! She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the Lord; she drew not near to her God.” Zephaniah 3:1-2
Obedience – “Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.” Psalm 119:4
Correction – “For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.” Hebrews 12:6
Trusting – “Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:” Isaiah 26:4
Drawing – “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.” James 4:8

These are not simple suggestions for us to decide whether or not to keep them. They are commandments – and it is our choice whether or not we will obey.
