WISDOM

A new school year is underway. After purchasing new clothes, school supplies, and textbooks, students are "ready" for school. But, in our society, wisdom is lacking. "Wisdom" is NEVER on the school supply list! God's Word tells us to seek wisdom (Prov. 2:4). The LORD promises to generously give wisdom to those who ask (James 1:5). In addition to gaining wisdom, we also pray for our grandchildren to develop godly attitudes, place their confidence in the LORD, set right priorites, treat others with love and respect, obey those in authority, and resist temptation.

The Lord gave me this acronymn:

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men. Col. 3:23 (NIV)

I  can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Phil. 4:13 (NKJV)

Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Matt. 6: 25-33 (NAS)

Do to others as you would like them to do to you. Luke 6:31 (NLT)

Obey God, parents, and those in authority. John 15:14; Col. 3:20; Heb. 13:17

My son, if sinful men entice you, do not give in to them. Proverbs 1:10 (NIV)
