Dear Friends in Christ,
Thank you for allowing me to come into your homes today with this message as the Lord fills my heart to give. Dewey, I appreciate FGGAM, you, and the many who work to make this wonderful ministry available to us all. I pray this Hope in Today Ministries’ devotional today brings honor and praise to God in the Name of our Savior and Lord Jesus The Christ, the Son of the Living God.
I took this picture on Sunday, I believe, the view was better from the top! The view could not be captured the same as when I reversed the lens of the camera as if to take a “Selfie” of this treetop! I was feeling low in spirit, but discovered my blessing of God’s wonderful filling of the Holy Spirit; as I do each time that I feel depleted! I go in the presence of the Lord to refill, by His Grace!
Perhaps you feel low sometimes too? Overwhelmed? Knocked Down? Etc.?
Painting a Picture of
A “Selfie” of Wisdom!
The light at the top of this tree shined to me; as in a way that we don’t paddle upstream to get to the top of the waterfall! We go to the top with Praise and Thanksgiving, where grace begins to flow! Grace with Wisdom are found UP HIGH ATOP of all things where God resides; and yes, in Christ, as God lives in our heart! And, Wisdom Calls out to us from the Top of the Hill to Listen to Hear “I Wisdom” call out to us!
I soooo encourage you to listen through the Books of Proverbs for the Wisdom to choose Wisely; and learn the blessings of even Common Sense that God brings to us to be blessed.
Who is “I Wisdom”?
I remember when I first heard this in the Bible! I wondered, is Wisdom a Person? YES!
Hooking John 1:1 up with Proverbs Chapter 8, what does the Lord say to you? Who is Wisdom? Why do we need Wisdom? Do you hear Wisdom speaking to you? Wisdom calls for Hearing!
John 1:1
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
Proverbs Chapter 8:1-4;22-31
1 Listen as Wisdom calls out!
Hear as understanding raises her voice!
2 On the hilltop along the road,
she takes her stand at the crossroads.
3 By the gates at the entrance to the town,
on the road leading in, she cries aloud,
4 “I call to you, to all of you!
I raise my voice to all people.
22 “The Lord formed me from the beginning,
before he created anything else.
23 I was appointed in ages past,
at the very first, before the earth began.
24 I was born before the oceans were created,
before the springs bubbled forth their waters.
25 Before the mountains were formed,
before the hills, I was born—
26 before he had made the earth and fields
and the first handfuls of soil.
27 I was there when he established the heavens,
when he drew the horizon on the oceans.
28 I was there when he set the clouds above,
when he established springs deep in the earth.
29 I was there when he set the limits of the seas,
so they would not spread beyond their boundaries.
And when he marked off the earth’s foundations,
30 I was the architect at his side.
I was his constant delight,
rejoicing always in his presence.
31 And how happy I was with the world he created;
how I rejoiced with the human family!
Now, will you join me for Hope in Today’s Tuesday Devotion:
Friends, Will you allow this to challenge your mind to consider, How much do you believe in God?
10? 20? 75? 85% ~Or, have you surrendered your all & all to Jesus 100%?
How much do you depend on God? Do you desire anything more than the Breath of Life Jesus lives to influence your choices?
Oh to have faith like Daniel, who prayed to God in the Lion’s Den! Mercy & Goodness to have faith like the 3 Hebrew boys who walked out of that firey furnace after they proclaimed: That if we live; or if we die, we shall live because of our God!
Do you believe those Bible stories as truth; fact or fiction?
Personally, I base my life choices on a solid foundation that Jesus is the Truth & these Bible accounts that are written to encouarge us. That they are not told as parables, but rather accounted for as miraculous events in History.
Friends, you can make up your own mind to discover that trust in a personal awareness of God in our life, that God can, and will do as necessary according to our mission on this earth!
And God is good! This is the Good news.
God is God & He is just; FaiThful & true!
What a life-changing Promises we have from God!
That If God is for us, who can be against us?
That the “What if(s)” in this world can’t sway us from seeking God’s Will for us & worshiping Him only; that we will still worship and serve our God only!
How about even in ministry; Lord, these bones you sent me to are dry, they are as very dry bones; “Can they live,?” you ask the Lord? Believe, & you can you say, “Lord, only YOU know if those dry bones can live!”
And, IT IS GOD who breathes the BREATH OF LIFE in our hearts to believe and grow in Christ!
We have a mission trip to earth here and now!
To 1st believe God’s testimony about His only Begotten Son & to live and follow the Christ, pray & press fwd listening to God’s Voice!
We believe in God; we believe also in God’s Son!

I pray this is a blessing to you.
