wisdom & knowledge


Hey everyone!

This is my first devotional at FSU. I miss everyone and hopefully everyone is enjoying school again. This month's topic is so important in your life because wisdom especially from God is unique and desired treasure for His children.

Wisdom is a huge gift of intriguing details and lessons to edify your character especially your daily walk in God. These details are needed to help you succeed in life. Wisdom helps you to avoid pitfalls that the enemy sets in your life. I attain knowledge and wisdom from reading the Word of God. This Holy Bible is everything I need to grow and maintain my walk with God. Of course the Holy Bible gives knowledge and wisdom to God's children and even sinners. When I feel shy or timid, I read about having the boldness of God in me. I learn who I am in God and that God says in 2 Timothy 1:7 "For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline." (TNIV). By using the tool of the Word, I become more in-love with my Father and the wisdom that He will give me. God loves us so much that He has given us the ability to attain His wisdom in the Word of God. Is this so cool? I love to read Romans because it is one of my favorite Book in the Bible. Romans gives me so much knowledge about how to live as an on-fire Christians in the End Times. Romans explains the consequences of sin even lists the different sins that people fall into especially Christians. When we become Born-Again Christians, we are marked by God so we have huge spotlights over us. We are different from the rest of the world so the enemy tries his best to set pitfalls for us to fall. By reading the Word of God, we learn lessons and how to not fall into the enemy's temptations.

I use God's wisdom in my life everyday especially these days at FSU. At college, you must have a firm foundation in God and you build a strong foundation by reading God's Word. Here there are so many temptations to fall into or reject my morals which are based on God's wisdom and knowledge that He has given me. The enemy tries to make me feel alone and isolated but I learn in the Word of God that God is always with me. In Joshua 1:5 God says "No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you." (TNIV) By learning this lesson, I know that I am never alone and I relied on God to find Christian friends. God did answer my prayers because I trust on Him because I have found Christian friends especially students from Jacksonville. When we put on our faith in God then we saying to God, " You are number 1 in my life. You are in-control and I rely on You!" Using God's wisdom has significantly blessed my life. I had been spared potential rejections and failures by trusting in God. God directs my path and never steers me in the wrong direction. I love God and He loves me! I love Him giving me wisdom which I use my life! I thank God often for His wisdom and knowledge! His wisdom and knowledge will make even the gloomiest day seem sunny and full of life! Trust in God and use His wisdom daily because you will never regret it!


Love you guys,

Brittany
