Wise Or Foolish

Ecclesiastes 10:1-4 (AMPC)

Ecclesiastes 10
1 DEAD FLIES cause the ointment of the perfumer to putrefy [and] send forth a vile odor; so does a little folly [in him who is valued for wisdom] outweigh wisdom and honor.
2 A wise man’s heart turns him toward his right hand, but a fool’s heart toward his left.
3 Even when he who is a fool walks along the road, his heart and understanding fail him, and he says of everyone and to everyone that he is a fool.
4 If the temper of the ruler rises up against you, do not leave your place [or show a resisting spirit]; for gentleness and calmness prevent or put a stop to great offenses.


Choosing a more Excellant Life style In Christ takes quality choices. A must have mind set and walking through the change to be wise... The Word says; "foolish ones ignore wisdom."

I Will Not Forget You Lord

Psalms 119:93-100 (AMPC)
93 I will never forget Your precepts, [how can I?] for it is by them You have quickened me (granted me life).
94 I am Yours, therefore save me [Your own]; for I have sought (inquired of and for) Your precepts and required them [as my urgent need].
95 The wicked wait for me to destroy me, but I will consider Your testimonies.
96 I have seen that everything [human] has its limits and end [no matter how extensive, noble, and excellent]; but Your commandment is exceedingly broad and extends without limits [into eternity].
97 Oh, how love I Your law! It is my meditation all the day.
98 You, through Your commandments, make me wiser than my enemies, for [Your words] are ever before me.
99 I have better understanding and deeper insight than all my teachers, because Your testimonies are my meditation.
100 I understand more than the aged, because I keep Your precepts [hearing, receiving, loving, and obeying them].

The Lord will cause me to understand Him in the Way that He has laid out from the Beginning. In The Beginning He made the Sabbath for man... A resting in a life of relationship, a quickening of the mind towards Him in peace, and the precepts of how they pan out in my life for my good.

Wisdom Find Her

PROVERBS 3:1-35:
PROVERBS 3:13-18:
"BLESSED IS THE ONE WHO FINDS WISDOM, AND THE ONE WHO GETS UNDERSTANDING, FOR THE GAIN FROM HER IS BETTER THAN GAIN FORM SILVER AND HER PROFIT BETTER THAN GOLD....
SHE IS MORE PRECIOUS THAN JEWELS, AND NOTHING YOU DESIRE CAN COMPARE WITH HER. LONG LIFE IS IN HER RIGHT HAND; IN HER LEFT HAND ARE RIVHES AND HONOR. HER WAYS ARE WAYS OF PLEASANTNESS, AND ALL HER PATHS ARE PEACE.
SHE IS A TREE OF LIFE TO THOSE WHO LAY HOLD OF HER, THOSE WHO HOLD HER FAST ARE CALLED BLESSED."

The Kingdom of Heaven Is Like This

Matthew 22:2-22 (AMPC)
2 The kingdom of heaven is like a king who gave a wedding banquet for his son
3 And sent his servants to summon those who had been invited to the wedding banquet, but they refused to come.
4 Again he sent other servants, saying, Tell those who are invited, Behold, I have prepared my banquet; my bullocks and my fat calves are killed, and everything is prepared; come to the wedding feast.
5 But they were not concerned and paid no attention [they ignored and made light of the summons, treating it with contempt] and they went away—one to his farm, another to his business,
6 While the others seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and put them to death.
7 [Hearing this] the king was infuriated; and he sent his soldiers and put those murderers to death and burned their city.
8 Then he said to his servants, The wedding [feast] is prepared, but those invited were not worthy.
9 So go to the thoroughfares where they leave the city [where the main roads and those from the country end] and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.
10 And those servants went out on the crossroads and got together as many as they found, both bad and good, so [the room in which] the wedding feast [was held] was filled with guests.
11 But when the king came in to view the guests, he looked intently at a man there who had on no wedding garment.
12 And he said, Friend, how did you come in here without putting on the [appropriate] wedding garment? And he was speechless (muzzled, gagged).
13 Then the king said to the attendants, Tie him hand and foot, and throw him into the darkness outside; there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
14 For many are called (invited and summoned), but few are chosen.
15 Then the Pharisees went and consulted and plotted together how they might entangle Jesus in His talk.
16 And they sent their disciples to Him along with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that You aresincere and what You profess to be and that You teach the way of God truthfully, regardless of consequences and being afraid of no man; for You are impartial and do not regard either the person or the position of anyone.
17 Tell us then what You think about this: Is it lawful to pay tribute [levied on individuals and to be paid yearly] to Caesar or not?
18 But Jesus, aware of their malicious plot, asked, Why do you put Me to the test and try to entrap Me, you pretenders (hypocrites)?
19 Show me the money used for the tribute. And they brought Him a denarius.
20 And Jesus said to them, Whose likeness and title are these?
21 They said, Caesar’s. Then He said to them, Pay therefore to Caesar the things that are due to Caesar, and pay to God the things that are due to God.
22 When they heard it they were amazed and marveled; and they left Him and departed.

God Keeps His Word

Psalms 139:23-24:

Psalms 139:23-24 (AMPC)
23 "Search me [thoroughly], O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts!
24 And see if there is any wicked or hurtful way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."

Who Will Live With Jesus

Revelation 21:1-8 (MSG)
Everything New
1 I saw Heaven and earth new-created. Gone the first Heaven, gone the first earth, gone the sea.
2 I saw Holy Jerusalem, new-created, descending resplendent out of Heaven, as ready for God as a bride for her husband.
3 I heard a voice thunder from the Throne: "Look! Look! God has moved into the neighborhood, making his home with men and women! They're his people, he's their God. 4 He'll wipe every tear from their eyes. Death is gone for good—tears gone, crying gone, pain gone—all the first order of things gone." 5 The Enthroned continued, "Look! I'm making everything new. Write it all down—each word dependable and accurate."
6 Then he said, "It's happened. I'm A to Z. I'm the Beginning, I'm the Conclusion. From Water-of-Life Well I give freely to the thirsty. 7 Conquerors inherit all this. I'll be God to them, they'll be sons and daughters to me. 8 But for the rest—the feckless and faithless, degenerates and murderers, sex peddlers and sorcerers, idolaters and all liars—for them it's Lake Fire and Brimstone. Second death!"

When Will Be The Reign of Christ On Earth

Revelation 19:

Revelation 19:7-14 (MSG)
7 Let us celebrate, let us rejoice,
let us give him the glory!
The Marriage of the Lamb has come;
his Wife has made herself ready.
8 She was given a bridal gown
of bright and shining linen.
The linen is the righteousness of the saints.
9 The Angel said to me, "Write this: 'Blessed are those invited to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb.'" He added, "These are the true words of God!"
10 I fell at his feet to worship him, but he wouldn't let me. "Don't do that," he said. "I'm a servant just like you, and like your brothers and sisters who hold to the witness of Jesus. The witness of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."
A White Horse and Its Rider

11 Then I saw Heaven open wide—and oh! a white horse and its Rider. The Rider, named Faithful and True, judges and makes war in pure righteousness. 12 His eyes are a blaze of fire, on his head many crowns. He has a Name inscribed that's known only to himself. 13 He is dressed in a robe soaked with blood, and he is addressed as "Word of God." 14 The armies of Heaven, mounted on white horses and dressed in dazzling white linen, follow him.

You Ought To Say Thank You Jesus For Saints

2 Thessalonians 13:
“3But  x we ought always to give thanks to God for you,  y brothers beloved by the Lord, because God chose you  z as the firstfruits [4]  a to be saved,  b through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth. 14To this he called you through  c our gospel,  a so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15So then, brothers,  d stand firm and hold to  e the traditions that you were taught by us, either  f by our spoken word or by  f our letter.”

Excerpt From: Crossway. “ESV Classic

..."so that you (we) may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ..."

I just love living In Jesus, with Him in God, [Col. 3:3] and seeing His glory In His Word, and In His revealing that Word by His Holy Spirit to me.

Jesus Gives Signs To Watch For In Beginning of End

Matthew 24 -25:

PJCopty

hope

John 3:16

God did love us enough to come to earth as a man, be raised as God's Son, God coming as Flesh on Earth, and then go into ministry at age 30. So, whoever would believe In Him, and turn from their wicked ways, repenting, and give their lives to His Righteousness, will be saved by that Righteousness of Christ's. He being the Only Begotten Son of God's, raised up from the dead by The Holy Spirit Who also will raise us up with Him.

We teach this as truth, Life, The Way, and He Being now The only Door to The Father.
"Whosoever believes in Him, will not perish, but have everlasting life."
