Love you all, praying for you.
God showing me recently Proverbs 17:2 – A wise servant will rule over a disgraceful son, and will share an inheritance as one of the brothers. Wow, a servant who is faithful – will be treated like a son - and get the same inheritance as a son. A wise servant - very rare. Most people are unwise, they lack wisdom. Many are even fools – but few are wise. Because few are humble and fear the LORD – the beginning of wisdom. And few hunger and thirst for His Word – the source of wisdom. They don’t spend much time in the Word of Truth – that teaches wisdom. PRISM hasn't become a habit for them yet - so it becomes a longing. Equally, few are servants. Most want to be served, they want preeminence. They don’t want the sacrifice of taking the low place. Really, the low place wouldn’t be that bad, if it wasn’t lower than someone else’s place You can’t have the low place unless someone is higher than you. Taking the low place when you have no choice is not the same humility as choosing the low place, giving someone else the higher – when you have a choice in the matter. That’s why a wise servant is rare – an endangered species. The inheritance of God is spiritual – but not only spiritual – natural also! God owns the wealth of the world and gives it to whomever He chooses. But those who just want earthly inheritance, who are not content with Spiritual inheritance - are after only temporary wealth... 'not for long' trinkets. But Spiritual inheritance yields eternal wealth and earthly wealth that doesn’t rust of fade - and brings no trouble with it. Praying for you that you won’t be duped by the temporary – that you won’t measure yourself by those addicted to the temporary – short-sighted individuals – like Esau who sold his birthright for some Campbell's Chunky. Praying that you will have the heart of a servant – the heart of Jesus - toward everyone – starting with your spouse and siblings and family, and then friends and relatives and even strangers. A heart of a servant not only for those who are easy to get along with – but also for those who are not. That the example of true leadership which Jesus taught – would actually become your heart and mind and practice. There is a joy in serving. Serving alone – is you choosing the low place – lower than the one you serve. Praying also that wisdom will take root in you. That you would be humble and fear God (turn from evil, tremble in His presence, fully obey, say nothing harmful, seek peace and pursue it.) Praying that your PRISM time with Him in His Word, would be a daily addiction, and your PiVAT before dinner will have you hearing and obeying His plans for you – which is the action of wisdom. Praying that you will be a wise servant – who humbly accepts the wisdom of God planted in you through His Word. So you like God’s Son Jesus – become the servant of all, walking in the wisdom that God gives by the Holy Spirit through His Word. Praying that you will ask yourself two questions. Am I willing to serve today? And Is getting wisdom a priority for me today? Then ask God who He wants you to serve, and ask Him for wisdom. He will tell you and then give you the next piece - to add to the wisdom He has already given you. Love you all dad
