Ask God for Wisdom...
At night, when our hearts are still, God speaks to us. In 2 Chronicles 1:7, God appeared to Solomon with a fantastic question, one that we could only dream about someone asking us - "What do you want? Ask and I will give it to you!" Solomon's request should forever instruct us in what is truly important. Instead of asking for riches, long life, or the destruction of his enemies, his simple request was for more wisdom to care for the people of God.
Anyone who puts the purposes of God and His people ahead of his own personal fortunes and fame will instantly win the favor of the Lord. And he will give you all you need from day to day if you live for him and make the Kingdom of God your primary concern" Matthew 6:33
Let us ask God for wisdom - not to make money or to control others, but to be able to administrate His kingdom with precision. When our hearts are separated from the world, God will give us the finances, physical health, and other things we need to help us accomplish our heart's desire for Him.
Separation from the things We love...
One of life's most distressing experiences is being separated from the things and the people we love. It is often difficult to leave a house that holds many pleasant memories and it is always hard to say goodbye to loved ones when we must leave them.
So it wasn't easy for Abraham to obey God's command that he separate himself from this county, his friends and relatives. Yet, without obedience to God's command, there would have been no blessing for him or his descendants.
God called Abraham to this life of special consecration because He had chosen him to be the channel through which He would work His plan of redemption. The human race had rebelled and become idolatrous and Abraham needed to worship the one true God.
It is still the duty of all believers to sever connections with anything that hinders our spiritual progress and effectiveness. We must forsake all sin, all self-will, and every worldly pleasure that draws our heart away from God.
If we do this, when we are tested and tried, the spiritual fiber of our lives will stand the test. We'll be strengthened in the process so that we in turn might be a blessing to those around us.
We want to wish and bless those of you who are celebrating a Birthday or Anniversary.
