For so long, I have not felt peace. Life gets so terribly hard sometimes. I find it so amazing how the choices I make change my life dramatically and change the lives of those around me. I felt a strong pull today to really start pursuing wisdom, and understanding of what is really going on around me and what the point of it all is. If we live a life without intention, allowing things to simply float in and around and by us, without much thought, we become foolish. I want to intentionally become stronger and wiser. Kind of like a Boxer would prepare and train. I want to train myself in wisdom and become stronger and more prepared to deal with the difficult issues that are bound to come. Over and Over again.
I have been asking myself some pretty important questions. Like, do I exploit Gods goodness by being lazy with my morals? Or my speech? Or my attitudes? Am I discontentedly complaining? Oh, God! Forgive me!
And this: Is what I am doing helpful, profitable or constructive to my character?
That leads me back to wisdom. Seek wisdom and be RULED by wisdom. Train ourselves to be able to discern between good and evil. There is so much out there that does NOT belong in our souls.
And my last thought for the day:
Live as though your life is at stake and the enemy is waiting to outwit you! Then you will have PEACE because wisdom rules your heart!
