This journey that we are on, called life, will present us with many choices. There will be many different paths that lead to various destinations with a myriad of results. It can be overwhelming thinking about which road to choose. How do we choose?
I pray today Reflections will bring comfort and peace to your heart and mind. I decree it be a continued source of encouragement and inspiration. When you are walking in Christ, you receive the entire benefits package, which includes everything that Jesus is. His anointing now resides in you. And it is up to you to nurture and walk in that anointing.
We sometimes get lost on our journey. Or more than likely, side-tracked. Face it, for us—our life journey can be like a kid in a Willy Wonka candy factory. So many options. So many voices. Which do we choose? Who do we listen to? We can become uncertain in who or what to believe.
When we choose God and receive Christ as our Savior, we not only obtain wisdom but embark on a journey of wisdom. A journey that will teach us not only about who God is but who we are in God, about the heart of God, how to choose wisely, and how to discern correctly. As we yield to God and spend quality time with Him, we will begin to recognize that our life's journey has become a journey of wisdom. A journey of recognition and anointing.
There is power in wisdom. Power in knowing who you are and what your purpose is in this life. There is power in knowing who God is. When you know who the Father is, you began to understand that, no matter what you are faced with within your life’s journey, God will always be right there with you.
Life is indeed a journey of wisdom. We are experiencing life every day whether we are participating or not. Life is happening all around us. Time is moving forward; seasons coming and going whether we are actively a part of it or not.
The most wonderful thing about this journey is that we are not in it alone. God is right there with us. Holy Spirit is here to teach and guide us. His instructions leading us to life and understanding.
Sometimes our journey can get a bit overwhelming and we quickly forget the power we have in Christ. That wisdom is present in our lives, helping to calm the waters and take away the feeling of being overwhelmed.
In my quiet time and Bible study, I have been reading Psalms and Proverbs. The book Proverbs is considered the book of wisdom by many. As I was reading, God opened my eyes, yet again, to another revelation: Jesus is Wisdom. Jesus just does not embody wisdom, or have wisdom. He is wisdom. And on this journey of wisdom, it has become clear to me that it is a journey of revelation. A journey of discovery. Discovering not only who we are, but who Christ is, and who are in Him, and how when we embrace and accept Him, our life’s journey becomes clearer, and the paths to take become easier to choose.
Maybe you knew this, already. But I did not see it this way. My previous understanding concerning this revelation was that when we receive Christ as our Savior, we gain wisdom and understanding, as in who God is, and the mysteries of His word. That Jesus would impart into us His wisdom of the Father; His knowledge and understanding. That, His wisdom is what we gain over time, as we yield to a life in Christ. However, it never occurred to me that Jesus and Wisdom are synonymous with one another, just as God and Love are synonymous.
Talk about mind-blowing! I must have read Proverbs 8 a few times, as the understanding blossomed and the anointing took hold of my heart and mind. Then it occurred to me, that when we receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we receive wisdom. Wisdom becomes a part of us. The anointing is residing in us, and to walk in wisdom, all we have to do is yield to Christ. Christ is the wisdom we seek. Christ is wisdom operating in us if we believe and allow Him to be the King upon the throne of our hearts.
Proverbs 8:22-31“The Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way, Before His works of old. 23 I have been established from everlasting, from the beginning, before there was ever an earth. 24 When there were no depths I was brought forth when there were no fountains abounding with water. 25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills, I was brought forth; 26 While as yet He had not made the earth or the fields, or the primal dust of the world. 27 When He prepared the heavens, I was there, When He drew a circle on the face of the deep, 28 When He established the clouds above, When He strengthened the fountains of the deep, 29 When He assigned to the sea its limit So that the waters would not transgress His command, When He marked out the foundations of the earth, 30 Then I was beside Him as a master craftsman, And I was daily His delight, Rejoicing always before Him, 31 Rejoicing in His inhabited world, And my delight was with the sons of men.
Amazing! To know that wisdom and Christ are one and the same. That, when we receive Christ, and we are in fellowship with Him; we have wisdom. Wisdom living and breathing within us. Wisdom guiding and leading us, and Holy Spirit giving understanding! This gives a whole new look at our journey of wisdom. It is a journey of getting to know Christ and who we are in Him and the power we have.
Do you understand what this means as a believer? All we have to do is listen to Christ within us. All we have to do is yield to His way and His teaching. All we have to do is put on the mind of Christ, and we will be filled and walking in wisdom. The anointing of wisdom is present with us each and every day we are yielded to Christ, and walking in salvation.
We have access 24/7. We can walk in our purpose, living fulfilled lives that have been saturated by the anointing of God, because we have yielded to Wisdom.
We don't have to search and search for the truth when the truth is already with us. We don't need to seek outward wisdom when wisdom is already within. All we have to do is yield! My God, what a revelation!
My Beloveds, may the spirit of peace and prosperity find permanent rest in your lives. I decree that every good thing that God has ordained for your life will become evident to you. The journey of wisdom begins in your heart. Yield to Christ and He will reveal everything you need to know. There's no need to be overwhelmed when inside of us, Wisdom is waiting to reveal to you the path God has ordained just for you and how to walk in it 24/7. You are blessed. Now go...and be a blessing!
