September 22, 2018 - WISE UP


Day 265 - (Today’s Bible readings: Deuteronomy 32:15-35; Psalm 81; Luke 6:12-19)

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; fools despise wisdom and instruction.” (Proverbs 1:7  ESV)

“The First Commandment teaches that ‘We should fear, love, and trust in God above all things’....

Solomon reminds us of the difference between true wisdom and the wisdom of the world. True wisdom is from the Lord, a message of foolishness to those who reject it but God’s very power to us who are being saved.

Paul encourages us to find our peace in Christ Jesus and His precious Word of mercy and forgiveness...
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.” (Colossians 3:16)

Heavenly Father, teach me to fear, love, and trust in You above everything else. Help me to wise up to You and Your gracious plan for my salvation in Jesus.  Amen.

“See” you in church tomorrow!

Pastor David Paape

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105 ), is the theme for this three-year journey through the entire Old Testament once (the Psalms - twice yearly), and the New Testament twice.
