"HE IS WISE!"

1 Corinthians 3:16-19                    (ESV)

"16 Do you not know that you are GOD's temple and that GOD's Spirit dwells in you?

17 If anyone destroys GOD's temple, GOD will destroy him. For GOD's temple is Holy, and you are that temple.

18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks that "HE IS WISE" in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise.

19 For the wisdom of this world is folly with GOD. For it is written, "HE catches the wise in their craftiness,".   

One of the most gratifying experiences has to be when others come to you seeking guidance with a situation they are dealing with.   Exhibiting traits that will draw people seeking what you have can be a testament to a GODLY lifestyle.  Mainly, when others SEE that the Spirit of GOD ALMIGHTY is upon you, they can quietly know that you have a peace and assurance that only comes from ABOVE, and you're likely to share that peace and assurance.  

Most experiences can only be shared by someone who has gone through their own trials!  You can revel in your trials or accomplishments, but getting through those trials or accomplishments are always a testimony to the ONE WHO is in control of all things.  I have been through some AMAZING experiences, but the ONE WHO got me through the journey is the ONE WHO gets all of the Glory!  

Being one who has come through some pretty AMAZING physical problems is one thing, but coming through times when there is intellectual and Spiritual growth can be quite another.  The ONLY way to grow "WISER" as we mature is to be granted the growth from Heaven.  Proverbs 2:6-8 says "...the LORD gives Wisdom:.." and not earthly sources. Anyone who says "HE IS WISE" is in danger of becoming "a fool that he may become wise".  GOD uses trials (James 1:1-13) to mold us into vessels that can Glorify HIM, not so someone can say "HE IS WISE"! 

There are times when I can't even find the words to complete a sentence I am trying to say.  Do you think I even think about saying "HE IS WISE" when that occurs?  Or what about after I have made a decision that costs me resources, even more than money?  Can you hear me saying "HE IS WISE"?  There are way too many times when I am left wondering how I will get through this journey called "life" to consider the phrase "HE IS WISE"!  But Wisdom that comes from GOD is one thing that I can have freely (James 1:5), and I'm blessed to receive graciously!!!
