2 Timothy 3:17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
God has made sure we have a wonderful resource in our hands, our bibles; the words of which were inspired by Him for our good.
Jesus came to earth not to show us all up but to fulfil the prophecies and show us we can fully depend on Him.
As long as we depend on Him through this resource He has given to us, we have hope of doing His good work.
Colossians 2:3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Whether this refers to the gospel or to Christ Himself, we have all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge to hand – we just need to ask.
How do we ask? In prayers to God through Christ or by picking up our bibles and reading the gospel story!
When Christ promised us He would be here for all our needs, it was a promised He had already started in motion; we just did not know it yet.
Proverbs 1:20 Wisdom calls aloud outside; She raises her voice in the open squares.
Have you noticed how it is easier to spot something good and wise than to spot something sinister?
But what if you are solely focussed on looking for the sinister? Not much chance of getting to see the wisdom around you then…
God continues to show us the way, but we have to be willing to look for His will and His ways in our lives.
Look and listen for Christ’s ways and learn about Him openly.
Luke 18:12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’
Boasting about your fasting is just wrong on so many levels! We should fast in order to show Christ we mean what we say, not to show others we do.
It should not be taken as a prideful time because man cannot live without food!
God told man in the very beginning what he should be willing to sacrifice and further taught us to willingly give for the upkeep of the church.
Boasting about how much you can give is nothing more than boasting of your earthly riches.
