Happy Thanksgiving!

Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. 

 Worship the LORD with gladness; 
   come before him with joyful songs. 
 Know that the LORD is God. 
   It is he who made us, and we are his; 
   we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving 
   and his courts with praise; 
   give thanks to him and praise his name. 
For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; 
   his faithfulness continues through all generations. Psalm 100

Have a Blessed week!

 God’s Wisdom Revealed by the Spirit

1 Corinthians 2:6-8

 We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.  No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.  None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

1 Corinthians 2:12-14

What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.  This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words. The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.

James 3:13

 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.

But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
