1 Kings 3:23\u00a0 <\/span>Then the king said, \u201cThe one says, \u2018This is my son that is alive, and your son is dead\u2019; and the other says, \u2018No; but your son is dead, and my son is the living one.\u2019\u201d And the king said, \u201cBring me a sword.\u201d So a sword was brought before the king. And the king said, \u201cDivide the living child in two, and give half to the one and half to the other.\u201d Then the woman whose son was alive said to the king, because her heart yearned for her son, \u201cOh, my lord, give her the living child, and by no means put him to death.\u201d But the other said, \u201cHe shall be neither mine nor yours; divide him.\u201d Then the king answered and said, \u201cGive the living child to the first woman, and by no means put him to death; she is his mother.\u201d And all Israel heard of the judgment that the king had rendered, and they stood in awe of the king, because they perceived that the wisdom of God was in him to do justice.<\/p>\n

Exodus 14:31<\/b><\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0Israel saw the great power that the LORD used against the Egyptians, so the people feared the LORD, and they believed in the LORD and in his servant Moses.<\/p>\n

Joshua 4:14<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0On that day the LORD exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel, and they stood in awe of him just as they had stood in awe of Moses, all the days of his life.<\/p>\n

1 Samuel 12:18<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0So Samuel called upon the LORD, and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day, and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.<\/p>\n

Proverbs 24:21<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0My son, fear the LORD and the king, and do not join with those who do otherwise,<\/p>\n

Ecclesiastes 7:19<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Wisdom gives strength to the wise man more than ten rulers who are in a city.<\/p>\n

Ezra 7:25<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0\u201cAnd you, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God that is in your hand, appoint magistrates and judges who may judge all the people in the province Beyond the River, all such as know the laws of your God. And those who do not know them, you shall teach.<\/p>\n

1 Corinthians 1:24<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.<\/p>\n

1 Corinthians 1:30<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption,<\/p>\n

Colossians 2:2<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God’s mystery, which is Christ,\u00a0in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I am always amazed at the power of God in the lives of men of God who have humbled themselves before Him and live to honor and glorify Him.\u00a0 <\/span>God does amazing things in the lives of those who are called to His purpose.\u00a0 <\/span>I wonder if we look at these examples and say this is not going to happen in my life, I am not like one of these great men.\u00a0 <\/span>Are we limiting God in our life?\u00a0 <\/span>Are we saying God has changed and will not be active like this in our life?\u00a0 <\/span>Is it possible we are just coasting along and happy with a lukewarm walk this God?<\/p>\n

God does not change, He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.\u00a0 <\/span>What are we to do to see the hand of God in our life?\u00a0 <\/span>We have been given all things (wisdom and Knowledge) in Christ.\u00a0 <\/span>We have been given many great and precious promises in His word.\u00a0 <\/span>I will never leave you or forsake you.\u00a0 <\/span>I seek to prosper you, not to harm you. Cast your burdens on Me and I will give you rest. I gave my only Son to redeem you.\u00a0 <\/span>I will be your rock, fortress, refuge, strength, courage, hope, joy, peace, and rest.\u00a0 <\/span>I am God and there is no other.\u00a0 <\/span>I created you.\u00a0 <\/span>I created all there is in heaven and earth.\u00a0 <\/span>I know the cattle on a thousand hills and the hairs on your head.\u00a0 <\/span>A sparrow does not fall to the ground without Me knowing.\u00a0 <\/span>I am the Alpha and Omega, beginning and the end. I love you with steadfast love. I will create a new heaven and earth.\u00a0 <\/span>I create a home for you. I can do more than you ask and much more than you can imagine. I am just. I chose you before creation to be with Me.\u00a0 <\/span>I am retiring to my Father so that where I am you may be also.\u00a0 <\/span>I stand at the door and knock and everyone who opens that door will be with me.\u00a0 <\/span>I will lead and guide you.\u00a0 <\/span>I am the bread of life.\u00a0 <\/span>I am the living water.<\/p>\n

If we would just have faith the size of a muster seed we would see great and powerful things of God in our life.\u00a0 <\/span>We would not walk with lukewarm hearts and minds but with seeing hot desire to humbly serve, honor, worship, glorify, follow, and obey Him.\u00a0 <\/span>Maybe then we would see the wisdom and knowledge of God permeate our lives.<\/p>\n

God, please forgive my lack of faith in your power, strength, and love for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
