Wise Men Still Seek Him

Share

Today’s Scripture

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom…” (Proverbs 9:10).

Today’s Word from Joel and Victoria

After Jesus was born, the Bible tells us in Matthew chapter two that Wise Men came from the East to bow before Him and worship Him.  They went to great lengths just to get a glimpse of the child and traveled a long distance for many months, following the star. When they saw Him, they were so overwhelmed.  The scripture says they fell to their faces to honor and worship Him.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.  That means that we should have a reverential honor and respect for Him—just like the Wise Men did.  We are wise when we set everything else in life aside in order to seek Him.  We are wise when we worship Him and give Him everything that we are.  We are wise when we take time to honor Him.  Remember, God is a rewarder of the people who diligently seek after Him.  As you continue to put Him first in all you do, you’ll increase in wisdom and discernment, and you’ll move forward into the life of blessing He has in store for you.

A Prayer for Today

Father in heaven, I choose wisdom.  I choose to put You first and seek You in all that I do.  I honor You and bless Your name.  Thank You for the many blessing You have prepared for me.  In Jesus’ Name.  Amen.

  2. This scripture is so touching. Let us pray for each other and thank God for the gift of life. Let also pray for the LT team that it may prosper in the quest to inform us. Amen [-o<[-o<

  3. The fear of the lord, in addition to honouring and worshiping God also means keeping His commandments. The fear of the lord means loving God with all our hearts.

    1John 5:3, For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

  4. Proverbs 8:13, The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

  7. How nice to have strong feelings about our God. I pray to God to bless mother ZAMBIA, the best country in his creation. Lets support one onther in all areas hence to see the way forward with our leaders. Be kind to one onother, respect elders and young ones and love your neighbours, be it in homes or geographical boundaries and last but not least believe in UBUNTHU. Respect every human race. Praise his name all times. Imagine if birds sang songs of praise daily at dawn, why cant you or me do the same? Have a good day and pleasant week. I miss Zambia, especiallyfresh vegetables.

  8. He is good all the time and all the time He is good. I thank Him for all He has done for me.
    Isaiah 12:4-6

  12. Without bordering on blasphemy, I ask whether all blessings come via christianitys version of God. Sometimes I find it hypocritical that we embrace chriatianity so much at the expense of intambi shesu. And yet at other times we want to intergrate the two eg at weddings.

  13. I want to appeal to HIM to stop the suffering the PHILISTINES are currently going thru at the hands of HIS CHOOSEN ONES! Mwe Lesa twa papata! Or is it HIS WISH?.Is whatever is happening prophesized and it is just COMING 2 PASS? The so called fulfilment of the prophecy or HIM just working in HIS mysterious ways?

  14. #17, Biggie Jim
    Thanks a million man, you are right, i need not be disgruntled, from now onwards, i have stopped using that name.

  15. THANKS FOR THE SCRIPTURE,IT HAS COME AT THE RIGHT TIME.MAY GOD BLESS THE WHOLE WORLD AND ZAMBIA IN PARTICULAR,LT INCLUSIVE.AMEN

  16. LT you are definately flowing in the spirit – today’s message in my church was about seeking God first, attaining wisdom and knowing God’s purpose for your life… wow!!

  17. ZAMBIA NEEDS TO SEEK AND DO WHAT GOD SAYS IN ORDER TO MOVE FROM DEPENDENCE ON IMPERIALISTS WHOSE PURPOSE IS TO GAIN AT THE EXPENSE OF ZAMBIAN.WE HAVE INTELLIGENT,EDUCATED AND SMART YOUNG AND OLD ZAMBIANS WHOSE IDEAS,POTENTIAL AND LEADERSHIP SKILLS CAN SAVE OUR COUNTRY FROM THESE UNCARING POLITICIANS WHOSE AIM IS TO DEVOUR AND PLUNDER OUR RESOURCES.

    WE ARE WELL AND ABLE TO CHANGE AND BUILD OUR COUNTRY IF WE CAN ONLY SACRIFICE ALITTLE FOR ONE ANOTHER AND WORK AN EXTRA MILE TO IMPROVE OUR WELFARE.
    STAY BLESS.

  18. GOD, HELP US TO PUT YOU FIRST IN ALL WE DO AND INDEED WE SHALL PROSPER IN ALL THINGS.BLESS ALL BLOGGERS IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.

  19. Zambians we must demand a country like that of the vatican.Look how prosperous a small state is.England is surrounded by so many churches,It shows the route it had first taken to be where it is today.Look at America,on the dollar they say in God we trust.Others like Japan,China,Russia may have the wealthy but it is not that which shines out.If we are to be christians in our land we must ask our leader to be of a true report and genuine of dids,they must be true christians because if christianity flows from the top down to the bottom then we shall trully be a christian nation but if you and me claim to be christians and see corrupt leaders rule us without a voice then we are chasing the wind
