SEEKING WISDOM

He who provides for this life, but takes no care for eternity, is wise for a moment, but a fool forever. -Tillotson

Proverbs 4:7, Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

            I have seen many people seek after education, a career, fame, fortune, and even a spouse. They continue to seek after these things never quite being satisfied with what they get when they get it. The education leads to a degree that doesn’t have a job attached to it. When fame comes it leaves the popular lonelier than when they were unknown. The fortune drives them to a recluse life thinking everyone is after their stash. The spouse God had intended for them to have is replaced with a self-centered lost man or woman that doesn’t know how to love anyone except themselves.

            I want to challenge you this morning to,” … seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness”. As you do, you will learn of your sinful life. You will learn about His righteousness. You will learn about the love of the Lord Jesus. You will learn what you need to do to be saved. And when you do get saved,” … all these things shall be added unto you”, truly learning the wisdom of the Lord!

JESUS IS CONCERNED WITH YOUR FUTURE, ARE YOU?

And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the LORD. Exodus 6:8

            When the Lord was speaking to Moses about bringing the Children of Israel out of Egypt He was letting him know He was concerned with their future. You may be living as if this is your last day on Earth but are you investing as if you’re going to live forever? Whether you’re saved or lost, you will live forever. The catch is, where will you spend it, Heaven or Hell. Well that’s up to you. Jesus has finished His part in salvation now it’s up to you to respond. “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Romans 10:9
