GROWING WISE

YOU ARE MY HOPE, O LORD GOD;
YOU ARE MY TRUST FROM YOUTH.
PSALM 71:5

Wisdom & hope are traveling companions. Wise men & women learn to think optimistically about their lives, their futures, & their faith. The pessimists, however, are not so fortunate; they choose instead to focus their thoughts & energies on faultfinding, criticizing, & complaining, with precious little to show for their efforts.

To become wise, we must seek God's wisdom---the wisdom of hope----& we must live according to Godd's word. To become wise we must seek God's guidance with consisitency & purpose. To become we must not only learn the lessons of life, we must live by them.

Do you seek wisdom for yourself & for your family? them remember this: The ultimate source of wisom is the word of God. When you study God's word & live according To His commandments, you will grow wise, you will remain hopeful, and you will be blessing to your family & to the world.

* wisdom is knowledge applied. Head is useless on the battlefield. knowledge stamped on the heart makes one wise.
