We have heard for several years that we must increase both spiritually and naturally.  While that is true, it is also true that we should grow and bear the fruit that will please the Lord, that we might be strengthened for the performance of duty; to meet temptations; and to bear up under the various trials of life.  To come to the understanding that the storms of life and tests of our faith will produce a desired fruit of the Lord in our life IF we choose to cultivate it!

We cannot please the Lord without our knowing what pleases Him!  We begin to know this through reading His word!  Only by filling up with His knowledge can the supernatural wisdom of God be poured out from deep within us to the lost and thirsty people in our world.  When we fill up He squeezes us out!  

Wisdom is the right application of knowledge.  We, in ourselves, cannot apply the knowledge of God without the Spirit of God leading and guiding.  This requires us to walk humbly knowing that our God is Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent!  Knowing that God has His righteous right hand on us should empower us through His unsearchable grace to go the distance and obtain the prize of the high calling in Christ Jesus!

God is a good God and He loves you and I so very much!  Don’t be dismayed, God is not mocked!  Search out His word to show you approved a workman in the word that won’t be ashamed…one that can rightly divide the word by the Spirit.  God has a great plan designed for your life.  Be encouraged and finish your assignment strong!
