Wisdom in some ways is the right measure of all things. Everything that God has given me is good, and meant for good, and can be used for good. But it can go bad b/c I live in this world, and have the seed of sin in my heart. I need lots and lots of wisdom to live for truth. It comes from heaven.
That’s the thing. I must live as if I am citizen of another world, which is true! If my focus is on this world, I will live according to this world. If my focus is on His world and on Him, oh I would live totally different. And I need Him. I want to focus on Him.
One thing I noticed the other day. Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. THat means that He controls time. Satan on the other hand shows up in the Bible being rushed b/c He is short on time. If I want to grow more like God, at one point, I will have control and authority even on my time. That’ll definitely help me be in perfect peace. The peace beyond understanding comes from a world beyond this one. It’s an unatural ability. Perhaps I can rephrase that to “supernatural ability.”
I want to live above this world, in heaven, full of Him and full of heaven. But that does not mean pompous. Jesus was very humble, the most humble of all, so humble He came down from heaven to earth. I want to have the humility of Jesus, the great Man and the great God of heaven.
