Word from Nairnshire
by Sandy Shaw
That powerful and valiant leader, Moses, knew there were no secrets which could be hidden from God. All we do and say and the way we treat people is seen by God and known to God.
Our sins are seen even when we think He may not be looking.
Moses prayed about this. He was a man who talked with God face to face.
He asked to be taught to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. We need teaching about this.
There is much we can learn by observing Moses at prayer.
A man can decide to give himself to seeking wisdom, and the Bible will enable you to become wise. It may not make you wealthy, but to become wise in the eyes of God is something you cannot buy.
Seek the wisdom of God. Let His wisdom consume you and saturate you. Be bathed in His wisdom and people may be amazed when you are called upon to make some vital decision.
When someone is in difficulty he may approach you for help, because you are recognised as a man who is wise with the wisdom of God.
That does not happen overnight. We have to work at it. God does not share His sacred secrets with lazy people.
To be wise, be open to the Word of God. Wisdom begins to grow, develop and mature in our hearts.
Study the Word of God and allow its light and wisdom to shape and fashion your thinking and lifestyle.
What is wisdom? Doing what God wants you to do, and saying what God wants you to say. That requires discipline.
Jesus always knew what He had to say and do to please His Heavenly Father.
