Minister’s Corner: Resolve to seek wisdom

We’re at the beginning of a brand new year, and many of you have already made your New Year’s resolutions. Chances are, you have already broken one or two of those resolutions. It’s not unusual. No one knows what lies in store for any of us that might cause us to have to forget about our resolutions due to circumstances. However, we can be sure that as we enter into 2022, God is with us. We read in Hebrews 13:5 (KJV), “For he hath said, ‘I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.’” Through the good times and the bad, He is always there. We have this comfort. But since many of you have made resolutions, may I suggest adding one more. Resolve to seek wisdom.
Proverbs 9:10 (KJV) states, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.” When Solomon, the author of Proverbs, talks about the fear of the Lord, he is not talking about an abject terror of God. Solomon is talking about a reverential fear of who God is and what He can do. When we have this awesome type of respect for and fear of God, when we realize we cannot put Him in a box; we can be absolutely certain that when we surrender our lives to Him and His authority, everything is going to be alright.
There is none like our God! There is no situation or circumstance He cannot resolve to our betterment. Therefore, let me urge each of you to seek wisdom this coming year. Respect the Lordship of Christ and trust the Lord has your best interest in mind.
