God Is Wisdom
My son, do not forget my teaching but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity.
Proverbs 3:1-2
Remember hearing childhood stories about princesses and super heroes? Oh, what it is like to be a small child wrapped up in the arms of a loving parent while listening to fairy tales with happy endings! … We all wish for happy endings especially when it comes to our children. We do everything to protect them, to teach them, to warn them about poor choices, dangerous situations,...but we all know they don’t always listen.
Our relationship with our Heavenly Father is much the same….His word provides instruction to protect us, but we too sometimes don’t listen. No matter what we have done, however, His arms are always wide open for our return to Him. He longs to comfort us, forgive us for our sins, and to give us the wisdom and strength to avoid future persuasion. And, it is in this context with Him that we can live …happily ever after!
For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate. Luke 15:24
Because God is wisdom, through Jesus Christ we can live a victorious life.

Everyday Struggles
God is Faithful
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6
Everyday newspapers and talk shows are full of stories of conflict, disagreement, uncertainty -- and personally, we battle issues with health, finances, relationships, poor choices…..
Some struggles are so enormous that we can’t face them alone. The Bible tells us that God never forsakes us. He is always with us in our struggles, providing strength for the next week, day or hour, and providing comfort, guidance, and rest when we think we can’t go on. God gave David the confidence to face a giant with only five smooth stones and a sling shot...and God the Father gave Jesus the strength to die on the cross for us and through His resurrection, declare victory over this world. Yes, everyday brings strife, but in Christ, we are given the strength to endure and the confidence in the outcome no matter what we face. By having faith in Jesus, we too are victorious over things of this world.
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33
Because God is faithful, in Jesus Christ we find hope for whatever challenges we face.
