SUNDAYS WITH JOYCE

WORD FOR TODAY

Wisdom
1. God gave Joseph unusual wisdom    Acts 7:10    And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
2. Keep on growing in knowledge    Philippians 1:9    And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgement:
3. Pray for wisdom    Psalms 25:4; 27:10    Show me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths   When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.
4. Wise with spiritual wisdom    Colossians 1:9    For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.
5. Lord will give you understanding    2 Timothy 2:7    COnsider that I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

 

 

GOD MOVES IN ...

God moves in a mysterious way,
His wonders to perform;
He plants his footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.

Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never failing skill,
He treasures up his bright designs,
And works his sovereign will.

Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take,
The clouds ye so much dread
are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.

Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust him for his grace;
Behind a frowning providence,
He hides a smiling face.

His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a better taste,
But sweet will be the flower.

Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan his work in vain;
God is his own interpreter,
And he will make it plain.

William Cowper

 

'...God has a way about making our lives reflect His eternal plan.  Even when we think we are in charge, He lets us know who is really running the show.    His wisdom is unfolding in our lives every day.  Take time to thank Him for bringing you through dangers unseen, and problems solved, in His time....'..
