Do You Believe?
So a man thinks, so He will be.
In the world today, we are bombarded with information from many different sources: social media, radio, television, school, church, books, and magazines, to name a few. It has been said and widely accepted that "knowledge is power,” but with so many sources of knowledge and information out there how can we be certain we re choosing our knowledge base wisely?
From what sources do you draw your knowledge? The way you answer that question should provide great insight into what you believe about life, God, and your circumstances. God gave us the unique ability to reason and choose our thought pattern unlike any of His other creations. Because thoughts and beliefs exist before actions, we know our individual thought life leads the way to our individual behaviors. God gave us the free will to think and believe however we choose.
So now you can pick out what is true and fair, find all the good trails! Lady Wisdom will be your close friend, and Brother Knowledge your pleasant companion. Good Sense will scout ahead for danger, Insight will keep an eye out for you. They’ll keep you from making wrong turns, or following the bad directions of those who are lost themselves and can't tell a trail from tumbleweed.
PROVERBS 2:9, THE MESSAGE
Websters defines knowledge as “knowing something with familiarity gained through experience or association.” God’s desire is that we would be filled with His knowledge that we would be familiar with Him, experience Him, and associate with Him through His Word. and therefore guard us against knowledge sources that could harm His plan tor our lives
As Solomon points Out in Proverbs, our deepest knowledge will directly shape who we become. For as he thinks in his heart, so is he (Pro. 23:7).
What do you think about?
Do you believe the Word of God?
Is the Bible your main source of direction and cause?
Do you believe God is in control no matter what is going on around you, good or bad?
When you truly seek the knowledge of God, Jesus, and the power of the cross, you can rest in His Word and promises for Your life. He has the power to work in all things according to His Word.
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
MATTHEW 6:33
If you believe that knowledge is power then please choose your knowledge source wisely.
Jesus said to him “II you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.
MARK 9:23, NKJV
