 Education Based on Divine Grace

Proverbs 2:1-15

He holds success in store for the upright He is a shield to those whose walk is blameless (v.7)

Proverbs is a book written by Solomon which contains wisdom that is useful for both children and adults.  Proverbs, chapter 2 talks about the wisdom that’s given to us by God through his Divine Grace.

What is divine grace? It is a  divine gift that is given by God through his son Jesus Christ wisdom is a god-given gift that helps us to succeed in our day-to-day lives. In the bible, it says the path to wisdom is strenuous. When we are on that path of true wisdom God will guide and reward us for our sincere search.

True wisdom helps resist temptation. If we are faithful to God and clear in mind he will keep us from pride and greed. To grow in divine wisdom, trust and honor God.

Bible verses reveal the wisdom of God to us. We must avoid moral pitfalls and make the right decision in our lives. When we commit sin or wrong doings we must learn from the mistake and recover. Verse 11, says discretion will protect you and understanding will guard you. Discretion is the ability to tell right from wrong, it also enables believers to detect evil motives.  Hebrew chapter 5: 14 says that we should train ourselves in order to have discretion. When we grow in the Lord's wisdom and practice it in our lives we will gain the capacity to understand what is good and bad. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. Fools despise wisdom and instruction.”(proverbs 1:7)  Trust in God, believe that he provides wisdom,.Honor, and respect, God to live in his power as we start our new academic year, he surely makes you wise because God knows it all. 

 

 

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank you for giving the gift of wisdom. Help us to use the gift according to your will. Thank you for showing us your grace and blessings upon us. Help us follow your plan . In Jesus name, we pray, Amen.

  Constant, patient and welcoming love of God   St. Luke 15: 11-32  V.21: And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ The parable of the ‘Prodigal son’ is one of the most frequently quoted parables that Jesus told His disciples. The parable contains the rich mine of human virtues and emotions. This parable is lived and re-lived in progressing civilizations from time immemorial and continuing. It brings out in vivid detail the pathetic depth of human sinfulness and the glorious heights of God’s forgiveness.      As a story of human nature, fathers are generally merciful to their children in any circumstance. They are very protective and are eager to provide for and secure the lives of their offspring. Jesus is telling this parable to underscore the superlative love of God to His children. The nature of such love is reiterated by Jesus in Matthew 7:11. Humankind wh...

Revelation for Liberation Acts 27:18-26 Sherine Thomas Long Island MTC, NY 20  When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest raged, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned. “After winter comes the summer.  After night comes the dawn.  And after every storm, there comes clear open skies” so said a Scottish clergyman from the 1600s. It’s been said, that hope can sometimes be the most dangerous weapon.  However, it’s sometimes the hardest weapon to carry when you’re living with the loss of a loved one, something that almost feels like a terrible nightmare that’ll never go away.  It’s a weapon difficult to carry when day in and day out no one seems to hear or see those tears that are shed or silent cries that are made during a heartfelt prayer. It’s a weapon difficult to carry as you see your loved one lying on that hospital bed.  It’s a weapon difficult to carry as you search and seek out answers to tel...

PRIESTHOOD: THE ANOINTED MINISTRY Exodus 40:12-16 Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting... wash them with water. Then dress Aaron in the sacred garments, anoint him and consecrate him so he may serve me as priest (Exodus 40: 12-13). Priesthood among the people of God was a divine command and initiation. God wanted some people to be separated for the special ministry among his people. God appointed Aaron and his descendants to take up this kind of ministry among the people of God. Priests are always separated and appointed as channels that connect God with his people. All throughout the history of Israel, priests played an important role in connecting people with God and to lead and guide them in the statutes of God. But there are incidents in the Bible where the priests failed in their duties and that led the people to go away from God. So the priests have a special and significant ministry to perform in this world among his people. Two important things...
