Lady Wisdom Is Proactive! 
"Come here and listen to me! I'll pour out the spirit of wisdom upon you and make you wise." Proverbs 1:23, Living Bible

Lady Wisdom asks, “Who are you listening to?”

Thankfully, Lady Wisdom is willing to work with us. If we do not listen, then we are going to "eat the bitter fruit of having our own way". Oh, no! I think that I need to start listening more closely to Lady Wisdom and be proactive. I want to live in peace and safety. I need to have peace with my body, mind, soul and spirit.

 What am I going to do to develop good habits? First things first. Pray! Read! Listen!  Do! Be thankful! Let's think about prayer. Asking for help when we feel weak or insecure is acceptable. Prayer opens us up to getting help from God. Next, reading the Bible or an inspirational text can give us ideas and answers to our questions. Then, listening to what the words or our inner voice is saying to us is important. We have to get quiet and still because the voice is within us. Doing the word takes courage and faith. Finally, being thankful as we execute the task, will help us to finish strong. We know that a good end is in sight.

Visualizing success helps. I have a vision board in which I place pictures and words of insight and encouragement to myself. It is posted on the door of my study. As I pass by, I read and see something that I want to focus on. I also say a prayer or think good thoughts. It helps me to be focused on what I want to do in the future and what I am grateful for.

Being accountable to others for what you want to do helps as well. Letting a supportive and trusted person know of your goals facilitates your commitment to the task at hand. You do not want to share with everyone your deepest dreams because you do not want them to discourage you. Ask Lady Wisdom to help you find a trusted friend. Seek and you will find that person who will help you on your journey. We want good counsel and constructive criticism.

Prayer:
Dear Lord,
Help me not to be complacent but to be proactive like Lady Wisdom! Please bring trusted and supportive people into my life that can assist me in reaching my goals.
Help me to visualize and then actualize the success that you have for me.

Amen!

Goodness Rules! He who shuts his ears to the cries of the poor will be ignored in his own time of need. Proverbs 21:13 TLB Lady Wisdom asks, “Why do you ignore the vulnerable and weak among you?” Jesus Christ in his ministry on Earth specially came to change the conditions of the poor and needy. He wanted them to know that they do not have to be poor anymore. The Bible says that He, Jesus went around doing good. He even fed the people and looked out for their well-being. Min istry to the poor is part of the Christian calling. We are to not overlook the poor. Something very troubling in our society is the disregard for the less fortunate. The spirit of greed seems to be rising in the places and institutions that were considered to be a support system for the needy. Churches, schools, hospitals, and government appear to be overtaken by individuals who only see them as ways to make money. It is abusive in nature. These institutions, which use to be people-focused, are now, profit-...

Dr. Cindy Trimm my Spiritual Mentor The words of Dr. Cindy Trimm have guided me on my wisdom journey. Wisdom from the Elders - those who have already gone that way of difficult living can impart knowledge to us through their experiences and insights. They carry much knowledge so we shouldn't neglect what they have to say. We should pay attention to what was said. It might not necessarily apply to the present scenario situations that we experience today. Yet, there are nuggets of truth in their words. The elders (our parents and spiritual mentors) were probably referencing their time or era. Their understanding of the situation may be conceptualized from their point of reference. As I was reading Proverbs 1: 8 (AMP), “My son, hear the instruction of your father, and do not reject the teaching of your mother.” These are the words of wisdom that spoke to my soul. A father's exultation requires wisdom. "My child listen when your father gives correction." We sh...

"For the reverence and fear (respect) of God are basic to all wisdom. Knowing God results in every other kind of understanding. I, Wisdom will make the hours of your life more fruitful. Wisdom is its own reward, and if you scorn her, you hurt only yourself." Proverbs 9:10-12, Living Bible Lady Wisdom asks, “Who do you respect?” As a society we need to get back to basics. Acknowledging that there is a God, sets our feet on a solid foundation for life. It will produce boundaries for our daily living. It is like having a constitution for our lives. We know the truth – God is. He is the “I Am.” Having this respect for God, helps us to respect his creation, the world and everything that is in it. I think because we know that there is someone bigger and greater than us, compels us to be accountable to that person. Believing in God causes us to live with integrity. We are not just living for ourselves but also to please God. Our parents play a role in our lives as bein...
