Lady Wisdom asks, “Why do you not let love come into the hidden places of your heart so that you can learn how to be wise?”
 My instruction is far more valuable than silver or gold. For the value of wisdom is far above rubies; nothing can be compared with it. Proverbs 8:10-11 TLB

There are hidden places within us that block our ability to gain the wisdom that we need to move forward. These hidden places in our hearts have been overtaken by squatters that are contaminating our thoughts. Their work has been to stop the progress of God’s plan for our lives. Some of these squatters are fear, pride, arrogance, dishonesty, lack of integrity, fear of the future, setbacks, stress, frustration, anxiety, worry, depression, pressure, and seeking approval of others, to name a few.

Whenever Lady Wisdom speaks to us, these other voices contradict what she is saying. Sometimes these voices sound like a trusted friend, parent, or teacher. However, we must be able to develop the skill of discerning the words of these squatters. The devil is the accuser of the brethren. His role is to have these feelings come up, to prevent us from trusting the words of Lady Wisdom.

It is necessary to be able to listen and know what wisdom is and what it is not. King David in Psalms 51:6 stated, “I know that you delight in setting your truth deep in my spirit. So come into the hidden places of my heart and teach me wisdom.” Cleaning of the heart has to take place. First, King David admits his sins and asks the Lord to purify his conscience. He knows that the love God has for him can override all of these voices and can open up the channel of communication. Second, with a clean heart, he will be able to sing again. Singing has a way of changing the heart, healing of the soul and restoring the emotions. The word says that the joy of the Lord is our strength. With a clean heart, his joy will be able to give him the power to fight against the negative forces in attacking his heart. Third, He asks for forgiveness. In the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus teaches his disciples to ask for forgiveness and also for them to forgive others too. It is by grace that we are saved. God’s uncompromising love for us takes care of our sins through Jesus Christ.

Being filled with pure thoughts and holy desires must take up residence in our hearts. God has given us a new clean heart, and we want to make sure that we do not find ourselves in the place of displeasing God. With a teachable spirit, we will find ourselves with a passion for life, and we will taste the joy of the Lord as we are held close by the Holy Spirit. Our testimony will help others to recover from the hidden pain of the heart. We will have a road map that can show others how to find their way back home to God.

Dear Lord, Help me to hide your words deep in my heart so that I will not do things that displease you. 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
