How to Navigate through Life and Come Out Shining
O taste and see that the Lord is good. Blessed is the man who trusts in Him. Psalms 34:8 NKJV
Hear, my sons, the instruction of a father and pay attention to gain and to know intelligent discernment, comprehension, and interpretation [of spiritual matters]. Proverbs 4:1 AMPC

These are troubling times and require that we think before we speak or move forward in whatever we do. Skillful and godly wisdom is offered to us so that we can intelligently discern, comprehended, and interpret each situation that comes our way. We all will be tempted to go the easy way or to look for short cuts. However, they only lead to a dead end.

Keeping our ear to the heartbeat of the Father, and his instructions are what can save us from experiencing testing and trials full effect. God promises us a way of escape because they will come – it is a natural part of life. Staying focused on His lessons of insight will benefit us. We can learn from other people’s failures.  Examples of what not to do can teach us what to look out for.

Lady Wisdom Speaks and her instructions provide for us a road map to success. What is skillful and godly wisdom?  It is a comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God. We can apply this knowledge to life’s problems and issues that appear to be overwhelming. We have the inside scope and a God-given solution that will place us in a position of confidence and grace. We will wear a crown of beauty and glory as she puts the wreath of gracefulness on our heads.

Living for God’s glory gives us an advantage. He provides a comforting light during difficult times. When we can see ahead, then it makes it possible to continue on the right path to success. Why should we prize God’s instruction and wisdom? Prize Lady Wisdom because she will exalt you and promote you and bring you to honor when you embrace her. She will give you the grace and the beauty and the glory to shine brighter and more transparent until the light reaches full strength.

Prayer: 
Dear Lord, Thank you for the wisdom instructions that you give us so that we can gain knowledge, discernment, and understanding of spiritual matters. We want to comprehend your ways and purpose for our lives. You said all that we have to do is taste and see that you are good as we trust you and take refuge in your instructions. 
Thank you again, Jesus!
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...
