Title: Wisdom for Life: A Key to Maturity.

-

James 1:5  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Devotion:
Wisdom is a vital component of maturity, one that transcends age and knowledge. It's the ability to apply our understanding to everyday choices and situations, making wise decisions that honor God.
Seeking Wisdom from God: 
In James 1:1-5, James, the brother of Jesus, emphasizes the importance of seeking wisdom from God. He encourages us to ask God for wisdom, promising that God will generously provide it to anyone who asks (James 1:5).
Growing in Spiritual Wisdom:
Spiritual wisdom grows as we apply our knowledge of God, the world, and ourselves to make right decisions about how we should act, live, and talk as Christians. As we deepen our relationship with God, we gain wisdom and the knowledge necessary to live abundant lives that honor Him (Proverbs 9:10).
Cultivating Wisdom in Our Lives:
So, how can we cultivate wisdom in our lives? The first step is to humbly ask God for help. When we acknowledge our need for Him, He generously provides the wisdom we need (Matthew 7:7-8).
Practicing Wisdom and Trusting God:
As we seek God's wisdom, He gives us opportunities to practice it and grow in our trust in Him. When we trust Him with our choices, we begin to see wisdom flourish in our lives (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Conclusion:
Wisdom is a gift from God, available to anyone who asks. As we cultivate wisdom in our lives, we mature in our faith, making decisions that honor God and lead to abundant living.
Prayer Point:
Dear Heavenly Father, I humbly ask for Your wisdom in my life. Help me to apply my knowledge to everyday choices and situations, making decisions that honor You. Thank You for generously providing wisdom to those who ask. Amen.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
