Title: Wise up, ask God for Wisdom.

-

"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." James 1:5 KJV
Devotion: As we navigate life's challenges, we often face uncertainty, confusion, and overwhelming situations that leave us feeling helpless. We are confronted with complicated circumstances that demand wise decision-making, and we constantly struggle with the need for wisdom.
  James reminds us that the ultimate solution to our dilemmas is to ask God, the source of all wisdom (Proverbs 2:6). When we ask, He generously provides, never withholding anything good from us (Psalm 84:11).
  To God, no problem is too trivial or too complex. He is always willing to help and guide us, so we should never hesitate to ask for His wisdom (Matthew 7:7-8).
  Our God is generous, eager to grant our requests and fill us with the wisdom we need (1 Corinthians 1:30). We don't have to worry about whether God will help us or if we are deserving of His guidance.
  In fact, God delights in giving us wisdom when we seek Him with a humble heart (Proverbs 2:1-5). When we seek His mind and will, we are seeking to see everything from His perspective (Psalm 119:105).
  Let us be wise enough to seek God's wisdom in all our plans, decisions, and responses. As we acknowledge our need for Him, may our lives be shaped according to His great wisdom, honoring Him in all that we do (Colossians 1:9-10).
 Prayer Point:
Lord, thank You for giving us wisdom as we come to seek You. We acknowledge that You know everything; we need Your wisdom to guide us, for we are nothing apart from Your leading. Teach us to have a heart of humility, always recognizing our need for You. May our lives be shaped according to Your great wisdom, honoring You in all that we do, in Jesus' name. Amen.

- "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6
- "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:31-32

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 ...
