God's wisdom.

Genesis chapter 22 verse 1.
"Later on, God tested Abraham's faith and obedience."

From the moment we open our eyes to the moment we lay down again, we have decisions to make. It is the outcome of those decisions that either make us happy, strengthening us to move along peacefully.
   Most of the simple daily tasks are taught to us or we pick them up quickly by observing others. Then there are the challenges that test our abilities. Making us put effort into seeking the knowledge required to be successful.
   School challenges our creativity so that we can gain confidence and understanding. When successful, we are praised for our achievement, but not all of our efforts are successful and can cause us to loose self-esteem. Some people put it as; "having the wind knocked out of your sails."
   We all look forward to driving a car, but that is not just given to us, it is something we have to learn to do. And once we do learn, it is something that we should not take lightly doing, for one simple mistake can cause irreparable damage. We quickly learn in our lives that mistakes can be costly. They can affect our finances, our relationships and our confidence in dealing with failure.
   So we have to gain the wisdom needed to prevent mistakes from happening. Our focus is challenged and so is our ability to retain and process information. It sounds like a lot of work, but really it is part of everyday life. Nothing is easy, but in order to be successful we need to pull up our socks and face our challenges with the want to learn.
   Enjoying the time we spend in using wisdom to seek out the knowledge needed that will direct our paths and the understanding of how to use what we have gained. It is also important to use common sense. Patience allows to stop and think for a moment, giving us the clarity to see the paths that we are about to take. 
   So where does God come into all of this? Well, challenges make us feel overwhelmed and bring on anxiety. Rejection causes us to have an attitude and others will be defensive if our attitude has put up walls preventing us from seeing clearly. We are not always right and things do not always turn out the way we want them too. The challenges we face are not new, they have all been done before and all the bugs have been worked out, making it possible to learn and be successful.
   God has been around forever and has all the knowledge, wisdom and understanding needed to direct our paths. Our parents guided us the most out of all the people we learn from. So why not trust in God out heavenly Father, who because of His love for us, sent Jesus get us and direct us home.
   Tears of joy caused by the feeling of love, has to be the most wonderful feeling of comfort and peace that anyone could ever have. There are no words or expressions that could return a greater love than that of gratitude.
   Let Jesus, bring you the wisdom of God. From there you will always be thankful knowing that God is always with you. Through the up's and downs holding you close and showing you the best places for you to be. Do you want to be successful? Do you want to feel loved and content? Then trust in Jesus and let God, your Father guide you with His love.
   Thank you Father for Jesus and our confidence to face each day, knowing you are right there. 😊
