Wisdom

It's been getter harder to gauge which books I deem as a favourite but I think the book that has impact me the most lately would have to be the book of Proverbs. The last few weeks our class has had the privilege of having the founders of this bible school to travel from Montana USA to teach the wisdom literature books (Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs) It's definitely been refreshing to listen to teachings of how to practically walk in wisdom in areas of finances, relationships and speech. I've always thought that wisdom was determined by intellect or education level but I've come to realise in these last few weeks is that wisdom is not determined by age, intellect or social condition but by the decision one makes in every day life. In Proverbs it says that "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom," and that the reality of "fearing the Lord" begins with an emotion of hating what God hates and loving what God loves. This book has challenged me to make "fearing God" the bedrock of each life decision I make.

A couple weeks ago I began a new ministry at the local Univeristy here teaching and helping students practice their english once a week. Its been awesome to just be able to sit with people and have conversation about thier lives, what they like doing and what they want to be. I would appreciate your prayer in the relationships I'm building with these students, that I would be able to speak life into these people and be sensitive to the promptings of the spirit if God would open a window for me to say a word for him.
Only two more months of bible school and 18 books left until I will have read and studied the entire book of the bible. I cannot express how valuable this time has been in my life. I wish everyone could do this school.

God is good!

All or nothing
