Wisdom

Christ wants us to have a child’s heart and a grown- ups head   C.S. Lewis

Wisdom

Eccles 3:1-8, 11 1 There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven 2 A time to give birth and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted. 3 A time to kill and a time to heal; a time to tear down and a time to build up. 4 A time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance.  5 A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace and a time to shun embracing. 6 A time to search and a time to give up as lost; a time to keep and a time to throw away.  7            A time to tear apart and a time to sew together; a time to be silent and a time to speak. 8 A time to love and a time to hate; a time for war and a time for peace. 11 He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end.

Wisdom/The enemy

2 Tim. 2: 23,24,25,26  23 But refuse foolish and ignorant speculations, knowing that they produce quarrels. 24 The Lord’s bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, 25 with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth,  26 and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.

Encouragement

I Thess. 5:11  Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing.

Our works

I Cor. 10:31 Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

Our strength/His will/Sovereignty

I Thess. 5:24  Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass.

Winning others

I Cor. 9:22   To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak; I have become all things to all men, so that I may by all means save some.
