Shalom,

There are two things from today's Bible Reading in Proverbs 15 that I want to share with you. The first is found in verse 14:
14 The mind of him who has understanding seeks knowledge and inquires after and craves it, but the mouth of the [self-confident] fool feeds on folly.

Do you see that if you already HAVE a certain amount of understanding of the Word of God, you WILL be seeking and desiring even more? In fact, this verse says that you will CRAVE it! If you ever find yourself NOT craving more of the Word, then realize that you are in danger of losing even what you THINK you have of the knowledge of the Word (Luke 8:18 AMP). I like to call that a "working knowledge". The Word will only "work" for you if you truly believe it and have increased your faith by meditating on it. So, let's get to work! There is much unlimited learning yet to be done! AMEN! 

The other point I want to speak of today is found in Proverbs 14:30:

30 The light in the eyes [of him whose heart is joyful] rejoices the hearts of others, and good news nourishes the bones.

We are supposed to stir up our joy every day! The verse above tells us why! WE are to be presenting HIM to the world! NOT our problems and cares and worries and concerns! EVERY person has those! But what do YOU have that is different, and can make all the difference? Be always rejoicing and ever ready to give an answer as to why! AMEN! People are waiting to see the Jesus in YOU! SHOW HIM OFF! Amen! Here is another Christmas song by Hillsong called "Emmanuel":


Shalom in Him!
