Perfect Wisdom
Perfect in prescience and ability to teach;
Perfect creation with all in its reach;
Perfect in reasoning and knowledge was there;
Perfect recollection never failed to repair;
Perfect in Jehovah before works of old,
When there was no heavens nor fountains or sea;
When all was in God, and of Him to be.
Perfect wisdom is in God alone. We, in life, may be
blessed with a portion of knowledge and the wisdom
to use it through faith, experience or revelation;
but God does not need experience to know what the
outcome of His actions will be: Perfect Wisdom! |

"That the God of our Lord
Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the
spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him."
(Ephesians 1:17)
Through the years the first chapter of Ephesians has been
one of my favorite places to just sit and meditate upon. It
covers so many areas of the doctrine and almost seems
complete in itself. After Paul establishes the doctrines of
grace, of election, of the effective call of God's children,
redemption, predestination, the forgiveness of sin, and what
our inheritance is. Then he brings forth his prayer for
the saints of God that we might be given the spirit of
wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him. Also that we
might know what is the hope of his calling, and what the
riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints. As we
continue in this chapter it just gets better and better.
Then ends with, "And hath put all things under his feet,
and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in
all."
It just don't get any better than that.

The Wind
John 3:8 – “The wind bloweth where it listeth,
and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not
tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth; so is
every one that is born of the Spirit.”
The first time WIND is
mentioned in God’s Holy Word (KJT) is found in Gen.
8:1 – “And God remembered Noah, and every living
thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the
ark: and GOD MADE A WIND TO PASS OVER the earth, and
the waters asswaged.”
Exegesis would require us to conclude that the WIND
is not sovereign nor independent, as GOD Himself
CAUSED the RULES OF THE WEATHER – meteorology – and
thereby can “cause the wind to pass over.” Wind is
mentioned all through the OT and also in the NT
However the thrust of
this writing is to establish the continuous fact
that WIND is NOT independent nor sovereign. All
WEATHER factors are GUIDED by THE CREATOR and
CONTROLLER, who is God in the works of the Holy
Spirit. At anytime that suits the Holy Trinity’s
objectives He becomes THE CONTROLLER, even in that
of the NEW BIRTH.
Wednesday, February the 6th, 2008 under clear skies, wind
from the northwest at thirteen mph, with the temperature at
thirty degrees.

"For
we walk by faith, not by sight;" (2nd Corinthians 5:7)
Sometimes we get the idea that we will or can prove to
everyone that God is real, that Jesus is the Son of God,
that Jesus died for our sins according to the scriptures and
he did. But to those that are void of faith can not
believe because they have no faith. Faith is a fruit of the
spirit, therefore if a person is not born of God, he has no
faith and can not believe that Jesus is the Christ. Faith
is the substance of things hoped for, and evidence of things
not seen. You see, we are able to see God through an eye of
faith. "For we walk by faith, not by sight."
