FAITH CAPSULE: Gain Him in the word, not in the world.

1Corinthians 1

Jesus is the Word, the wisdom from God.
One who gives self to the Word of God will gain the wisdom of God.
Give oneself to the Word by spending time in the Word of God.
Are you spending time in the Word of God, not with the Word of the world?
Spending time with the world in the place of spending time with the Word of God is a tendency to waste in life.
One who gains an understanding of God’s wisdom shall have a discerning edge (knowledge) in the challenging world.
When there is a lack of knowledge and understanding of the Word of God, failure in life becomes inevitable. 
The Word of God is for all to hear, receive, and believe to experience victory over the challenges of the wicked world. 
Jesus is the wisdom, the Word of God, the instruction for all.
1Corinthians 1:30 communicates to all, “But of Him, you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God…”
Give yourself to the wisdom from God!
The Word of God heals and delivers man from destruction. (Psalms 107:20)
The Word of God gives life abundantly to one who will receive and believe in God. 
Unfortunately, many are without the ability to understand the Word of God, due to worldly living and unending chores, some of which include:
· Being too busy, having no time to study the Word of God.
· Preferring to take care of the activities of this world before giving  self to the things of God.
· Having a dislike for the Word of God that is the truth to accept.
. Living a worldly life is taking the Word of God as foolishness 
Will you consider the Word of God as the evidence of His wonders?
Strive to understand that the Word of God is the key to retaining the presence of God. 
Once in the Word of God, with Moses, it becomes clear that the Word of God is the presence of God. (God’s way is in His Word; God’s Word is His presence. (Exodus 33:13-14) 
With wisdom, understanding, and knowledge of the Word of God, one will gain a clear and unfailing direction in the journey of life. 
Will you come out of all that is keeping you away from the Word of God, the wonder of God?
What a wonderful God we serve!
A wonderful God made man wonderfully with honor. 
One with the lack of knowledge and understanding of God’s wonder will set oneself to perish.
The Psalmist said, “A man who is in honor, yet does not understand, is like the beasts that perish.” (Psalm 49:20)
The one who knows and understands the wonder of God will know what it means to have been made with honor by God.
Keep yourself in the Word of God to gain wisdom.
Live for God, having the edge in areas of challenge.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to gain wisdom, to live life for His glory.
