JUNE 19 – EPH. 4:13-16

06/19          Ephesians 4:13-16
13 This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ.
14 Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth.
 15 Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. 16 He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.

SMART

I’m smart.  I can do quantum physics. But I’m not wise.

I’ve studied the stars, counting their age, wow, smart.  But I’m not wise

I can build a house, and know everything about electricity.  But I’m not wise.

I don’t know God.  The wise and perfect Creator. 

         He details wisdom in His Word and will give wisdom freely.  But I’m not wise. 

The wickedness of the world overwhelms me.  Death and loneliness track me. 

         But I’m not wise and cannot deal with life. 

Jesus said: I am the way, the truth and the life.  I Christ we find all wisdom and the right way.  He is the Creator and sustainer. 

Ask Jesus into your heart.
He will guide you each day.
You will grow wise in well doing.
