You cannot think of a question or life circumstance about which God\u2019s Word is silent. His principles for right character, conduct, and conversation apply to every situation and decision confronting human beings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">We\u2019re all able to recall times when we didn\u2019t respond wisely. Those incidents can be traced back to one of two possibilities\u2014either we didn\u2019t know a certain biblical principle or we knew the principle that applied but chose to ignore or violate it. To ensure that we\u2019 are familiar with God\u2019s standards and the importance of following them, we\u2019ve got to dig into His Word.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">For example, suppose that you walk into the office and a coworker verbally assaults you with undeserved blame for a costly mistake. Your flesh and the world would have you respond in kind with anger and malice. But Luke 6:27-29 offers a different approach, that might go something like this: \u201cIs there anything else? Thank you for telling me how you feel\u201d (spoken gently).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Knowledge comes from learning biblical principles; wisdom has to do with applying them. The Lord cautions us to keep His Word in our heart and in our heads so that we will heed His instructions (Ps. 119:11; Prov. 8:33).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Wisdom is acquired as we pursue the Christian life\u2014absorbing Scripture, doing what it says, and observing the result, which is for our good even when consequences appear less than favorable. Special classes aren\u2019t required; God simply wants obedient hearts and a willing spirit.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"color:purple;\" align=\"left\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-size:large;\">Used with permission from In Touch Ministries, Inc. \u00a9 2009 All Rights <\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s\u00a0 a brand new era, Lord.\u00a0 Help me to really look forward to it\u00a0 AMEN ! \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 AUTHOR: ROBERTA MESSNER &#8230;Forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead\u00a0\u00a0 (Philippines \u00a03:13 ) This article is definitely one that will inspire you to look forward&#8230;.Rhon .
