Once our temple has a foundation of Love, we can then focus on building our temple with the seven pillars of Wisdom (Proverbs 9:1):<\/p>\n
1 <\/b>Prudence<\/p>\n
2 <\/b>Knowledge and discretion<\/p>\n
3 <\/b>Fear of God<\/p>\n
4 <\/b>Counsel<\/p>\n
5 <\/b>Sound Wisdom<\/p>\n
6 <\/b>Understanding<\/p>\n
7 <\/b>Power<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s start at the beginning of wisdom. Wisdom from Our Heavenly Father is vastly different from man\u2019s wisdom. The fruit of man\u2019s wisdom has proven to lead us toward death and destruction whereas Wisdom from above leads us to life and restoration.<\/p>\n
Proverbs 9:10 \u200b\u200b\u201cThe fear of the LORD is<\/em> the beginning of wisdom, <\/p>\n \u200b\u200bAnd the knowledge of the Holy One is<\/em> understanding. <\/p>\n :11 \u200b\u200bFor by me your days will be multiplied, <\/p>\n \u200b\u200bAnd years of life will be added to you.<\/p>\n The fear of the LORD is the first evidence that you are embracing wisdom. Embracing HIS Word sets the standard by which you walk out your life. Each of us lives by a standard of some type. That standard may be high and takes the path of lawfulness or it may be a standard that promotes chaos. Either way, each of us has a standard of conduct. The Ten Commandments were given by Our Heavenly Father as a basis for our standard of conduct. Rejecting that standard is effectively rejecting the \u201cfear of the LORD\u201d thus rejecting wisdom as your compass in life. Who are we to decide which Commandments are applicable to us? Who are we to say what laws should be observed and what laws are to be discarded? How can the \u201ccreated\u201d dare to challenge THE CREATOR? That is the epitome of pride and arrogance.<\/p>\n Proverbs 8:13 "The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way And the perverted mouth, I hate.\u201d<\/p>\n The evil way and the perverted mouth go hand in hand. Evil leads you to the path of destruction.<\/p>\n Proverbs 8:7 \u200b\u200bFor my mouth will speak truth;<\/p>\n \u200b\u200bWickedness is<\/em> an abomination to my lips.<\/p>\n 8 \u200b\u200bAll the words of my mouth are<\/em> with righteousness;<\/p>\n \u200b\u200bNothing crooked or perverse is<\/em> in them.<\/p>\n We should focus on only speaking truth and if we don\u2019t know the truth, we should remain silent until Our Heavenly Father speaks the truth to us. In today\u2019s politics and finance, it is extremely difficult to find the truth of the matter. Greed has infiltrated the thoughts and the words of so many in power and authority, one must seek Our Heavenly Father to navigate through the perverseness that prevails today. Phrases such as the \u201cnew normal\u201d and the \u201cmodern family\u201d are attempting to redefine righteousness and truth. Wickedness is attempting to masquerade as righteousness. Compromise is at every turn. Only the Standard of the Law from Our Heavenly Father can truly differentiate and expose what man is attempting to promote.<\/p>\n Without wisdom, knowledge and skill will not serve you well. It is one thing to do things right. It is another to do the right thing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Once our temple has a foundation of Love, we can then focus on building our temple with the seven pillars of Wisdom (Proverbs 9:1): 1 Prudence 2 Knowledge and discretion 3 Fear of God 4 Counsel 5 Sound Wisdom 6 Understanding 7 Power Let\u2019s start at the beginning of wisdom.
