CHILDREN OF A LESSER GOD

Illustration: We often find ourselves in a realm of spiritually emptiness, too hard for us to be understood by others. Our restlessness, anxieties, our way of life has taken us, away from ourselves. We have no control on our desires, and yet we are led into a path of spiritual warfare. We are confused by the delusions of modern day packages, looking for incentives in everything, buy one get one free. The Great American Dream, an inspiration to billions youngsters, is now a living nightmare. The yo-yo market hangs like a noose, awaiting the genext on a slimy foundation. Where are the management gurus who carved an iconic image for themselves in the economic books of history? Most of them were from the worlds top premium management schools, whose white papers and speeches have deformed personality traits in young minds. Their collapse able state of art infrastructure is too weak to nurse the wounds they have inflicted. If we can blame ourselves, we can heal ourselves. Let not fate decide our destiny, but by faith overrule it. Are we children of a lesser God? Let us reflect our lives every day guided by the Holy Spirit, in the words given to us by our forefathers. Meditation for wisdom, understanding, instruction, justice, judgement and equity.

Proverbs Chapter 1

1The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;

2To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;

3To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;

4To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.

5A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

6To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

7The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

8My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

9For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.

10My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

11If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:

12Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:

13We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:

14Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:

15My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:

16For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.

17Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

18And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.

19So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

20Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:

21She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,

22How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

23Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

24Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; 25But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

26I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

27When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

28Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

29For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

30They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

31Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. 32For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

33But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. Prayer:May our praise never cease, may our hearts rejoice gladly, may our needs be fulfilled, may our sins be forgiven, may we be delivered from all evil, may we be granted peace, may we be protected from all anxiety and may eternal glory be showered on each one of us. All glory and honour is yours Almighty Father, forever and ever. Lord, we are living in the world of choices, often our paths are leading us away from you Lord. Lord we ask for forgiveness that we may be strengthened by your mercy, by your love. Lord many times you have stretched your hand to save us yet we chose not to fear the Lord. Lord from this very moment, fill us with your Holy Spirit, that we may know thy word. Keeps us free from all desires. I ask this in the name of Lord Jesus Christ. Amen
