Ignore or Please

     We all feel neglected when we are ignored, and it offends us.  So what happens when we ignore God?
We become i-ll advised by our own wicked minds
We              g-rieve God
We              n-arrow down obedience to God
We              o-ffend our Father
We              r-est in our own weak strength
We              e-ven short change ourselves from what God has in store

     Yet what happens when we strive to please God?
We gain      p-eace
We              l-et go of our own misdirected plans
We              e-xtend helping hands to others and gain love
We              a-lways look to God
We              s-eparate ourselves from those against God's ways
We become e-ager to follow God's direction

Wisdom

     King Soloman asked in Proverbs, "How does a man become wise?"  He then went on to state, "The first step is to trust and reverence the Lord."  The book of Proverbs is filled with facts and ways to gain wisdom which is "far above rubies; nothing can compare to it."  Actually, I cannot add more about wisdom than is found in the book of Proverbs, but below is an anagram I developed on gaining wisdom.

W ord of God must be studied daily
I nvolvement with God is a must  
S tick to the path of righteousness; don't sidestep from it
O bey God's Word
M an knowing what is right and doing it

Proverbs 3:18 "Wisdom is a tree of life to those who eat her fruit; happy is the man who keeps eating it."  
About Wisdom:
Proverbs 8:23 "From ages past, I am.  I existed before the earth began." 
Proverbs 8:35 "For whoever finds me finds life and wins approval from the Lord." 

Kneel

      God is on His throne.  He is in control of all circumstances.  We may not understand all that He does or allows but we are called to continually kneel before Him in prayer, not to to present our requests but to praise Him in all things.  So in every circumstance:

K eep praying. We
N eed the Lord
E veryday and in
E veryway.  He will never
L eave us. 

Hebrews 13:5b  "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."
