Wealth, position, popularity, and eternal youth are highly prized in the world system. Especially in Los Angeles, a world wide destination with movie stars, Hollywood, and all that goes with it.
People can look really good on the outside but underneath the exterior so many seeking these things find themselves unable to sleep well, stressed, tired, and unhappy. They look to therapists, drugs, alcohol and other man made things for a cure. Or, seeking peace, the THINGS God made like stars, crystals, rocks, the universe. Many are deceived following spirits who disguise themselves as angels of light but are in fact enemies of God. They commune with them through various rituals and affirmations trying to call things into being and get what they want. Basically being their own God and controlling “their universe”.
As I once again begin a new study of Proverbs I find in it’s pages the secrets to true riches. It’s actually not a secret but right there for anyone that will take the time to spend in God’s Word.
WISDOM
UNDERSTANDING
The Bible says these two things, when you find them, offer much:
“For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver,
And her gain than fine gold.
She is more precious than rubies,
And all the things you may desire cannot compare with her.”
Proverbs 3
In addition you will get:
Length of days
Riches
Honor
Pleasantness
Peace
Happiness
The Tree Of Life
God’s protection
Freedom from fear
Sweet sleep
So how do you find WISDOM and get UNDERSTANDING? By seeking God and spending time in His Word. Get to know Him. Find out what He loves and what He hates. So many of His ways are written plainly in the book of Proverbs. It’s like a handbook of how things really work.
One thing is very clear. God hates the world system. If you love the world, the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, the PRIDE of life, you have no part with the living God. This world system, run by the “prince of the power of the air”, Satan, is passing away. God is allowing it for a time as He is the One in control. The Lord in His infinite wisdom has given each one of us free will. The right to choose the world system which results in death, or to choose Him which leads to eternal life. Who will you choose?
