Leaky Bucket

Knowledge without wisdom is like carrying water in a bucket full of holes without spilling any.

See we can know about God. We can believe there is a God. But if we truly want to know God personally, intimately, we need to hear God. Hear His spoken Word and believe it to be true. Read His written Word and believe it to be true. Accept His living Word and believe Him to be the only begotten Son of God: Jesus Christ, Messiah, Yeshua, Redeemer, Saviour, Jehovah, Friend, King of Kings, Lord of Lords; the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

His Name is Wonderful, God Most High, Creator, The God Who Sees. He lives in a house not made with hands: our hearts. Because we ask Him to forgive us of our sins, wash us clean and make us whiter than snow. Clothe us with holiness and righteousness. Give us pure hearts that we may see the face of God and live. God sees our hearts and our thoughts. He knows us better than anybody else could ever know us. But how well do we know God?

How intimate is our relationship with Him? How personal, how close do you want to be? I am in whispering distance.

Wisdom seeks God out before any decisions are made; not as a last resort. It has been said that when all else fails, pray. I say pray first and see what God can do.

Wisdom chooses God's way of doing things and not our way. We are the most impatient species on the planet. God is a God of patience. We want things yesterday and now. God waits. We want what we can't have, don't need or isn't good for us. God gives us what we need and what is good for us. We tend to hold grudges and carry chips on our shoulders. God forgives. Over and over and over and over.....etc.......

Wisdom is the primary tool of the Holy Spirit. He moves through us revealing more of God and more of ourselves. He shows us not only what needs changing, what needs cleansing and what needs removing, but how to do all of it. He shows us who wants to be saved when we let Him do the leading. Doors of opportunity open every day. When we can't go to people, the people go to us.

Wisdom seeks the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which we desperately need in our lives. He is the Comforter, the Guide, the Friend of the Bridegroom who prepares the Bride and leads her to the Groom. Wisdom knocks down walls and builds bridges.

Knowledge says "I need water. I have a bucket. My bucket has holes in it. I will do it anyway."
Wisdom says "I need water. I will need a new bucket."
