Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom.
The word, impressed, means to feel admiration or respect for something. This verse warns us against admiring, respecting, and following our own wisdom and understanding. Because, relying on our own wisdom is pride.
Pride is more than just arrogance—in Christianity, it’s the excessive belief in our own abilities. It’s the source of most sin. It’s the mindset that says my understanding is better, my way is more reliable, even above God’s. And that’s dangerous. When we place our own wisdom above God’s, we start to disregard His infinite authority. We stop seeking Him, we stop listening, we walk in our own world-given identity and slowly, we distance ourselves from Him. Pride leads to separation from God because it says, I don’t need Him.
"Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." (Proverbs 16:18)
Instead, we’re called to fear the LORD and turn away from evil.
Fearing the Lord doesn’t mean being afraid of Him. It’s not a terror. It means having deep reverence, respect, and awe for who He is. It’s recognizing His holiness. It’s humbly acknowledging His power, and His authority. It’s a comprehension of who God is and, in turn, living in a way that honours Him.
And fearing God is where true wisdom begins.
When we humbly acknowledge the glory of the One who created us, we accept that we don’t know it all. That we will never come close to without God.
Fearing God compels us to become dependent on His Word, which is Him and His Truth that leads us to live rightly. This kind of reverence brings humility—it’s a surrender and obedience. Because when we truly understand God’s character, His power, His Word, and His perfect will, we can’t help but follow Him and reject what is not of Him. He is the source of all that is good—because He is good. Everything He creates is good, and everything He calls us to is good. Fearing God allows us to walk in His goodness rather than the evils that seek to destroy us and defy Him.
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." (Proverbs 9:10)
I pray that you and I will continue to walk in the perfect grace, mercy, and goodness of our God. May He guide us in His perfect will, leading us to harvest from His Spirit and His Spirit alone. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
God bless you!!đź’—đź’—

Please Don’t Turn Blind Eye To Our lives, Our Hope Begins with You
Hello, I'm Ola, a graduate student from the faculty of science - Al-Azhar University in Gaza Palestine. I truly appreciate you taking a moment to read my story. As you reading my message, myself and my family, “my mother, father, three sisters, and my little brother,” are fighting death in northern Gaza and trying to survive under all kinds of suffering including but not limited to destruction, fear, and instability, starvation, thirst, and poverty.
Since 471 days until now, we have been struggling to get proper food after prices increased by 15 to 20 times, struggling to have clean water for use and drinking.
After a long and tiring effort, my Tumblr account @olasfamily has been disabled, and I have to start over. I feel sad and lost, but I don’t want to face this journey alone. I kindly ask you to share and support us; every donation and every share means a lot to me in this difficult time. Please don’t leave me to face this challenge on my own.
I am writing to you as we struggle through very difficult conditions with winter approaching. The cold is becoming harsher by the day, and we lack the warm clothing needed to endure this freezing weather. We cannot afford to buy new clothes due to the steep rise in prices, and most of what we have is old and worn out.
We are longing to rebuild our shattered lives, and I can't do it without you. I need your support to complete my education and help my family rise from the ruins and find hope again.
You mean the world to us, now more than ever. Please, don’t let us down 💔
Please share and donate 🙏💔

I constantly remember you in my prayers.
(2 Timothy l:3)
There are times when we are in bad shape because of illness or life circumstances and we need the prayers of others to hold us up and encourage us. We may not even be able to pray on our own behalf because of our situation. That is when I believe, God calls Christians to pray on behalf of others. This kind of praying requires commitment on the part of the person doing the praying. It is not just a quick one time prayer, but rather a request that is brought before the Lord many times until the person being prayed for sees results.
Let’s remember to pray for others. It’s a great privilege to enter God’s presence and intercede for them. Our prayers may be the very thing that God will use to see them through their crisis.

7 Christian Solutions For When Doubts Creep In
Christian Doubts
Doubt is a natural part of the human experience, and for Christians, it can feel particularly challenging. Whether it stems from personal struggles, questions about faith, or external circumstances, doubting one's beliefs is not uncommon. However, navigating through these doubts can lead to a deeper understanding and a stronger faith. Here are several strategies that can help Christians address and overcome doubt.
1. Acknowledge Your Doubt
The first step in dealing with doubt is to acknowledge it. Ignoring or suppressing doubts can lead to confusion and frustration. Recognizing that it’s okay to question your faith allows you to confront these feelings honestly. Remember that many religious figures, including those in the Bible, grappled with doubt. This acknowledgment is a vital step toward growth.
2. Seek Understanding
Doubt often arises from a lack of understanding. Delve into scripture, study theological texts, or explore teachings from trusted pastors or mentors. Asking questions and seeking knowledge can help clarify uncertainties. Remember that faith does not require having all the answers; it often starts with curiosity and a desire to learn.
3. Pray and Meditate
Prayer can be an effective tool in overcoming doubt. Take time to communicate with God about your feelings and questions. You can seek guidance, clarity, and comfort. Meditation on scripture or the nature of God can also help center your thoughts and ease fears.
4. Engage in Community
Being part of a faith community can provide support during times of doubt. Share your feelings with trusted friends, family members, or a pastor. Hearing others' experiences and perspectives can illuminate your own situation and provide solidarity. Remember that you are not alone in your struggles.
5. Reflect on Past Experiences
Take time to reflect on past experiences when you faced doubt and how you overcame those challenges. Recognizing the ways you have grown can serve as a reminder of God's faithfulness. These reflections can provide encouragement and reinforce the truth of your beliefs.
6. Embrace Uncertainty
Faith inherently involves an element of uncertainty. Learning to coexist with doubt can help strengthen your faith. Embrace the notion that questions do not negate belief; rather, they can deepen it. Allow yourself to explore these uncertainties without fear, and recognize that growth often comes from grappling with difficult questions.
7. Focus on God’s Promises
Revisit the promises found in scripture regarding God’s love, faithfulness, and purpose. Meditating on these promises can provide comfort and reassurance. God’s truth is a firm foundation to rely on during times of uncertainty. Reflecting on His unwavering nature can help alleviate doubts.
Dealing with doubt as a Christian is an ongoing journey that many face. By acknowledging doubts, seeking understanding, engaging in prayer, and participating in community, you can navigate through these challenging times. Embrace the questions and uncertainties, knowing that they can ultimately lead to a deeper and more resilient faith. God is present in your doubt, guiding you towards a stronger relationship with Him. Remember, the journey of faith is not about having all the answers but rather about cultivating trust in God, even amidst uncertainty.
