Walk With Me: Who is wise among you? Let them come and share their Wisdom

I am VERY wise according to my friends and family in my home and work, but sometimes, I can take my wisdom a little too far:
Consider the verses below found in 1 Kings 4:
God gave Solomon wisdom and very great insight, and a breadth of understanding as measureless as the sand on the seashore.[30] Solomon’s wisdom was greater than the wisdom of all the people of the East, and greater than all the wisdom of Egypt.[31] He was wiser than anyone else, including Ethan the Ezrahite—wiser than Heman, Kalkol and Darda, the sons of Mahol. And his fame spread to all the surrounding nations.[32] He spoke three thousand proverbs and his songs numbered a thousand and five.[33] He spoke about plant life, from the cedar of Lebanon to the hyssop that grows out of walls. He also spoke about animals and birds, reptiles and fish.[34] From all nations people came to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, sent by all the kings of the world, who had heard of his wisdom. - (1 Kings 4:29-34)

But, if you look closely, you can see another side:
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. - (James 1:5)

But, from the beginning, we need to realize something: 
“For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”[6] When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.[7] Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. - (Genesis 3:5-7)

So, here's the deal. I am trying not to be more wise than I am foolish at times. But, as you get to know me, you will understand how I do things in bible study as I dig deeper into God's Holy Scriptures. 

One more example: 
“See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,[3] and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills—[4] to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, - (Exodus 31:2-4)

Lesson on the saying: A word to the wise; that accusation is false and against God's Perfect will for our lives. Don't meddle in; meditate on His Word! I triple DARE you too!

Blessings!

Ser honesto, una escala honesta o deshonesta

Confesaré que no he sido honesto con mi dinero y recursos.
Esto significa que no he estado corriendo detrás de Jesús y corriendo tras posesiones materiales y cosas así.
Esto puede y hará daño a mi caminata espiritual con mi Salvador. Si no tengo cuidado, podría convertirse en un ídolo y, según la Biblia, esto se llama idolatría.
Levítico deja claro que no debemos adorar a un ídolo porque debemos adorar al único Dios verdadero.
A través de la Biblia, Dios nos llama a amarlo sin importar cuál sea el costo. De hecho, en Mateo, Marcos y Lucas, Jesús nos llama a recoger nuestra cruz diariamente y seguirle completamente. ¿Qué quiere decir?
Todos los días nos despertamos y decimos a Jesús que vamos a negarnos a nosotros mismos y estar dispuestos a morir en ese concepto de vida.
A continuación nos comprometemos a seguirlo sin importar el costo que pagó por lo que no tenemos que hacerlo.
Finalmente, contamos a otros acerca de Cristo y su obra en la cruz por sus pecados para que puedan ser perdonados y liberados al recibirlo como Señor y Salvador.
Debido a nuestro mundo ya nuestra sociedad actual, todavía es posible venir a la cruz y recibir a Jesús como Señor Jesús.

Being Honest on honest versus dishonest scales

I will confess I have not been honest with my money and resources.
This means I have not been running after Jesus and running after material possessions and stuff. 
This can and will hurt my spiritual walk with my Savior. If I am not careful, it could become an idol and according to the bible, this is called idolatry. 
Leviticus makes it clear that we are to not worship an idol for we are to worship the one true God. 
Throughout the bible, God calls us to love him no matter what the cost is. In fact, in Matthew, Mark and Luke, Jesus calls us to pick up our cross daily and follow him completely. What does he mean? 
Everyday we wake up and say to Jesus that we are going to deny ourself and be willing to die in that concept of life. 
Next we commit to follow him regardless of the cost which he paid so we don't have to. 
Finally, we tell others about Christ and his work on the cross for their sins so that they can be forgiven and set free by receiving him as Lord and Savior. 
Becaus of our world and society today, it is still possible to come to the cross and receive Jesus as Lord Jesus. 

Hope you have a great day and God bless!
