Those who trust their own insight are foolish, but anyone who walks in wisdom is safe.
– Proverbs 28:26(NLT)
WHEN YOU WALK IN WISDOM
A poem and essay by ILMA
Those who believe only in their own insight
They are in for trouble in this life
When you walk in wisdom
You will always have freedom.
Pursue wisdom and you will be safe
Turn your back on it and you will fail
Always run to the truth that comes from Christ
Then you will always have the best insight.

There are many people who want to know a lot of things. The big irony is that the more they crave for the things of this world, the more they get in bondage to pride. I know a lot of people who love to accumulate information and boast about it to others. They never give due credit to the Lord who gave them all. It is the Lord who is the source of all knowledge and without him, we cannot thrive and be safe.
There were many years of my life that I relied on my own insight. I wanted to prove to most people that I had it all and that the intelligence I had was something I worked hard for. I never acknowledged the Lord for all that I knew. When I became born again, I was given truth which made me learn humility and granted wisdom from his word.

EMBRACE WISDOM & INSIGHT
March 27________________________________________
Love wisdom like a sister; make insight a beloved member of your family.
-Proverbs 7:4(NLT)
EMBRACE WISDOM & INSIGHT
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you embrace wisdom in your life
You’ll thrive over struggles and never lose sight
When you have an insight to God’s goodness
He will lead you to walk in his righteousness.
Embrace insight and love wisdom like a sister
When you invite them, they will make your life better
Have a dose of wisdom and understanding from Jesus
Be intimate with him and he’ll show you how to be righteous.

Family is an integral part of a person’s life. A family can make or break a person. You may choose to leave your family if they are toxic but you can never change the fact that you are part of them. Our family is our root or foundation. If the family is not anchored on Jesus, they will not be firmly standing through all the trials and adversities in life. On the other hand, if your family is fixed on living a life for Christ, you will be blessed with favors and gifts from the Lord himself.
The bible tells us to embrace wisdom and insight like a beloved member of our family. By doing so, we will be guided accordingly when we encounter difficulties and challenging circumstances in our lives. The absence of it makes us an easy prey to the enemy.

BELIEVE EVEN WHEN YOU DON’T SEE Poem Devotional
March 4________________________________________
Don’t be faithless any longer. Believe. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me. – John 20:27,29 (NLT)
BELIEVE EVEN WHEN YOU DON’T SEE
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you have a hard time believing when you don’t see?
Worrying and anxiety doesn’t allow you to be free
Faith is having the confidence that what you hope for will transpire
It is believing despite not knowing how to get what you aspire.
Don’t be faithless any longer, believe and you will be blessed
Trust Jesus and you will find peace, joy and rest
It is when you don’t see that he brings you a miracle
Continue to be faithful and he will remove obstacles.

There are three different ways people learn according to Neil Fleming. Most people are a combination of visual, auditory or kinesthetic learners. About 65% of people are mainly visual learners, in that they easily pick up information with their eyes. Visual learners often associate the things they learn with the images they saw when they first learned the material. So, don’t feel bad if you are like Thomas who doubted that Jesus has resurrected. According an author of a book I read on grieving, we need a little doubt to grow our faith.
God grew my faith when I bargained with him in the past. He showed me that he knows what is best for me because my vision was limited.
PRAYER
Lord, let my heart see where my eyes cannot.
REFLECTION
Share a faith experience that grew your belief in God.
