Are you applying the wisdom PRINCIPLES from the book (The Bible) that cannot lie?
What is a PRINCIPLE?
Define: Spiritual principles are the path laid out for experiencing our lives free of unnecessary suffering, with strength and resilience to experience the pain and fear that must be walked through as a part of life.
When God speaks to you through His Word, he is talking to the real you, YOUR SPIRIT man. This is who should dominate your flesh NOT the other way around.
The born again believer’s job is to make our heads (will, emotions, intellect and imaginations) conform to the complete will of God by renewing our minds daily with the Word of Truth that is able to heal the dark, unhealed places in us. Only then can one recover himself from what the enemy has planned for them. So jot down what you give most of your attention to. (e.g. internet, news, gossip, bible intake only and no time with unbelievers sharing your life like Jesus and his disciples did, or foolishness avoiding every kind of evil that teaches us to live contrary to the teachings of Christ)
Let’s learn some wisdom for today and life…
- Work hard, and you will have a lot of food; waste time, and you will have a lot of trouble. [Proverbs 28:11]
Diligence in life is the key to wealth. It is not how much you make it is learning the purpose of prosperity that you have been entrusted with by God. People who say that there is no God are fools. The five different types of fools are the naïve, the stubborn, the sensual (selfish), the scorner (cynical), and the steadfast (downright mean.) We are all fools in one way or another. Thankfully, God gives counsel to each type of fool in the Bible.

Get wisdom

- Dad, are you listening? Remember, we teach by example. Our actions speak much louder than our words. Are you listening to your children? Do you take the time to listen to what they have to say?
Be careful who your friends are
The father or mentor warns his children about the destructive ways of those in the world. He tells his children to stay as far away from sin as possible.
Guard your heart
It is only by God’s Word that we can keep our hearts pure. It is only by God’s Word that we can keep from sin. Dads and mentors, teach your children to be students of the Bible by being a student of the Bible yourself.
Watch your words
Listen more than you speak. What are you saying about yourself? What have you been saying about others? Examine if your words corresponding with your everyday actions.
Stay focused
Mentors teach us to stay focused. There are many distractions in our world today that want to take you off course. Do not leave your commitment for a cute face and a small waist, a big butt and a smile, a woman with a big rack or get addicted or whupped by her pleasure, porn etc.
