For the first 35 years of my life I lived by the wisdom of this
world. But that was not surprising since
I did not know the Lord Jesus Christ.
Oh, what a difference a “meeting” does make!
DAY 79
East Meets West!
Let no man deceive
himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must
become foolish, so that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is
foolishness before God. For it is written, “He is the one who catches the wise in their craftiness”; and
again, “The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are useless.” --I Corinthians
3:18-20
Those in India say
it, and it is an obvious truth: If you go east long enough you will find
yourself west, and likewise, if you go west long enough you will find yourself
east. Maybe those in the West have yet to travel far enough east, and those in
the East have not traveled far enough west. Eastern Religion, in the absence of
fact, draws pictures. There never was a boy with an elephant head, and drawing
it does not make it so. Please, travel a bit further to the West. On the other
hand, no one in the East would question the existence of God, and when I say that Jesus
spoke to me, no one questions it, for God must be alive. However, in the West,
many have yet to believe that there is evidence of a God, and to say one has
heard Him is to border on insanity. Those in the West need to travel a little
more to the East. In the East miracles are an accepted part of life, and yet they have opened
the door to the false and the deceiving. In the West, those without an inner awareness that Jesus is
actually alive and active IN them seek miracles OUTSIDE them as proof
that He exists. Move east a little and discover the greatest miracle: Christ can dwell within a
believer. In the West it is believed that the flower must be dissected
in order for man to understand it, and yet that destroys the beauty. In the
East the flower must simply be smelled. In the West a bridge made out of water
is unthinkable; in the East many have walked on ice across a great river. In Christ, East meets West; the facts of the earth and the
faith of heaven blend perfectly without conflict. In Him everything created on
the earth and in the heavens merges without contradiction. This place
many believe is impossible to find, the place where East meets West, is not a place but the person of Jesus!

Today I live by the wisdom of God.
How? Searching the Scriptures for
“Life Verses” that give me His wisdom and that bring Life (His Life) to my
life. Simple.
And every one of those scriptures takes me to one place…no, One
Person…Jesus Christ. And show me His
Life living through me. Well, amen. I enjoy Him and His Life! Beautiful!
