Free

Love you all, praying for you,
 
Don’t you just love free stuff!  Sometimes on facebook marketplace some things are listed as Free.  Curbside pickup.  How many things in life are free?  Not many.  And some things are free for a reason.  Typically you get what you pay for.  They say the best things in life are free.  Like a sunrise, a smile, and a flower in full bloom.  Some things are free, but they cost a lot, like a free puppy.  Nothing really is free, it cost somebody something.  Even the sunrise, free to you, but God worked to create it, and He sustains it.  As long as the earth remains, the sun will rise in the morning, and the seasons will change, right on time.  The most important things in life.  Salvation, and the filling of the Holy Spirit.  Free to you, but they cost Jesus His life.  Actually Salvation requires your life as well, but so well worth it.  Nothing can compare.  To believe in Christ as your Savior – means to walk in Him, and obey like He did.  It costs you your life, your own ideas, opinions, preferences, and your own plans.  The good news is, none of these matter compared with His plans for you!  They are infinitely better, as high as the heavens are higher than the earth.  There is another thing that’s free, but costs you to experience it.  Wisdom.  God gives wisdom right there in Proverbs.  It’s available for everybody, but not everybody gets it.  Only those with ears to hear, and a heart to obey.  Praying that will be you today.  Praying that you will get wisdom from God, and along with wisdom, that you will receive insight, discernment, and guidance.  You need all of them.  And they are available for you – by the Holy Spirit – right through the book of Proverbs.  Wisdom is the right use of knowledge, insight is a view from inside, an understanding of wisdom.  Discernment is the ability to distinguish what is wisdom and what is not.  And guidance, is the gift of God – in the best application of wisdom, step by step at the perfect time.  God has all of these things for you.  You need it.  They aren’t free.  They will cost you something.  Humility, and the laying down of what you think – to do what God thinks, and what He says.  If you do.  You’re life will be ridiculously blessed.  And you will be free.  Free from sin, and foolishness, and the other plans for you – other than God’s.  His are way better.  Praying that you will be free today.  And that you will be willing to pay whatever price God requires, to walk in what He freely gives you. 
 
Love you all,
