The Light Dwells With Him!
by PJ
He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding! He reveals the deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him! (Dani'el / Daniel 2:21-23)
Why would ADONAI give wisdom to the wise? Why would ADONAI give knowledge to those who have understanding? What Daniel was saying was that G-d gives the capacity to enter into divine things to those who are spiritually wise and understand their vital necessity and reliance must be upon ADONAI.
G-d never puts to confusion those who fully trust Him. Throughout the ages, not one who has ever put their trust in ADONAI has been overcome! He is the Rock of Ages, our Yeshua'ti.
Wisdom comes when we make our case before ADONAI and expect, yes expect an answer. You won't expect an answer unless you are confident that G-d heard you and you can't know G-d heard you unless you have a relationship with Him. It is the faith that expects from G-d that obtains the result.
Natural knowledge, as we all have seen in this world, magnifies or puffs up the posessor. People who have great natural knowledge love to rely upon their degrees and titles. In contrast...the more a child of G-d learns, the more spiritual wisdom bestowed upon a child of G-d, the more that person realizes he or she doesn't know a thing. If a child of G-d begins to think himself wise, he will quickly learn he knows nothing. It has been my experience that the more I conduct myself as a child who knows very little compared to my Heavenly Father, the more He reveals to me what is hidden from the worldly wise and learned.
Recently I was doing something not pleasing before the Father. He didn't get angry and try to destroy me. He showed me the error and gave me a choice to go with life or with death in the situation. Now some people would have gotten angry with the L-rd, others would have gotten angry and began to beat themselves up, but I just said, "Thank you" and turned the way He directed me. I know it's dangerous to not obey my Father. Mishlei / Proverbs 9:9 "Give instruction to a wise man and he will be yet wiser; teach a righteous man (one upright and in right standing with God) and he will increase in learning."
Today with so many judgments happening throughout the earth, those walking in spiritual wisdom are discerning the intents of the L-rd and getting their houses in order. People are considering what G-d is saying and making changes in their ways of life. And yet, some are still blindly going on as if the L-rd is saying nothing at all.
A wise man builds his house upon the firm foundation of the Word of G-d. A man can build upon the wisdom of man but so far everything I have seen men do has lead to failure later down the road. Remember basic bread? Men "improved" it by taking out vitamins and adding the vitamins they thought it needed. And today we are full circle back to the whole grains. But a sad thing happened on the way. Men had such great earthly wisdom about wheat seed and re-engineered it until today there is no more original wheat seed in the earth. So can we take what men say as full of great wisdom? Or should we rely upon our Heavenly Father?
The Word of G-d is the firm foundation upon which we must build. We can't just hear the Word but we must act upon or be a doer of the Word. If you don't do the Word you have no oil in your vessel and without oil you have no light.
Men without light stumble. Men without light live in death. ha'satan is that way. Everything he touches dies. Everything he touches is cursed.
If men would but renounce their prideful ways and come to the L-rd! Only with G-d as one's vital necessity and source, can one walk in the light. As the Word says in 1 Corinthians 3:18, "Let no person deceive himself. If anyone among you supposes that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool (let him discard his worldly discernment and recognize himself as dull, stupid, and foolish, without true learning and scholarship), that he may become (really) wise."
ADONAI asked Job a question, Yob/Job 39:9 "Will the wild ox be willing to serve you, or remain beside your manger?" and yet many men wise in their own estimation operating in spiritual darkness, missed the King of Glory in a manger when He came. In contrast, approximately 2,000 years ago, wise men followed a light and encountered the King of Glory in a manger.
Romans 8:12 "Once more Yeshua addressed the crowd. He said, I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me will not be walking in the dark, but will have the Light which is Life."
