FROM THE KEYBOARD

True wisdom doesn’t start with education, experience, or intellect, it starts with reverence for God. When we see Him as He is--holy, powerful, and sovereign--our perspective changes. You see, wisdom isn’t just about knowing facts; it’s about knowing the One who holds the facts. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding" (Proverbs 9:10).

Deception doesn’t just mislead, it multiplies to metastasize. Like cancer, falsehood spreads unless confronted with truth. That’s why it’s critical to guard your heart, guard your home, and guard the Gospel. "And their message will spread like cancer..." (2 Timothy 2:17).

Build your life on the rock of God’s Word, not the sinking sand of the doctrines of man. You see, those who build on sand often keep their head in the sand, completely unaware that their foundation is crumbling. And when the winds of life come, those sandcastles fall hard. Therefore, build upon the Rock and you won't get rocked. "But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand" (Matthew 7:26).

What you feed your mind shapes your life. If you fill it with anxiety, you’ll carry worry. If you fill it with lies, you’ll live deceived. But if you fill it with truth, you’ll walk in freedom. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32).

When life feels unstable, anchor yourself in what’s unshakable — God’s Word. As the storms of life rage, His truth holds firm like an anchor to the soul. Because hope isn’t found in perfect circumstances — it’s found in a perfect Savior. "This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast..." (Hebrews 6:19).

True wisdom begins with reverence for God, while rejecting His instruction leads to folly. Relying on our own understanding risks leading us astray. So let us trust the Lord with all our heart — not trust our heart as lord. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5).
