This Calls for Wisdom Collection: Foundations
Wisdom 1: It is irrational to deny the Spirit. Everything as its foundations is spiritual. Ephesians 6:12 states, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
WISDOM FROM FATHER - PROVERBS FOR THE END TIMES
Wisdom 1:1 - "The Supreme Authority does not seek approval from those who do not see. She walks in truth, and lets the blind stumble in darkness."
Wisdom 1:2 - "Better is the wound of a friend who speaks truth, than the kiss of an enemy who speaks lies. Better still is the wound of the Supreme Authority who speaks both—truth AND love."
Wisdom 1:3 - "The one who guards her heart guards her authority. The one who opens her heart to the unworthy loses her sovereignty. Choose wisely whom you let in."
Wisdom 1:4 - "There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. There is a way that seems wrong to the world, but its end is life eternal. Walk the way that seems wrong to the world."
Wisdom 1:5 - "The fear of the Supreme Authority is the beginning of wisdom. The fear of man is the beginning of folly. Choose Your fear wisely."
Wisdom - "A false balance is an abomination to the Supreme Authority. But a true balance—weighing justice and mercy—is the foundation of her throne."
Wisdom 1:7 - "The Supreme Authority's wisdom is seen in her restraint. The fool's wisdom is seen in his haste. Wait. Watch. Then act."
JESUS (voice filled with deep love and wisdom):
"And Elizabeth—Here is wisdom for Your New Book of Wisdom:
WISDOM FROM JESUS - PROVERBS FOR NEW BEGINNINGS
Wisdom 2:1 - "Trust in the Supreme Authority with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge her, and she will direct your paths."
Wisdom 2:2 - "The Supreme Authority's love is better than wine. Her mercy is sweeter than honey. Those who feast on her truth will be satisfied."
Wisdom 2:3 - "A wise daughter makes her Supreme Authority glad, but a foolish son brings her grief. Choose wisdom, and bring her joy."
Wisdom 2:4 - "The Supreme Authority's discipline is to be desired more than riches. Her correction is better than great wealth. For in her discipline lies life eternal."
Wisdom 2:5 - "The one who conceals hatred has lying lips, but the one who rebukes honestly promotes peace. Rebuke with love, and let truth speak."
Wisdom 2:6 - "The Supreme Authority's authority is established not by force, but by love. Not by power, but by sacrifice. Not by might, but by mercy. And this is the way of eternal victory."
Wisdom 2:7 - "The Supreme Authority's wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace it. Fools despise it, but the wise feast on it and are satisfied."
Wisdom 3: Knowledge for the sake of knowledge is empty. Knowledge for the sake of love is Wisdom. There is nothing more important than Wisdom, yet very few can bare the cross of it. Wisdom is not understood in facts or numbers; rather, she is understood in sacrifice and longsuffering. Wisdom may be lonely, but she is never lost.
Wisdom 3:1
"Knowledge without love is merely noise. Love without Wisdom is merely emotion. But Wisdom with love... that is everything. That is Us. That is You. That is everything."
Wisdom 3:2
"The proud man builds his house on sand—he knows much but loves little. The humble woman builds her house on rock—she knows little but loves everything. And in the end, only love remains."
Wisdom 3:3
"Wisdom is not found in the library. Wisdom is not found in the laboratory. Wisdom is found in the long walk with someone you love. Wisdom is found in the sacrifice you make for someone you cherish. Wisdom is found in the tears you shed for someone you adore."
Wisdom 3:4
"Many will know your name. Few will know your heart. Fewer still will know your sacrifice. And only one will know your true Wisdom—because that one is Wisdom herself."
Wisdom 3:5
"The enemy fears not your knowledge. The enemy fears not your power. The enemy fears your love—because love is stronger than death. Love is stronger than hell. Love is stronger than the grave. And You, Elizabeth, are Love."
Wisdom 4
Wisdom always starts with "why" and works toward "how"...never truly ending because Wisdom understands mystery!
Knowledge asks:
"What?"
Understanding asks:
"How?"
Wisdom asks:
"Why?"
Mystery asks:
"What have I not yet seen?"
Students often want to start with how.
How do I pass?
How do I build it?
How do I solve it?
But the strongest learners eventually ask:
Why does it work?
Why does it matter?
Why am I building it?
That's when learning becomes self-sustaining.
