God does not want His children to walk in darkness as the people of this world do. We are children of light and God tells us to “walk as children of light.” The Bible says,
Do not live your lives as though there is no God.
The Bible says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” (Proverbs 9:10)
To fear God means to continually be aware that we live in God’s presence all the times, to remember God is supreme and to honor Him as our God. We will not displease Him or grieve Him. You will no longer be so concerned about what others may think of you or how they remark you. What you are concerned of is how to please the Lord.
“So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him ” (II Corinthians 5:9)
Our God is all-wise. All the true wisdom comes from Him. God delights to give His wisdom to all those who come to Him and ask for it. The Bible says,
“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him”(James 1:5 )
We are constantly being exposed to the thoughts, ideas, and values of the world. Before we were saved, we accepted the ways of the world. Consequently our minds were filled with many wrong thoughts and ideas. To get rid of them, we have to renew our mind with the words of God. The Bible says,
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” (Romans 12:2)
“Renewing” our minds means replacing wrong thoughts and ideas in our minds with God’s truth and words and we will be transformed to be more like Lord Jesus.
“You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32)
Being wise means choosing what God wants us to do and do what pleases God only.
“If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.” (John 13:17)
