Be Unreasonably committed

Be Unreasonably Committed
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
– Proverbs 4:7-9

If you really want to get the wisdom of God, you'll have to do more than casually read the Scriptures a few minutes a day. You'll have to feed on them night and day. You'll have to get rid of the rubbish you've been feeding into your consciousness by reprogramming your mind with the Word of God.

"Oh, Brother Copeland," you may say, "that's unreasonable!"

Yes it is. But consider this: A music major in college practices for hours every day. Olympic skaters spend six to eight hours a day training for their routines. They do it because they're unreasonably committed to their goals.

The same is true for you. If you're going to achieve the kind of spiritual excellence you're hungry for, you're going to have to be unreasonably committed to the Word of God.

That may well mean that you'll have to carry a tape player around with you everywhere you go. It may mean that you'll have your razor in one hand and your tape player in the other or a tape player in one hand and a fork in the other.

Do whatever it takes to totally saturate yourself with the Word of God. I would speak to you no differently if I were your commanding officer about to send you into combat against the best trained elite troops of a savage enemy.

You are God's frontline assault force. You have an enemy who is doing his dead-level best to destroy you. In this crucial, all-out, no-holds-barred offensive, Satan will dispatch hell's choicest personnel to bring you down. If you're going to make it through in victory, you're going to have to put yourself in training.

Be unreasonably committed. Get wisdom.

Scripture Reading: Proverbs 1:7-33

I have more then a dozen versions of the bible on my phone. They are great and coupled with Google and bible hub I can find things quickly. That is good HOWEVER nothing beats sitting down with a real book copy and reading and marking in the pages. It just seems so right.

The Bottom line is this scripture.
Out of the Abundance of the heart - the mouth does speak.

God's word can not come out in abundance and be your first words if it is Not First in your heart in abundance. This means WORK. Lots and Lots and Lots of Work getting God's Word in you in abundance.

That's an environment where Faith can Flourish.

Being a saint does requires homework. the Bible says all scripture is god-breathed and is useful in instruction, conviction and correction for training in righteousness.

The Bible is YOUR bible.

The tv is not your bible. The newspaper is not your bible, nor the womens weekly or GQ or playboy magazine. Not even Edmonds cookbook. Neither is Facebook, the mirror, google, or your big sister.

If you need wisdom you need to ask for it from Above. And He will give it to you IN His word which is the Bible.
