The word for today is - Knowledge!

Good morning,

The word for today is - Knowledge!

 

The word “knowledge” in the Bible denotes an understanding, a recognition, or an acknowledgment. To “know” something is to perceive it or to be aware of it. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. If people are ignorant of the word they are of no use to the Kingdom of God. For it is written in Proverbs 20:11,"Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure and whether it be right." Young people prepare themselves for life's responsibilities through the discipline they receive at home.  Let's look at Dr.Martin Luther King Jr.each time we renew our commitment to resolving conflicts nonviolently, we honor Dr. King's legacy. Dr. King was leading a major struggle to eliminate racial segregation and discrimination in the South.His workers felt proud that they could contain their violence and learn not to hate their enemies.  Dr. King was a Christian minister and his turn-the-other-cheek philosophy represented some of the best principles for creating harmony among all people, regardless of race or religion. Young people today can learn from King that nonviolent protest and participation in the democratic process are the best means of bringing about change. From Dr. King's teachings, many of us realize that nonviolence is the best approach to resolving conflict. Dr. King understood better than most people that violence only begets more violence. To honor this legacy of nonviolence today in our lives help our children avoid violence by acknowledging their anger. Help them learn constructive ways of dealing with strong emotions.Children learn methods of resolving differences from us, and how we manage conflict within our family.Celebrate Black History Month with your children this February, and spend some extra time learning about the extraordinary accomplishments of African-Americans.The 20th century saw some of the most profound changes in human history. We know from Scripture that knowledge is a gift from God. Read Proverbs 2:6,tells us that, For the Lord giveth wisdom out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.  Do you know that the knowledge of God is the most valuable knowledge a human being can possess. God’s desire is for all to know Him, appreciate Him, and have a relationship with Him; therefore, He grants to all who truly seek Him the wisdom that leads to knowledge. Increasing in the knowledge of God is part of Christian maturity and is something all believers are to experience read 2 Peter 3:18, But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and SaviourJesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever.Amen.If anyone attempts to take anything away from this unveiling of God, and thereby tries to change what has been given to us through the word (Inspiration), then that person is guilty of trying to create a god in their own image and does not therefore know God intimately. The word tells us in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” Not some, but all ! Thank you God for your word. Amen !
