There are
some things that will not be resolved until heaven.
And when the Lord says that, He
means it. There are misunderstandings you may or may not be allowed
to resolve during time, but that is not your problem.
Often, a Soldier of the Cross is
tempted to be distracted by an immediate issue that is painful.
It is usually a dissagreement, false accusation, or missed award
that itches to be resolved, because the flesh wants so much to
be understood and agreed with now.
Wisdom will not elude the available
Soldier.
In fact, as the verse says, "Wisdom
calls out in the intersection" and if the Soldier is available,
he can easily see if is his itch that calls, rather than
the Holy Spirit in the role of lubricating Peacemaker.
When we want His way more than
anything, we have the power and skill to release the issue until
He deems it ripe.
One thing that is rare in all the
earth is Wisdom's timing - His is vastly different than cleverness'
timing.
If you regularly tell your children
they are physically attractive and lead them to believe it is
important, they will not be wise until they have suffered much.
Youth and beauty are almost never wise, and they have no discernment
about priorities. One of the disasterous effects of vanity is
haste and an insecurity that ruptures when other ares are challenged.
There is a dimension that is is
so delicate and precious, it cannot be accessed until some things
that seem important to us are put away, or at least fully
turned over to the One who allowed them in the first place.
The Bible says we must guard each
word. the Bible says we must bring our thoughts into subjection
and have disciplined minds. The Bible says many things that do
not penetrate our hearts until we learn to put away personal
agenda.
Only then can we walk in the Light.
Only then can we see Jesus.
