There is no material thing that can be compared with true wisdom. I’ve learnedthat walking in wisdom is one of the best things in life that we can do. We must makeseeking wisdom our business. The Bible lets us know that wisdom will keep us fromthe ways of wicked men (Proverbs 2:12), the man who finds wisdom is blessed(Proverbs 3:13) and that wisdom will protect us (Proverbs 4:6). Who wouldn’t want a treasure like wisdom?For the past 30 years, my wife, Dr. Betty, has held the Wisdom From AboveLuncheons where she shares how she’s learned to walk in God’s Word throughout her life. She is definitely one woman who knows how to take hold of the God’s prom-ises and apply them to her life. For those of you who can’t make it to the luncheon,her wisdom is readily available in her new book, Wisdom From Above, Vol. 2:Grow in Godliness. This issue of themagazine features an excerpt from thenew book. I trust that you will be encour-aged to seek after wisdom after reading the article.In this issue, I am also sharing a very personal testimony of how I had to fight against an attack on my body, Yes, eventhe Apostle of Faith has to continue fight-ing. Never take off your spiritual armor because the battle is always on.I also want to take this time to say how humbled I am at being named The Apostle of Faith at this year’s FICWFM meeting. What an awesome time we had inthe Lord. It wasn’t the title so much as it was the outpouring of love that was shownto my family and I from a host of people both far and near. I look back over my lifeand know without a doubt that walking with God leads to blessing after blessing.Proverbs 3:13- 18 says:Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding;For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver, And her gain than fine gold.She is more precious than rubies, And all the things you may desire cannot compare with her.Length of days is in her right hand,In her left hand riches and honor.Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace.She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, And happy are all who retain her.May you continually walk in wisdom—and enjoy thehappiness that God is waiting for you to have.
“The mouth of the righteous man utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks what is just.
—Psalm 37:30
