Good morning. From
Proverbs speaking of wisdom: I love those who love me; and those who diligently
seek me will find me. Remember that wisdom is what Solomon asked God for. Of
course this wisdom is through God, not through our own abilities. Otherwise we
can brag like certain political candidates. Riches and honor are with me,
enduring wealth and righteousness. As James talks about - the wisdom from above
is not like the wisdom of the world. It is pure, peaceable, gentle, reasonable,
full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy. As proverbs says
this wisdom from above brings riches and honor. It brings enduring wealth,
while the wisdom of the earth brings only temporary wealth. That kind of wealth
puffs one up. My fruit is better than gold, even pure gold, and my yield than
choicest silver. I walk in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths
of justice. If it's not righteous, it's not God's wisdom. To endow those who
love me with wealth , that I may fill their treasuries. Father thank You that the
reader seeks Your wisdom. You meet all of his/her needs and fill all of his/her
treasuries with wealth.

Good morning. While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing. Jesus was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men. Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. It doesn’t say, but I assume it is still during this time of the Passover. This man came to Jesus by night. Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do the signs that You do unless God is with him. It just said that the people believed in His name because of the signs He was doing; yet it does not say what those signs were. Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. That is why unbelievers cannot tell what is of the kingdom of God and what is not – they’re not born again. Nicodemus doesn’t have a clue. How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he? Unless one is born of water and the Spirit ...
