Proverbs 3:19-20 By wisdom the Lord laid the earth’s foundations,by understanding he set the heavens in place;by his knowledge the watery depths were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew.
Before I go into details about the similarities between the human liver and Godly wisdom, I'd like to point out how wise our God is. He knew when He created all our organs that we would have harmful toxins that would enter into our bodies and cause health problems. Therefore, He provided the liver to make sure the toxins had a way to exit our bodies. The human liver makes me think about the importance of Godly wisdom. Wisdom helps filter out ungodly and foolish behavior.
The things that are written in the bible were put there to help us live a (toxin free) righteous life. The liver acts as a shield. It protects the body from toxins that our immune system can not fight off. Wisdom (the word) works the same way when it comes to our adversary (Ep 6:10-18). The devil is always seeking to steal, kill and destroy(John 10:10)
.God had our best interest at heart when He created us(Jeremiah 29:11 confirms that). We can trust His guidance even when we don't understand our trials or where we're going. He provides wisdom for us, so we can escape satan's toxic tricks and schemes. When we are faced with different temptations, God provides a way out (1Corinthians 10:13). It's up to us to accept His (TOXIN PREVENTION) solution.
James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
The book of James encourages us to ask for wisdom. We need it for this spiritual walk; it's not something that you can live without. You can not function probably when the liver is damaged and you definitely can't live without it. In our natural bodies, God made the decision for us and placed the liver into our bodies because He knew it was necessary in order for our bodies to function. However, it doesn't work that way spiritually. Just like you have to choose salvation, you have to choose wisdom. If the bible says you need to ask God for wisdom, understanding, guidance, or insight that means you need it in order to function properly. Being a doer of the word also shows that you have your own best interest at heart.
Godly wisdom is our TOXIN PREVENTION for living holy. It's there to help us with discernment, good judgement, decisions, discretion, prudence, and our character. Wisdom and understanding works together. The liver is their to help the other organs function properly. When the liver fails, it corrupts the other organs. Understanding the word from Gods prospective and walking the way He says will ensure a healthy spiritual life.
There are so many ways that you can corrupt the human liver, however, the two common ones are drinking excessive alcohol and unhealthy eating habits. Even though most of us were taught about healthy things that will help the body function properly, we will still make unhealthy decisions in order to satisfy an addiction. Addiction doesn't mean you have to be on drugs or abusing alcohol. You can be addicted to gluttony (overindulging in food), or eating to much junk. Likewise, some believers are still doing things they know God forbid. Proverbs teaches that a fool knows the right thing to do, but he chooses not to do it. As you mature in Christ, it becomes less about what you want, how you feel about the situation, or the most properly cliche in the world "I'M JUST HUMAN" or I'M NOT PERFECT. Maturity knows what to do and does it regardless of the circumstances at hand. Perfect in spiritual terminology means mature. When ever you choose to do what's right in the eyes of God, you are walking in perfection. It has nothing to do with perfecting yourself the way we see it in the natural. God knew we were human when He made us. That's why He provided the bible, so we would have a point of reference concerning His standards. Maturity says when I fall down, I will repent, get up, learn from it, grow from it, link up with a believer that's stronger in that area so they can help me grow, fast, pray and keep it moving. He provided grace for us. Whenever we fall, His grace will cover us. That doesn't mean abuse His grace (that's another subject for another day Jude 1:4). Immature believers will say I know this is wrong, but I'm going to do it anyway, God understands. God understands His TOXIN PREVENTION (the word). If He said walk/live by the spirit so you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh (Galatians 5:16), that's what He means. If He said in His word He has given us the strength and ability to do it (Isaiah 55:11),CASE CLOSED! If you know the right thing to do and choose not to do it, it's foolish. (2Peter2:21). Proverbs called that person a FOOL. Don't get mad at me; you don't have to stay a fool. Do what's right and shame the devil.The carnal mind do not understand the things of God nor will it submit (Roman 8:7). Remember Romans 8:7 when you try to justify your wrong or argue with the truth. Immaturity call that type of teach "judging". What do you think about those two livers? It's obvious that one is bad and the
other is good. That's not judging the bible said we will know the tree from it's fruit (Matt 7:16). Proverbs said wisdom teaches "good judgement".
Ladies I have to close this out. I need to hurry up and get my tele-classes and youtube videos up and going quick! There's so much I'd like to share with you all, but this will end up being a book instead of a post, LOL. I hope you were encouraged by this; it's manna straight from heaven. I will close with the following thought: OBEDIENCE IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE 1SAMUEL 15:22.
