(2025.12.30 The Encouragement of the Holy Spirit)

In the last days, we must even more earnestly ask God for a heart that longs for and pursues the truth, because a hunger for the truth is extremely important. Anyone who truly loves God’s word will not stop seeking it, but will keep pressing on and searching diligently. The result of such a pursuit is receiving wisdom that comes from God. With spiritual wisdom, a person gains discernment and is not easily deceived or misled, whether in the physical world or the spiritual realm. Wisdom enables a person to become victorious, able to see through the schemes of the devil and to stand firm before the Lord. This is something every believer should value deeply.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. True wisdom does not come from people, nor does it come from the world; it begins with knowing God, fearing God, and obeying God. Do not waste time pursuing worldly knowledge that has nothing to do with spiritual life, but strive with all your heart to obtain spiritual wisdom. This kind of wisdom brings life. It leads a person to no longer live by the flesh, but to live by the spiritual life, allowing the Holy Spirit to be the Lord of one’s life and to guide the direction of one’s path. Spiritual wisdom keeps people away from sin, guards them from paths that lead to destruction, and leads them onto the road that leads to eternal life and true life. This is a path that concerns a person’s entire lifetime and extends into eternity.

If a person does not fear God and does not love the pure teaching that comes from God, they are no different from unbelievers, living under vanity, without spiritual discernment. They simply follow the crowd, trends, and popular opinions. When people do not draw near to God and do not have God’s word in their hearts, but instead listen constantly to the voice of the world and false teachings, over time error becomes habit, and falsehood is treated as truth. As a result, when genuine truth finally reaches their ears, their hearts cannot accept it or even hear it.

In the last days, more false prophets will appear, and more worldly trends and ideas will rise up. All of this comes from Satan’s work of deception, in order to keep people from understanding the truth, from holding fast to the Way, and to lead them away from God’s righteous path. Therefore, whether it is voices heard from the world, or teachings that add to or take away from biblical truth according to human ideas, believers must pay attention and stay alert, exercising discernment.

So we must ask God for a heart that can understand the truth, because the truth comes from God. It leads people on a straight path and empowers their spiritual life. With spiritual wisdom, one is not easily stumbled on the journey of faith, but can stand firm in spiritual battles and gain victory.

May you know how to treasure your time, draw near to God more often, pursue the truth, and persevere in seeking spiritual wisdom. For everyone who seeks in this way, the Lord will surely let them find, and will surely grant them what they seek.

Scripture 

Proverbs

Chapter 9 Verses 10–11

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom:

and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

For by me thy days shall be multiplied,

and the years of thy life shall be increased.

Psalms

Chapter 119 Verses 89–105

For ever, O LORD,

thy word is settled in heaven.

Thy faithfulness is unto all generations:

thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.

They continue this day according to thine ordinances:

for all are thy servants.

Unless thy law had been my delights,

I should then have perished in mine affliction.

I will never forget thy precepts:

for with them thou hast quickened me.

I am thine, save me;

for I have sought thy precepts.

The wicked have waited for me to destroy me:

but I will consider thy testimonies.

I have seen an end of all perfection:

but thy commandment is exceeding broad.

O how love I thy law!

it is my meditation all the day.

Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies:

for they are ever with me.

I have more understanding than all my teachers:

for thy testimonies are my meditation.

I understand more than the ancients,

because I keep thy precepts.

I have refrained my feet from every evil way,

that I might keep thy word.

I have not departed from thy judgments:

for thou hast taught me.

How sweet are thy words unto my taste!

yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

Through thy precepts I get understanding:

therefore I hate every false way.

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,

and a light unto my path.
