for us!
Who’s Writing Your Story?
Andrew
Wommack
What if I told you that your whole life is
written down in a book?
Not only that, it was written before you were
born. It’s true!
Psalm 139:16 says, “Your
eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in Your book were all written the
days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one
of them” (New American Standard Bible, emphasis mine).
The life ordained for you is the same as the
perfect will of God.
Romans 12:2 says, “And
do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your
mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and
acceptable and perfect” (NASB).
This shows a progression in the will of God from good
to acceptable to perfect.
The question is this: How do we know the perfect
will of God? Well, it’s not that mysterious.
It takes renewing your mind in the Word of God
to know His perfect will. But it requires wisdom to build His will into your
life.
The following proverb refers to wives and
mothers building their homes, but the principle applies to everyone:
“The wise woman builds her
house, but the foolish tears it down with her own hands.” Proverbs 14:1, NASB
A wise person builds their life, but a foolish
one tears it down with their own hands. Wow!
The operative word here is “wise.”
Proverbs 4:7 says, “Wisdom
is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get
understanding.”
Not only can you renew your mind in the Word to
find out what that is, but you can also ask Him for the wisdom to carry it out.
Be teachable to the spirit of wisdom if you need
to make course corrections.
“Turn you at my reproof:
behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto
you.” Proverbs 1:23, King James Version
Of course, we have the freedom to choose our own
way, and God will still love us.
God’s love for us does not depend on what we do.
But God wants to make His plans known.
If we want to fulfill the days ordained for us,
we need to seek wisdom as the principal thing and build our lives after the
book He wrote for us.
What better place to start that journey than
through studying the book of Proverbs!
Start
this new year out right with Andrew’s newest book Proverbs: Timeless Wisdom for a Life of Blessing.
This commentary will help you dig deeper into the book of Proverbs and take you
on the path of wisdom to live the life especially tailored for you. Get the
book and study on your own or follow along with Andrew on the Gospel
Truth broadcast.

and I are so thankful that our paths have crossed with yours. In fact, we
believe it was a divine appointment. Over fifty years ago, an encounter with
God changed our lives forever, and we believe that He’ll do the same for you.
We consider it a privilege to have the opportunity to share the truth of His
life-changing power and grace with you.
God
called us to teach the truth of the gospel to the body of Christ with special
emphasis on His unconditional love and the balance between grace and faith. We
are doing our best to fulfill that call by teaching at conferences, in
churches, on television, through podcasts, by training others at Charis Bible College, and by developing ministry materials
to help you in your relationship with the Lord. We were once on the radio, but
we have moved on to further-reaching mediums such as podcasts.
If you
need prayer, would like to order materials, or have any questions, please call
our Prayer Line: 719-635-1111. We are open
for seventeen hours each weekday and are staffed with mature, loving people who
want to help you.
We
welcome you to this ministry and pray that this is just the beginning of a
relationship that will help you know and understand our loving heavenly Father
in a deeper way.
God
Bless You,
Andrew
