The Alpha of the WIse-Hearted

UV 3180/10000 The Alpha of the Wise Hearted
And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that the LORD hath commanded;
Exodus 35 v 10
When we revere and respect the Lord God, we become wise-hearted. It implies that every heart beat of ours is in tune or resonates with the Lord’s own heart. Such a one dedicates every breath of his to the Lord God. His heart is focussed on pleasing the Lord, on diligently storing His word therein and to obey His commandments and believe His promises. He uses all his knowledge, talents and abilities to honour the Lord. He does not build with the equivalent of straw or hay but with precious metals and stones of the spiritual realm. Whatever work he does, he does it as if it is for the Lord.
The wise-hearted will use his tongue to edify or build up the faith of people in God. He stills his inner being and waits on the Lord to hear a word from Him. He uses all opportunities to manifest or show case the glory of God. He is always overshadowed by the Holy Spirit. The presence of the Lord is the source of his strength, of his courage and of his joy. He aims for perfection and catches up with excellence in all he does. His heart is the tabernacle of God not built by human hands and is always filled with the incense of praise, thanksgiving and worship. He remembers the testimonies of the faithfulness of God and strengthens himself in difficult moments of doubt and trial.
The wise-hearted sacrifice their own egos and do everything possible to magnify the invisible glory of God such that it is visible to all. Everything that they do which is creditable or praiseworthy they attribute to the grace or enablement, enlargement and equipping by the Lord. They do everything that lies with them to do and trust the Lord for the rest, for the unknown, for the unpredictable. They act with prudence, intelligence, imagination, creativity, foresight, insight, hind sight, skill and vision. They overcome their own limitations that they are quite aware of by teaming up with others who have the corresponding requisite ability or strength or talent or skill or knowledge. They accept that failure in any venture is either a signal from the Lord to try again harder, smarter and better or to change course.
