The Multiplier Effect

UV 3374/10000 The Multiplier Effect

For by Me ( wisdom from God) your days will be multiplied and years of life shall be increased.

Proverbs 9 v 11

When we read this uni-verse along with Psalm 90 v 12 - “So teach us to number our days, that we may cultivate and bring to you a heart of wisdom,” we obtain understanding of a powerful truth. God alone can add life to our years and years to our lives. He transforms the quantity and quality, the longevity and the joy of being, productivity as well as creativity of our lives. Every day and in every new experience, He teaches us valuable lessons of life. Our lives are prolonged experiments to discover the truths of His word. He by His wisdom and grace transforms the apparent vanity and futulity of our earthly lives into meaningful and purposeful ones. He impacts our character so that we will be long on patience and short on disbelief, doubt, fear and every other negativity of life. He builds the kingdom of God in us. We are not self taught, self built or self realized but God --taught,- built and -realized.

As we count our days, we experience the countless blessings of knowing and loving God through Jesus. Our paths become brighter as we go and not darker as it is with those who are devoid of the wisdom and grace of the Lord. He multiplies our pleasures for the Psalmist records that there are “pleasures forevermore at His right hand.” He helps us overcome our sorrows and weaknesses as we avail His wisdom and grace. His wisdom enables us to make the right choices and we avoid the needless pains of folly and vanity. He prospers our plans as we acknowledge and depend upon His infinite and unfailing wisdom. We gain significance despite the apparent insignificance of all earthly acquisitions and attainments without the personal knowledge of God. Every little thing that happens in our lives acquires a new meaning and purpose in the light of our faith. We combat and win against a legion of uncertainties with the one certainty that Christ died for our sins and is alive and ruling today from the eternal realm. We realize that we are called not to be successful but victorious in His name.

He multiplies our strength, our abilities, our wisdom, our power to face the challenges of this life. He also divides the ranks of those who oppose and attack us without any reason. As we advance in years, we look forward to leaving our earthly bodies and abodes and joining the Lord. We have no fear of death as we know that eternal life is ours to claim and enjoy right from the moment we believe and receive Jesus as our personal Savior. We look with hope to receive the unfading crown, the prize for a life live by faith in Christ, the Overcomer.
