Today’s lesson is simple: Much like the Israelites entering the Promised Land, we too have an inheritance to walk towards. It is the gift of wisdom. How much can you get for it? Well, let me put it this way:

"Length of days is in her [wisdom’s] right hand; And in her left hand, riches and honor. Her ways are ways of pleasantness. And all her paths are peace (Proverbs 3:16-17).”

An average man learns from his mistakes eventually. But a wise man learns from someone else's quickly. An equally "peculiar treasure” lies right in between the holy lines. Turning a possible negative into a positive is "absolute value" in every biblical way:  

The story of Jonah: Don’t be selfish with God’s mercy. And always yield to God’s concern for God’s creation, lest you orchestrate your own ruin. In short, "you can’t hold a man down without staying down with him (Washington, 1915).”

Saul: To be a leader, on behalf of the Real Leader, your will must never "bow down” to the perceptions of your followers. But during a mistake like this, understand that "acting out” will not undo the pre-set, harvest-like, consequences against you (Galatians 6:7); only forgiveness can accomplish this. In the meantime, do not war with the others who are chosen, nor strike against the Word with counterfeit counsel whenever you fail to hear from God. This is the recipe for confusion, criminal behavior, and suicide.

Abraham: There’s no "teamwork” needed with respect to making God’s promises come true. Quite arguably, "He laughs ( "Isaac” in Hebrew)” whenever people construct their own blessings and say "God listens ("Ishmael” in Hebrew) to my needs!” Real faith to a real promise is relaxed. 

King Ahab vs. Micaiah: Do not betray truth simply to safeguard your image to another. A decision like this will hypnotize your self-perception to such an extent, that even a foretelling of your own downfall handed to you on a platter wouldn’t change your course. And, because man has his own will, inevitable rescue from ruin is a fairytale. Prophecy is not a democracy, it is a warning.

Balaam: The love of money and fame will place you in your own Autistic world, where everyone can see how ridiculous you look, except you. Accordingly, always make sure your powers are used for good. And never contaminate your Godly skills with an earthy employer against a soul's beauty. 

We cannot handle the entire inheritance at once. So let’s take a quick break. It is now Recess Time! Come back soon.
