Purpose

Genesis 11:6 And the Lord said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.”

Unity of purpose is the building blocks of success.

For those who are not familiar with the Word, this section is about the tower of Babel where man built a tower to attack a god they did not know.

As I look around at this current atmosphere of cooperation I see history repeating itself. They attack the god they do not know. If you have noticed I do not use the capitalized version of the word god then you know where I am coming from.

The simplicity of God’s Word was first distributed to a generation that worshiped God without knowing Him but did believe in the faith of their fathers. God chose Abram to reveal Himself to one man, one promise and watched all that happened because the building blocks of purpose began with one new brick that God chose to build upon, faith.

Romans 4:16 That is why it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his offspring—not only to the adherent of the law but also to the one who shares the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,

Wisdom

Proverbs 23:6-8 English Standard Version

6 Do not eat the bread of a man who is stingy, do not desire his delicacies,
7 for he is like one who is inwardly calculating, “Eat and drink!” he says to you, but his heart is not with you.
8 You will vomit up the morsels that you have eaten, and waste your pleasant words.

This is the purpose of Proverbs; To know wisdom and instruction, to understand words of insight, to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equity; to give prudence to the simple, (Pro 1:2-3)

The verses quoted above teach us the difference between judgment and discernment.
