King Solomon gave the following advice: "How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!" (Proverbs 16:16). In another part, namely in Proverbs 4: 7, Solomon said "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding." And finally Solomon stressed the importance of seeking wisdom of the most high. "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding." (Proverbs 9:10)
If the event World Cup games has the largest audience beyond the Olympics, our lives are also a lot petandingan people see around us. It is taught by Paul in his epistle to the Philippians. Paul is a man who was transformed in an extraordinary manner by the Lord Jesus Christ. Encounter with God that changed his life, put a deep impression in his heart, and that changing one level, where it considers that its main purpose. He said: "Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ." (Philippians 3:8)
Paul did not make such a dark past a stumbling block to faith in Christ, but he has forgotten that behind him and turn to what is in front, "I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."(Philippians 3:14)
If there is a football game in the striker, defender, goalkeeper and the referee, as well as spectators, in the Christian life, we also asked the courage to go to war to proclaim Jesus Christ of Nazareth, to maintain our lifelong faith, keep our hearts from all evil, still looking God as a regulator of our lives, and the people around us whether we are the ones who watched the game win or lose this faith.
Hebrews 12:1-2: "1. Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."
