It’s a treasure each day to simply read God’s Word, to take time to consider it, believing that we will be taught by Holy Spirit who helps us to decrease while God increases more in our understanding, fear and appreciation.

The books of Revelation and Proverbs, tell of a Tree of Life .

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will grant the right to eat from the tree of life in the Paradise of God.

Revelation 2:7

Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who acquires understanding,
for she is more profitable than silver, and her gain is better than fine gold. 
She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire compares with her.
Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honour.
All her ways are pleasant, and all her paths are peaceful.
She is a tree of life to those who embrace her, and those who lay hold of her are blessed.

Proverbs 3:13-18

The fruits of the Tree of Life and the Wisdom spoken of are not intangible theories, or a way of living other than by Christ, or a different means of gaining Godly characteristics, they’re attributes of God the Son, who is the true God, and eternal life, He said take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, the characteristics and fruits of righteousness are gained from seeking and following Christ and are promised to all who come to God the Father through Christ the Word.

But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption. That, according as it is written, He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.

1 Corinthians 1:30-31

I haven’t stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, in order that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in your knowledge of Him. I ask that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know the hope of His calling, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, and the surpassing greatness of His power to us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength, which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in the one to come. And God put everything under His feet and made Him head over everything for the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

Ephesians 1:16-23

Growing in wisdom and understanding in the Paradise of God we’ll learn more of His glory and wonders forever and ever! But until then, we can continue reading His Word each day and He will change us to be more like Jesus, being blessed as we embrace and lay hold of wisdom from His Word and Holy Spirit.

And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

Luke 9:23

But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

2 Corinthians 3:18
