CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Piety or Reverence is a deep respect for God. A person with reverence recognizes our total reliance on God and comes before God with humility, trust, and love. Piety is the gift where we pay worship and duty to God. 

Willingness to worship and serve God. Piety takes that willingness beyond a sense of duty so that we desire to worship God and to serve Him out of Love. Piety is the instinctive affection for God that makes or allows us to desire to render worship to Him. 

Examples of Piety in Scripture: 

-Abraham’s potential sacrifice of his Son in Gen. 22:12

-Jacob recognizing God’s hand guiding his life in Gen. 48:15

-Joseph would not consent to anything that would displease God in Gen. 39:9

Paul says in James 1:26-27 that true piety manifests itself also in a genuine love of neighbor. 

Practiced piety that is done “For the Love of God” will always enrich & nourish the participant. “By kindness & piety guilt is expiated” Proverbs 16:6

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

With the gift of knowledge, we understand the meaning of God. The gift of knowledge is more than an accumulation of facts. Knowledge is often confused with both wisdom and understanding. Like wisdom, knowledge is the perfection of faith, but whereas wisdom gives us the desire to judge all things according to the truths of the Faith, knowledge is the actual ability to do so. Like counsel, it is aimed at our actions in this life. In a limited way, knowledge allows us to see the circumstances of our life the way that God sees them. Through this gift of the Holy Spirit, we can determine God’s purpose for our lives and live them accordingly.

Like wisdom, knowledge perfects the virtue of faith. The aims of knowledge and wisdom are different, however. Whereas wisdom helps us to penetrate divine truth and prepares us to judge all things according to that truth, knowledge gives us that ability to judge. The object of this gift is the whole spectrum of created things insofar as they lead one to God.”

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Understanding: In understanding, we comprehend how we need to live as a follower of Christ. A person with understanding is not confused by all the conflicting messages in our culture about the right way to live. The gift of understanding perfects a person’s speculative reason in the gaining of Truth. It allows for self-evident principles to be known. 

While wisdom is the desire to contemplate the things of God, understanding allows us to penetrate to the very core of revealed truths. This doesn’t mean we will understand the mysteries of God, the way we would a math problem, but that we become certain of the Truth of God. Such certitude moves beyond faith. 

Understanding moves past natural reason, which is no more than how we perceive the natural world with our senses. Through understanding, we see the world and our life within the larger context of the eternal law and the relation of our souls to God.
