SEEK DIVINE WISDOM


 

"He who gains Wisdom loves his own life; he who keeps understanding shall prosper and find good. Proverbs 19:8 AMPC


We live in an era where knowledge and information are abundant. It’s an era where information finds you, rather than you seeking it. You’ll receive notifications on your phone about things you haven’t asked for; you’ll see huge billboards with messages on the streets, and even when you turn on your TV, you’ll be met with advertisements on matters you didn’t search for. Information and knowledge are everywhere.


Because of this, many people are flooded with various types of information about their issues and needs, to the point where they no longer know what to believe or what to do. For example, if you’re diagnosed with an illness today, you’ll find ads for natural remedies on social media; if you go to a doctor, they’ll suggest their treatment; if you ask a friend, they’ll tell you something else. In the end, you’re confused and don’t know which information to trust.


Having vast knowledge or lots of information and knowing many things does not guarantee that you’ll make the right decisions. You could possess all the information in the world and still make incorrect choices.


Wisdom is the only thing that can guide you to discern and understand the outcomes of each step and decision you make. And the wisdom we’re talking about here is Divine Wisdom. This kind of wisdom can reveal to you the benefits or harm of each decision you make.


This is the wisdom that God offers. Proverbs 9:10 teaches us, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." Since God knows all (Omniscient) and is everywhere (Omnipresent), there’s nothing He doesn’t know. When He offers His counsel on a matter, you can be sure He is leading you on the right path.


This wisdom from God is available to anyone who asks for it. As James 1:5 promises, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given to him.” God doesn’t get angry or judge you because of your ignorance; He wants to help you.


If you’re in a situation where you must make tough decisions and are afraid of making a mistake, ask Jesus to guide you. Trust that He will lead you to make the right and wise decisions.


Prayer: Jesus, I trust in Your wisdom. Show me the path I should take, and help me understand the benefits or consequences of each choice before I make it. Amen.

Are You With The Right People?

Pursue righteous living…Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.” 2 Timothy 2:22   If you want to be in God’s will and experience His blessings, you have to be around the right people. The people who are right for you are the people who will be honest with you. They don’t just tell you what you want to hear, but they tell you what you need to hear. “Faithful are the wounds of a friend.” (Proverbs 27:6). Good friends are not afraid to confront you.   Get around the right people because everybody who comes into your life brings a spirit. Sometimes, it is easy to gravitate to people we can relate to and who are similar to us. But the problem with that is, if you both share the same weaknesses, you will not grow in that area. You need to get around someone who is strong in the areas where you are weak. They know how to help get you to where you want to be.   In 2 Chronicles 10, Rehoboam had just been appointed king. Some of the leaders of Israel met w

How Are Your Management Skills? (Part 1)

  “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’” Matthew 25:21   The way you manage your money will determine how much God will trust you with it. In Matthew 25, a wealthy man entrusted his finances to some of his servants. He gave them each certain amounts, and when he returned, he found that some had used the money to make more money, but one servant had just hidden his in the ground. The master (who represents God) was very unhappy with this servant and called him “lazy and wicked” and even took away the little he had been entrusted with.   The master was happy with the others because no matter the amount they had been entrusted with, they used what was given to them and increased it. The servant, who was given only one bag of gold, made the decision to bury it. God expects you to use what He has given you to be a productive person. Even if you ju

Choose love over judgment

"I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.” Galatians 2:21 NKJV   The message today is clear and very brief. God reminds us that our righteousness is not attained through our actions but by faith in Jesus Christ. If our righteousness is obtained by faith and not by deeds, why do we judge each other? Why do we point fingers? Why do we gossip? The mouths of Christians have become very quick to judge others when they make mistakes. Let's not judge others, especially when they make mistakes. Remember that the weaknesses you judge in others, you also have, and often yours are worse than those you judge. The word of God says, "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Matthew 7:1-2."   Secondly, let's not consider ourselves righteous and better than others. The word of God says, "for all
