GOT WISDOM?

We know that we serve a powerful God who has devised a perfect plan for us: a plan to prosper us not to harm us.

Yet, many times, we stray from the perfect path. 

Why?

God’s will can seem tiresome, too difficult or not flashy enough. Or else our own hearts tempt us to wander. During these times, it is best to ask for WISDOM.

Wisdom can be defined as knowing God’s Plan for your life and having the courage and the strength NOT TO STRAY from the Plan despite temptations, trials and fatigue.

5 If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. 6 But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. 7 Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do.  James 1: 5-8 NLT

Is there anything more difficult than waiting patiently for God to reveal His wisdom?

Anyone who knows me can attest to the fact that I am beyond impatient.  Before my car accident in December 2014, I believed that I could not be effective unless I was moving at warp speed.  At that time in my life, I believed that any motion was better than waiting. 

During my year of recovery, I spent time studying God’s word and His teaching.  It was at this time that He revealed a valuable precept.  Despite what the world teaches, there is SUPERNATURAL power in stillness.  This power is called the Holy Spirit.  And if you call on the Spirit, the Spirit will work in you to accomplish great things. 

It is BEST to seek Wisdom and stir up the Holy Spirit before you act.  

Think about it.  Isn’t a finely tuned instrument more effective than a rock?

God's will is clear, unchanging, perfect.  Why not get directions from the maker and creator of the universe before venturing out on your own?

But be prepared.  As you grow in GOD and as you learn about HIM, you will notice that the temptations and trials in your life begin to mount.  This is not your imagination.  The forces of darkness are real and they have a vested interest in knocking you off your course. 

Don't Worry!

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but with the temptation also make a way to escape that ye may be able to bear it."

1Corinthians 10:13

Stay on the Perfect Path, darling!  But know that this heroic feat cannot be accomplished alone. Seek to learn more about God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit and you will be rewarded with WISDOM.  

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.  Jeremiah 29:13

Simply ASK and God will reveal the secrets of life to you. The process is supernatural. It is barely perceptible.  Keep seeking, it will happen.  

He promised, darling!
