God-Given Wisdom\n

While miracles are wonderful, they are not God\u2019s first choice to prosper you. He would rather you work hard so He can reward you and others around you through your success and generosity. His best is the principle of \u201cSeed, Time, and Harvest,\u201d also known as \u201cwork and reward.\u201d If you are on board with God\u2019s best and looking to succeed this way, you need to be dependent on God for three things: wisdom, favor, and character.\n

Let\u2019s look at wisdom. Wisdom is the God-given ability to see and know things not obvious to others. It\u2019s the ability to think beyond your circumstances and training. Wisdom is a vision for something greater and the understanding of how to make it happen. The Bible says wisdom is a free download from God:\u00a0If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.\u00a0\u2013 James 1:5\n

Wisdom is knowing when and how to move. It is being led by the Lord to apply for a better job at a specific time, even though that job is way out of your league. Wisdom can be a Spirit-led investment at a critical time.\n

I don\u2019t know if you\u2019ve ever seen a picture of the original Microsoft team. They looked like a bunch of gypsies and hippies rather than the richest, most powerful people on the planet. Had you invested in them back then, it would have been wisdom, and you wouldn\u2019t need a financial miracle now.\n

Look around you. There are all kinds of trains steaming into better places. You just need the wisdom to know which one to climb on board.\u00a0 God is granting you a spirit of wisdom and revelation by flooding the eyes of your heart with light. He is enlarging your vision for His plan. Watch for it and see where He moves you.","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Jesus-driven thinking helps and heals. This is what the Bible has to say on the subject: For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. \u2013 Romans 8:6\n

The Cherokee nation knew it, too. Check out this spot-on tribal tale:\n

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life. He told the boy, \u201cA terrible fight is going on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and self-doubt.\"\n

The old man continued: \u201cThe other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.\u201d He then told the boy, \u201cThis same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.\u201d\n

The grandson thought about it for a minute, then asked his grandfather, \u201cWhich wolf will win?\u201d The wise old chief replied, \u201cThe one you feed.\u201d\n

What wolf have you been feeding? Just know the wolf of evil thoughts will eventually devour you, and likely others as well. Thoughts become actions, and there is always collateral damage.\n

That\u2019s not you! You can control your thought life and ensure the evil wolf starves to death."}},"slug":"et_pb_blurb"}">God-Given Wisdom

When I seek God, I have wisdom that I don’t possess on my own. He is so good at guiding me and showing me the best choices to make. I won’t settle for second best; my heart is seeking God’s best.
