The pastors of Calvary met this morning, and one of the things that we talked about was the sermon series that we’re currently preaching. In the course of conversation, Dan Nold dropped something along this line on us:
The wisdom of God is totally different from advice.
I’m chewing on that right now. I know that God gives us wisdom, and he reveals his mind to us. He’s not offering suggestions when he speaks, either. He is looking for obedience.
I’ve been praying for wisdom from God and the courage to obey his revelation for months now. Today’s Life Journal reading was from Proverbs 1-3. Solomon laid this one on me:
Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
So let me ask you this: How do you know that the wisdom you have is from the Lord, not yourself?
