As we trust God to give us wisdom for today’s decisions, He will lead us a step at a time into what He wants us to be doing in the future.
Wisdom
James I (J. I.) Packer
Wisdom is the power to see and the inclination to choose the best and highest goal, together with the surest means of attaining it.
Elisabeth Elliot
If God gave it to me,” we say “it’s mine. I can do what I want with it.” No. The truth is that it is ours to thank Him for and ours to offer back to Him, ours to relinquish, ours to lose, ours to let go of – if we want to find our true selves, if we want real Life, if our hearts are set on glory.
V. Raymond Edman
The pattern [of the crisis of the deeper life] seems to be self-centeredness, self-effort, increasing inner dissatisfaction and outer discouragement, a temptation to give it all up because there is no better way, and then finding the Spirit of God to be their strength, their guide, their confidence and companion–in a word, their life.
James I (J. I.) Packer
Wisdom is the power to see, and the inclination to choose, the best and highest goal, together with the surest means of attaining it.
John Milton
The end of learning is to know God, and out of that knowledge to love Him and imitate Him.
William Cowper
Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much. Wisdom is humble that he knows not more.
John Bevere
Often God will send us what we need in a package we don’t want. Why? To let us know He’s God and we cannot second-guess Him. We cannot search for answers merely with our heads; we must seek Him and His provision with our hearts. Scripture cannot be interpreted from our limited human mental understanding. There must be a breath of the Spirit of God. He alone gives wise counsel and correct application.
Andrew Murray
The wisdom of the world and excellency of speech has replaced the honour and glory due the Spirit of power.
Francis Frangipane
After forty-five years in ministry, here is what I have seen to be true: Jesus Christ came to comfort the troubled and trouble the comfortable.
