We have all been called to live our lives imitating Jesus.

Jesus was fully human. He was not a fake. In his humanity, Jesus was just like everybody else, just like you and me, with one difference: our humanity is corrupted by sin; his humanity is perfect in holiness. As a man, Jesus was fully subject to the capacity to sin, and the temptation to sin, and the torment of resisting those temptations, but he was sustained and empowered by his divine nature.
-Charles Hodge, Systematic Theology, vol. 2

What if I told you that God is calling us to be men and women characterized by wisdom?

Godly wisdom goes deeper, it blends knowledge with discernment.

Seek Jesus, find wisdom.

It doesn’t say has the power and wisdom of God, it says He IS the wisdom of God.

“…in Proverbs, divine Wisdom speaks, as indeed the Word of God does….This divine Teacher of God’s ways and will portrays what the best, blessed life looks like; how love takes shape in the lives of God’s children; how to walk in the paths of righteousness. We might say it like this: In Proverbs, Wisdom reveals what the thoughts, words, and actions look like for those who bear the image of the Father’s Son.”
-Chad Bird

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

Seek Jesus through the Word.

“God is going to reveal to us things He never revealed before if we put our hands in His. No books ever go into my laboratory. The thing I am to do and the way of doing it are revealed to me. I never have to grope for methods. The method is revealed to me the moment I am inspired to create something new. Without God to draw aside the curtain, I would be helpless.”
-George Washington Carver

“The secret of my success? It is simple. It is found in the Bible: “in all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:6)
-George Washington Carver
