Walk in Wisdom
As we wrap up our Way of Wisdom series - we hope you’ve been encouraged to want to seek the wisdom God provides and calls us to live into with Him. We want you to walk in wisdom that impacts your daily decisions and choices in order to live more and more into the life Jesus promises to provide to those trusting and aligning their lives with him. God provides clear revelation to walk in His ways and there’s also a clear filter question we can learn to utilize that will help us navigate our lives well.

https://share.fluro.io/form/6329f633da0feb00250cbd5fWisdom is understanding how reality works, and knowing how to navigate it within the boundaries of God’s righteousness and God’s justice.
Wisdom is knowing how things are, knowing how they work, and knowing what to do about it.
Wisdom in action results in shalom — peace, wellness, and flourishing —not just for you, but also for the many people around you!

Wisdom has a God-centered trust.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5)
Truth:
Wisdom doesn’t come in an app - it does comes through application
wisdom isn’t just something you KNOW,
it must become something you DO!
(Remember this Axiom: = “Experience, learn, change”)
(WISE PEOPLE CONTINUAL LEARNING MODE)
QUOTE: Foolish people have a flat learning curve.
—John Townsend

Proverbs 4:25-26
Look straight ahead,
and fix your eyes on what lies before you.
Mark out a straight path for your feet;
stay on the safe path.
Our attention matters in life.
We each will choose our path in life:
--will we give our attention to wisdom or folly??
Proverbs 4:18-19
The path of the righteous is like the light of dawn,
shining brighter and brighter until midday.
But the way of the wicked is like the darkest gloom;
they don’t know what makes them stumble.

Principle:
attention influences our decisions;
decisions drive our direction;
direction will determine our destination.

You’re character – Your soul becomes the thing that binds together all of what makes you – you. Your character is where wisdom needs to reside...
Quote:
Your soul is what integrates your will (your intentions), your mind (your thoughts and feelings, your values and conscience), and your body (your body, your language, and actions) into a single life.
The soul is the life center of human beings. -John Ortberg

a wisdom filter (a question) you can ask that will prove helpful to every decision you must answer...
Based on my past experience, my current circumstances and my future hope and dreams, what is the wise thing for me to do?

Reminder:
Wise people focus on honoring and living out God’s Revealed Will because they trust God’s faithfulness to provide the rest in His timing.
Remember: FILTER QUESTION of WISDOM:
… in light of my past experience, my current circumstances, and my future hopes and dreams — what’s the wise thing for me to do?
