Game Changer #2: God's Wisdom Is Infinite

Have you ever had a feeling that something was so very, very right, and then when you did it, it ended up being so very, very wrong?

This is because feelings lie. They lie to us all the time!

After six months in a relationship, you wonder, “What was I thinking?”

Just a few months into a job, you think, “How in the world did I get messed up in this?”

A quick decision that seemed harmless at the time leaves you broken and scarred years later.

If you want to have fewer dead ends and failures in your life, then you need to remember what the Bible says in Proverbs 3:5-7.

If you really want God’s blessing on your life, you have to depend on His wisdom and not what your feelings say or what your gut tells you. The smartest human being in the world is still incorrect. We’re fallible, but God is never wrong. HIS wisdom will never steer you astray, but our “wisdom” does more often than not.

So how do we get God’s wisdom?

Simple: we pray. We talk to God, and we let Him talk to us by reading the Bible.

Because God doesn’t want us to make dumb mistakes. He doesn’t want us to hit dead ends or go through failure after failure in our lives. God wants us to succeed. He wants us to make wise decisions with our time, money, and relationships.

It’s not like you’re waiting on Him for His help. He’s waiting on you!

God’s saying, “Hey, I’m here! I’ll give you wisdom and I’ll give it generously. I’m not grudging about it. I want to make you wise. You’ve just got to ask.”

If you want to be blessed, you’ve got to get God’s wisdom. If you want God’s wisdom, then you’ve got to get in God’s Word.

Ask Him.

And He will provide you with the wisdom and understanding that surpasses that of our own.
