Walking with the Wise

Strength is not found in isolation; it is found in community. It‘s simply tragic how many people in the body of Christ are failing in some area of their lives because they are trying to figure out everything on their own and missing out on the strength that could be accessed from the people around them.

When we walk with those who are wise, we gain the strength of the wisdom that is in their lives. We‘re not supposed to figure things out on our own. When we end up over our heads—which will happen all the time in God‘s process of growth in our lives—we need to know that the strength, wisdom, and grace God wants to give us are most likely going to come when we humble ourselves and reach out to our community. For this reason, when I get in over my head, I do two things: I get with the Lord, and I immediately call somebody who‘s farther along than I am and ask, “What do you think? I need your strength and wisdom.” Again and again, the wise counsel of my community has helped me navigate the deep end.

Rooted

As Christians seek out their God-given purpose, it is natural to expect God to develop the skills and abilities given to believers that would allow them to go into the world and make an impact for the Kingdom. However, the focus is often spent on the vision God gave his Church rather than realizing God's main desire is to develop His children. If Christians want to change the world and "bear fruit" that makes an impact on the world, they must first make roots that last. Using the life of David, Liebscher gives readers three areas to dig in to start building those lasting roots--prayer, service, and community.
