Wisdom from God
If you’ve ever gone on a trip somewhere you’ve never been before, you know just how important a map is. Maps help us navigate the unknown areas ahead. Similarly, God’s Word helps us navigate through the unknown seasons of life. God’s Word reveals God’s wisdom, which guides our lives.
Proverbs is a book of wisdom filled with knowledge that helps people live according to God’s purposes for their life.
The book of Proverbs begins by acknowledging that everything begins with God.
Because God is the creator of life, He knows what direction our lives should go. Our role, according to Proverbs, is to seek Him, and trust Him. Trusting God means believing that He knows what is best for us, and proving it by having a relationship with Him.
The more that we trust in God and submit our life to Him, the more we will live in accordance with God’s will. Proverbs 3:6 says that when we submit to God’s wisdom in all our ways, He will direct and guide us. And thankfully, God has given us Scripture to show us what His will really looks like.
That’s why it’s important to read God’s Word daily and get familiar with all that God says, so that in every area of life, we can trust Him to direct our paths.
Take some time today to pray about the direction your life is headed in. If there are situations you’re unsure about, ask God to give you wisdom. Allow Him to direct your paths. And as you talk to Him, get in the habit of reading His Word every day so that you can grow in God’s knowledge and wisdom as you go through life.
There's No Peace Without His Presence
Moses was standing in the middle of a desert—both literally and spiritually. The people had just rebelled against God by building an idol of a golden calf, and now their future felt uncertain.
Yet in this moment of deep tension, Moses makes a bold request: If God’s presence won’t go with them to their destination, Moses says, he’d rather not go at all.
It’s not that Moses didn’t want the promised land. But more than the land, more than progress, more than answers, Moses wanted God Himself. He knew that no amount of success, comfort, or direction could ever replace the nearness of the Lord.
There are seasons in life when we find ourselves in our own wilderness: confused, dried up, uncertain of the next step. In those moments, it’s easy to crave clarity. But what we truly need is God's presence, not just answers.
Peace doesn’t come from knowing the plan. It comes from knowing He is with us in it.
God's presence is our distinguishing mark. ...
