Why We Should Seek God's Wisdom



In life, we face many challenges, but the wisdom of God gives us hope. It guides us through the unknown with a promise of something greater than we can imagine. The scriptures offer us a glimpse into God's boundless power as stated in Ephesians 3:20–21, which says, 

"Now to Him who can do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen."

This verse shows that God's wisdom surpasses our expectations and desires. It works on a higher plane, operating according to the divine power within us, orchestrating outcomes that surpass our wildest dreams.

The story of Daniel and his friends is a testament to this truth. They faced the threat of annihilation for their inability to interpret King Nebuchadnezzar's dream, but they did not lose hope. They sought the mercies of the God of heaven, believing in the supremacy of His wisdom over earthly knowledge. God rewarded their faith with a revelation that spared their lives and revealed the futility of worldly wisdom.

“Then Daniel went to his house, and made the decision known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, that they might seek mercies from the God of heaven concerning this secret, so that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a night vision. So Daniel blessed the God of heaven.” Daniel 2:17–19.

Sometimes, we may question God's presence when we don't receive an immediate response to our pleas. However, it is often in those moments of stillness that God orchestrates His most extraordinary works. His wisdom unfolds in supernatural ways, leaving us in awe of His providence.

“For the Wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their own craftiness.”” 1 Corinthians 3:19.

Therefore, let us hold steadfast in our faith, trusting in God’s infinite wisdom. Let us wait upon the Lord with unwavering hope, for His ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts. In every circumstance, let us emulate Daniel, wholly relying on the wisdom of our heavenly Father. He is the architect of our victory, weaving a masterpiece from the threads of our lives.

Blessings!

Following Jesus' Example: Choosing Service Over Status

The image still takes my breath away.  Jesus, the Son of God, kneeling on the floor with a towel around His waist, washing His disciples' feet. It is unexpected, radical, and completely contrary to everything our culture teaches about power and status. Yet here is Jesus deliberately choosing the posture of a servant when He could have demanded the position of a king. As the disciples were about to argue about who was the greatest among them, Jesus responded by taking the lowest position imaginable. The Radical Act of Foot Washing Foot washing in first-century Palestine wasn't just a nice gesture; it was the job of the lowest servant in the household. Roads were dusty, people wore sandals, and feet often got dirty. It was necessary but unpleasant work that no one wanted to do. That's exactly why Jesus chose to do it. Peter's reaction feels so human and relatable. "You shall never wash my feet!" he exclaimed, horrified at the idea of his Lord doing such menial ...

It Is Finished: The Power of Faithfulness to Completion

Three words that changed everything. Spoken from the cross in Jesus' final moments, " It is finished " wasn't a cry of defeat but a declaration of victory. The Greek word tetelestai means "it is completed" or "it is accomplished." It's the word used when a debt is paid in full, a task is finished, or a mission is accomplished. Jesus didn't just endure the cross; He completed it. He didn't just start the work of salvation ; He finished it. He didn't just make a good effort; He accomplished everything the Father had sent Him to do. This faithfulness to completion characterizes Jesus' entire life and ministry. He didn't just teach some good lessons; He revealed the complete truth about God . He didn't just heal a few people; He demonstrated God's complete power over sickness and death. He didn't just forgive some sins; He provided complete atonement for all sin. When Jesus said, "It is finished," He was ...

How Do You Respond When You Hear About Jesus?

Every encounter with Jesus begins with a response. The difference between receiving a miracle and missing a blessing often depends on what you do when you hear about Him. Throughout Scripture, we see ordinary people who encountered Jesus—and their responses opened the door to extraordinary transformation. Let me share a few examples with you. Blind Bartimaeus: The Cry That Stopped Heaven When Bartimaeus heard that Jesus was passing by, something within him came alive. Though he couldn't see with his natural eyes, his spirit was wide awake. He cried out, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" (Mark 10:47). The crowd tried to silence him. They told him to be quiet and to stop making a scene. But Bartimaeus refused to let public opinion drown out his desperation for change. He understood something most people miss: moments of divine visitation must be seized, not analysed. You cannot afford to wait when destiny walks past your door. His cry was not just noise; it was faith...
