Wisdom in Place of Progress | West Church Podcast

Wisdom & Knowledge

Wisdom is a gift to us from God that we can embrace and work on that makes our lives so much better. 

Definition of Wisdom: discernment, understanding, gaining understanding about something or skillful living.

Wisdom gives us the information on how we can act or react. 

I Chronicles 1:7 

What if we look at situations and ask, OK God what can I learn from this? How can I grow?

Here are some principles we can apply to our lives to have wisdom...

• Choose Wisdom: approach with positivity 
• When we trust our instincts
• Set boundaries and be intentional about what we are seeking wisdom for
• Surround yourself with wisdom
• Learn from your mistakes
• What can I learn from this and how can I apply it to my life
• Learn from the mistakes of others
• Choose it daily! 

It’s a conscious decision to not get caught up in the emotions of the moment. If we will be intentional about asking God how we can learn and grow. That’s how we gain wisdom and that’s how we gain life!
