Wisdom

Jasmine Hill

For GIVEYOURWITNESS Ministries on 14 September, 2020 in the year of our Lord:

Pray today that you will not be swayed by opinions that do not come from God. He is looking for you, and whenever you stray and return, you realize that He never moved. The world is filled with imitations and fads that come in the guise of wisdom but are actually snippets of evil disguised to give you comfort. No relationship crumbles because of a single blowout; almost all of them fail because we do not acknowledge the slow leaks that deflate us. My brothers and sisters let us be wise to the assumptions of the innocent because you think there is no victim.

From the very first assumption in the Garden of Eden, man has always been vulnerable to the negative influences of other people. Today, make a decision to question your own assumptions. Why you believe the God of the Bible is as important to the planning of your day as what you believe. Lean on Him to prevent the false promise within a false premise. Make a commitment that you will seek His will to overcome the assumptions that can block you from genuine wisdom.

Worship is for God and not for the creator of the order of worship, or the one who is in charge of the bulletin. Today, meditate on the things you want to understand through the lens of God. When the lamenting prophet Jeremiah cried out to God, he was told, “Seek unto me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things you cannot comprehend.” God is reminding us to look away from the prejudices of our own assumptions and at the majesty of His promise that lies just outside our understanding.And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.Romans 12:2 NKJV
