Introduction: What is the biggest challenge you’re facing in your life right now?
Defining the wisdom of God:
- “Wisdom, among other things, is the ability to devise perfect ends and to achieve those ends by the most perfect means. It sees the end from the beginning, so there can be no need to guess or conjecture… All God’s acts are done in perfect wisdom, first for His own glory, and then for the highest good of the greatest number for the longest time…Not only could His acts not be better done: a better way to do them could not be imagined.” -A. W. Tozer, Knowledge of the Holy
How has God revealed His wisdom to us?
- Through CREATION -Psalm 19:1-7
- Through PROVIDENCE -Psalm 33:10-11
- Through REDEMPTION -1 Corinthians 2:6-10
- Through His SON -1 Corinthians 1:30
How must we respond to the wisdom of God?
- We must LEARN to live wisely! -Ephesians 5:15-17
HOW do we do that?
- We must REVERENCE God’s ways. -Proverbs 1:7; Job 28:28
- We must RECEIVE His Word. -Psalm 119:97-100, 2 Timothy 3:15-17
- We must ASK for it specifically. -James 1:5; Colossians 1:9
- We must learn to TRUST Him completely… that all that comes our way is from the hand of a good and loving God who knowing all things actual and possible, is exerting His unlimited power to execute the best possible outcomes, by the best possible means, to fulfill the highest possible purposes.
