Wise, pt. 2

Wise

Wisdom is living in the right relationship with all aspects of our life. Proverbs 3:6 begins, "In all your ways, acknowledge Him..." God wants to be in the midst of our life, not separate from it. It's east to see that we need a right relationship with God, but we also need right relationships with others, with self, with our community, creation, systems, etc.

Scripture References: Proverbs 3:1-7, 1 Kings 8:1-21

From Series: "Wise"

What does it mean to be wise? It's not about degrees or position. It's not even knowing all the right answers. Biblical wisdom is applied knowledge. It is a way of right living that leads to right relationships. God is the source of all wisdom. God is also love. When we understand wisdom is right living that leads to right relationships, we begin to understand wisdom and love are not separate virtues. Wisdom and love work together. When we love we are living wisely. When we practice wisdom we exercise true love. True wisdom builds relationships and community.
