Understanding God’s Wisdom

The quest for wisdom is something that goes far beyond the accumulation of knowledge on a subject. Wisdom leads us to a deep understanding of life and divine purposes. It guides us to a full and meaningful existence.

The source of all understanding

“For the Lord gives wisdom. From his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless.”

Proverbs 2:6-7

When we are anchored in the wisdom from on high, that which comes from the Father, it becomes a sure lighthouse in the midst of dark moments and storms.

True wisdom is not found in human sources, it comes as the gift and gift of God. It is revealed through the scriptures and by a communion with the Holy Spirit of God. It involves understanding God’s ways, purposes, and principles. It allows us to discern between right and wrong, choose wisely, and act with integrity. Divine wisdom guides us in all areas of our lives, whether in relationships, financial and career decisions, among others. It also helps us to find balance at times when our emotions struggle to rule our lives.

God is the source of true wisdom. When we sincerely seek this knowledge, He reserves it for us and becomes a shield that guides us on the path of life and protects us at each new stage.

Led by god

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. All who follow his precepts have good understanding. To Him belongs eternal praise.”

Psalm 111:10

God’s wisdom guides our souls, keeping us steadfast in times of uncertainty, hardship, and storms. And it all starts in our fear of God.

This wisdom involves our emotional, psychological, among other aspects of our lives. When everything seems to be messy and with no way out, if we don’t seek this wisdom, we despair. But when we live with it in our heart with Him as the source, we remain calm in the midst of chaos. Wisdom is essential as a guide and aid, as it enables us to deal with challenges and adversity with insight and grace.

All these possibilities that we gain from wisdom remind us that we are not alone in our journeys and that we have a loving and wise God who wants to lead us at all times.

Gift accessible to all

“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”

James 1:5

To each one, God gives a gift. Chances are you and your friend have gifts in a few different areas that you can teach each other and spill over to each other.

But wisdom is a gift that is available to everyone. As well as loving, serving, interceding. For it is of the character of God, born of His heart, and poured out upon us as we seek after Him.

This gift is in line with God’s will and is consistent with His teachings and values, it even helps us to be constant in our search. He considers the greater good, justice, compassion and love.

The divine wisdom we receive from God encourages us to seek Him even more, to fear Him as the source of all insight and knowledge, to trust in His perfect plan.

May we continually seek this wisdom, immerse ourselves in the Word that teaches us so much about it, cultivate a deep and intense relationship with God and allow His wisdom to guide us in every step of our lives.

Have you been a false prophet?

Have you been a false prophet?

I recently spoke to you about the difference between being used and being approved by God. An approved character requires depth and obedience. Approval comes through real devotion. How to recognize I used Balaam’s donkey in the text I wrote before as an example that God uses what He prefers and finds appropriate for the moment. Isso não diz muito sobre o que ou quem Ele está usando, mas revela muito sobre Deus. About the story of Balaam, I want to remind you what he was called. In the Bible he is recognized as a false prophet. Although there is not a verse that clearly calls him that, there are passages in which we can understand this characterization. In 2 Peter 2:15, we can read the following passage: “They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Bezer, who loved the wages of wickedness.” Or also in Jude 1:11 “Woe to them! They have taken the way of Cain. They have rushed for profit into Balaam’s error. They have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion.” When we read this, it’s normal to wonder about the revelations he made and the words he took to […]

Led by the Spirit

The Holy Spirit transforms many things in us and many of them have to do with our positioning. These days I heard a preaching from a very special pastor and I would like to share with you some of the ideas he presented. To position “Be on your guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. Do everything in love.” 1 Corinthians 16:13,14 Sometimes we think that having the Holy Spirit, in certain situations such as arguments or difficulties, is keeping quiet and just holding back, sitting back and waiting for Him to do something. But the Spirit of God gives us discernment for a good position in any situation. To be filled with this Spirit is to know how to position yourself, but not with your own strength, but by recognizing your dependence on Him. God expects us to position wisely. Even if we are without strength, He calls us to act according to His will. If the call comes from Him, He will be the source of strength to walk toward it. He empowers you “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with […]

Slaves of Desire

Slaves of Desire

Immanuel Kant was one of the greatest philosophers of the 18th century. In one of his works (Foundations of the Metaphysics of Morals, chapter 2), he brought the idea that being free is not doing what you want, but doing what you don’t want. And today I want to talk about this idea and how it appears in different ways in the bible too. The power to evaluate “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh. Rather, serve one another humbly in love.” Galatians 5:13 As humans we have the false feeling that, if we do what we want, we are free. Kant breaks this pattern and shows that, if you do what you want, without measuring consequences, you become a slave to desire and, from that, it is impossible to be someone free. To be free is to do what we don’t want to. For example, I train in a gym. If someone offers me a lot of candies and fried foods after a workout, my craving would be immediately accept it and eat it all at once. But that way I would become a slave to desire, which […]
