Here at Faith where I pastor, we've been moving through the unique Book of Ecclesiastes. As part of this process, the issue of wisdom comes up over and over again. James 1:5-6 reminds us that we can ask God for wisdom and He will give it to us. There is nothing like going through life with a little help...
Just think what godly wisdom could do in your life. You'll make better decisions, possibly earn more in your vocation and certainly make you more valuable as a human being!
As a result of our study, I offered a challenge to the people of Faith Christian Center to pursue wisdom. Here is the actual material for this adventure:
The Challenge is to memorize James 1:5-6 and pray daily for wisdom for 90 days. Please pick up the “kit” located in the North or South foyer which consists of a simple 3X5 card. On one side you write the verse to be memorized in your favorite translation. On the reverse you write the days you prayed for wisdom at the top, and make notes on when you had wisdom ‘beyond your own’ at the bottom. The first week of February, we’ll begin asking for results from this challenge. This endeavor will be a life-changer for many as we all increase in wisdom that flows from heaven!
Blessings,
Pastor Mike Johnson, Lead Pastor
Whether you attend Faith or not, you can start now by getting out a card and following the instructions above. Take God at His Word and see what can happen! If you attend Faith, we'll have more cards available on Sunday to help you with your challenge. Remember it's 90 days. Give your prayers and brain time for God-given wisdom to germinate in your heart. As you makes notes on decisions and thoughts that were once beyond you, give God the glory!
By the way - regardless of your location, respond if you can when "God-stuff" starts to happen to/through you in this area!
