The most common question I get is how can I know the will of God? Like, who should I marry? What school should my kids go to? What do I do with my money? I've got a big decision.
That requires wisdom. And we're going to learn today. how you can tap into the wisdom of God to make those big decisions. Stay with me. Thanks for listening to this Edition of Living on the Edge Chip Ingram Room.
We are an international teaching and discipleship ministry that encourages and equips Christians to live like Christians.
Well, in just a minute, Chip will pick up where he left off last time in our series, The Real God, with the second half of his message, The Wisdom of God. And let me encourage you to stick around after the teaching as Chip provides some valuable insights that we can apply to our day-to-day lives. You won't want to miss it.
Well with that, here's Chip with the remainder of his talk from Romans chapter 11. I did my graduate work in uh at West Virginia University and I had a Kinesiology course that I took. It's on the human body, how the human body works. And my professor was not a believer. But she was like the high priestess of the human body.
She had the skeleton, and I'm serious, man, she would talk about how the body works. with hushed tones. And she would talk about: Do you understand that one little cell with the DNA of that cell that we could take all around this entire room thousands of times? Do you understand inside one little cell is enough intelligence and magnitude that when it happens and divides in the human body, that it automatically knows when and how to become a nervous system over here, an organ system over here, endocrine system over here, skeleton over here? Do you understand the human body we take for granted that when a knife would cut it, if you were from another planet, what?
You say, Oh no. This is an amazing thing that happens. You can wipe away the blood and the platelets, and there'll be blood clotting, and within a few days, there used to be a cut. And it will automatically heal on its own. Do you understand that the body, if there's even a compound fracture, when the body begins to heal, even if the bone was compound fractured, is that as it fills in, that the inside of the bone, That needs it the most will grow at a higher and faster rate.
And she would talk about the human body like: this is the most magnificent thing. Guess who was it designed by? The Creator. What's that tell you? Whether you look at the stars, Or whether you look at a microscope, Or that whether you look at the human body, the creation screams if this is the effect.
Can you fathom? Can you fathom? the wisdom and the knowledge and the creativity. of the designer, God. And do you think he's going to take less energy and less effort and the wisdom of designing your life that's made for eternity as he is the ecosystem?
If he gives that much energy to keeping the balance in certain ways at certain times and certain seasons, and the moon does this, and that causes the tides to do this, and Don't you think You're more important. Than the lilies of the field, Don't you think you matter more than a creation that screams The most intelligent, wise being of all time, the Creator of the world. is behind it. That's how wise he is. The second way he reveals it is through what's called providence.
And that's not necessarily such a big spiritual word, it's just that he orchestrates life. Listen to Psalm 33, 10 and 11. The Lord foils the plans of the nations, He thwarts the purposes of the peoples. But the plans of the Lord. Stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.
See, God in his wisdom foils the plans of nations. He is all wise. A Hitler gets up and says, this is the way the world's gonna be. We're gonna be the super race, destroys a whole population of Jews, and God goes, Gone. Stalin says this is what's going to happen.
Iyamin says this. Every nation, the Nedo-Persians, every nation, what do they do? Mankind, in his evilness, has plans, and they make these audacious statements of how they're going to rule the world and how they make statues of themselves. God foresaw. The plans of the nations.
He's not just sovereign in his wisdom and in his providence, but the plans of the Lord, the prophetic purposes of God. In his wisdom, his plans go forward. Who would have dreamed? Can you imagine 2,000 years ago just sitting maybe at a A very early Starbucks. Having a latte, a mocha, a cup of coffee.
2,000 years ago and said, so You know, what do you think? Think the Roman Empire is going to be around for quite a while? Yeah, I think so. Those, you know, that Greek culture has lasted pretty well. Merido-Persians, they had their run, but you know, they lost in overtime to the.
the Greeks and the you know and Can you imagine 2,000 years ago saying, You know, I wonder a couple thousand years from now, where will be the central power and attention of a world civilization that can send people to the moon, that has little microchips that go at the speed of light, that send information around a worldwide web, that has nuclear-powered submarines, that has technology beyond our wildest dreams. You know, what do you think the countries that are going to be that are really going to be at the center of the world's attention? And the guy sitting at his Starbucks there that hadn't quite been invented turns to the other guy and goes, probably Israel. Yeah, right. Do you see how God makes a promise to a people.
And in his wisdom, they end up getting spread throughout all the world. No one gives them a prayer. In 1948, they become a nation. And the purposes and the plans and the wisdom. But can you imagine being a Jew for about the last.
nineteen hundred and fifty years wondering God, where are these promises that you've made to Abraham and Isaac? God, I don't see it. God, what's going on here? Only to see that in the wisdom of God, see, God is revealing. He does it through nations and providence and through creation.
And the classic, the greatest, the most wonderful is through redemption. Turn in your Bibles, if you will, to 1 Corinthians chapter 2. Verses 6 through 10. Paul's explaining this great message of wisdom, and it's the wisdom of redemption. It's what God has done through the purposes of Christ.
And he picking it up in verse 6, he says, we do. He says, talking about human wisdom, then he's talking about spiritual wisdom. He says, we do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the spiritually mature. But not the wisdom of this age or the rulers of this age who are coming to nothing. No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.
Think of that. God destined for our glory before time began. There is a wisdom, there is a secret, there is a plan, there's something that God is orchestrating. A perfect ends by perfect means that He's been orchestrating since the foundation of the earth. to fulfill the purposes for every human being.
And he goes on to say. None of the rulers of this age understood it. For if they had, they would have not crucified the Lord of glory.
However, it is written: No eye has seen, nor ear heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him. God has revealed it to us by His Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. And what he's talking about here is redemption. He's talking about the secret wisdom of the redemption, God's plan.
And that big word redemption literally just means to purchase back. to buy back. Probably no one has ever heard of SNH green stamps, right? Yes. I love you all.
You know what I did as a kid? In the grocery store back then, instead of these swipe cards, and you would get these green stamps. And you got these books, and if you were the youngest child in the family, hello, that's me. You got to lick all the stamps. And then you put so many books together, right?
And you took the green stamp books to the Redemption Center. They're buying them back. What's it mean?
So you take your five books And you leave with a whole set of dishes. All redemption is, is the purchase price for something. And the great wisdom of God is the redemption of Christ coming. to purchase you for God. For a relationship with him both now.
and forever and ever and ever. And that's the secret that he's talking about. But it's a great paradox because it looked like a complete failure. What I want you to see is: this is God's plan. And here's the plan, okay?
Here's a lost world. There's been a coup. A rebellion. They've rebelled against the Most High God, the King, the Creator, the Sovereign that we've talked about. From the foundations of the earth.
God giving The possibility of choosing. knew this would come, and so the second person of the Trinity Christ says, I will go. I will save the people. And so The coup has happened, sin has occurred, Christ comes.
Now listen to the wisdom of God. He's born of a teenage girl. in a stall. Can you imagine what the demons were thinking?
Well, you know what? I don't know what God's up to, but this doesn't look like a very good plan. And then he's going to be raised by a carpenter.
Well, that's not exactly the upper elite of Jewish culture. And then finally he grows up, lives a perfect life. And then he's going to choose people. Because he brings what? The best possible plans by the best possible means, for the most possible people.
So he chooses a bunch of blue collar guys to get the job done. Peter, John, James, a couple fishermen, a crook, Matthew, a zealot. A couple wackos. Should we call down thunder on them, Lord? I mean, guys, would you just cool it?
And you look at the guys that he chose. Why? The wisdom of God, who gets the credit when regular guys like us, ordinary people like us, follow Christ, are redeemed, get transformed, and then change the world? God does. See, God is always working toward purposes that we rarely understand.
But if we don't understand the big plan of redemption and understand that's his purposes behind his wisdom, We will get lost. Can you imagine how much of a failure it looked like? Try to visualize yourself being there and you were a follower, you were Peter or one of the Marys and you cared and you loved him and you thought of him as the hope of the world and you're looking up at a cross and he's hanging there and he's dying and he says it's finished and he's dead. And you're thinking This is a fine mess you got us into. I left my home, I left my job.
I've been ridiculed. I've been kicked out of the synagogue. And he's dead. And you can almost, in the invisible world, seeing the demons going, ha ha ha, ha, ha, ha, he's dead. See, we've.
God's wisdom is foolishness unto man. But what happened? When he died on the cross, he purchased you. Redemption is he paid the price for your sin. Between Friday night and Sunday when he rose, he went to what?
The old creed says What does it mean that he ascended, except that he descended to the lower parts of the earth and he proclaimed to The invisible world. Death is defeated. Satan is defeated. Sin has been rendered powerless. I am the victor, and then he comes out of the grave.
And what seemed absolutely ridiculous. It seemed foolish and ridiculous. was the wise plan of God. See, it is in redemption. That we see that God takes the things that the world so esteems.
And he's always about turning them upside down. Listen to J.I. Packard. I love his. quote on this.
God's almighty wisdom is always active and never fails. All his works of creation and providence and grace display it. And until we can see it in them, We're just not seeing them straight. But we cannot recognize God's wisdom unless we know the end for which he's working. God's wisdom is not and never was pledged to keep a fallen world happy.
or to make ungodliness comfortable. Not even to Christians has he promised. a trouble-free life. Rather The reverse. He has other ends in view for life in this world than simply to make it easy for everyone.
What is he after then?
So you'll never understand the wisdom of God and understand the ends is what he's saying.
So what is God after? What's he after in the world? What's he after in the culture? What's he after in the society? What's he after in you?
What's he aftering me? Packer goes on to say, what's his goal? What's his aim? He plans that a great host of mankind should come to love and honor him. His ultimate objective is to bring them to a state in which they please him entirely and praise him adequately.
And he and they rejoice continually in the knowledge of each other's love. Men rejoicing in the saving love of God set upon them from all eternity, and God rejoicing in the responsive love of men. drawn out of them by grace. through the gospel. You're listening to Living on the Edge, and Chip will be back to continue our series, The Real God, in just a minute.
But let me quickly tell you: we are more than a broadcast ministry. We're passionate about supporting pastors globally, developing helpful resources, and sharing the gospel with this next generation.
So, if you'd like to partner with us in these areas, go to livingontheedge.org.
Well here again is Chip. You see, until we really grasp God's ultimate purpose for our lives now and eternity. we will be perpetually frustrated and disillusioned. And I think for many of us, that's what's happened. Because our aim Very subtly is not.
God Make me like your son. Our aim is not very subtly We've been veered off the course. Oh God. Help me fulfill whatever purpose you have. for this brief time on this planet for you, because I will be with you forever and ever and ever.
We have reversed it. And we can't figure out why life is so frustrating and God won't come through. Because his number one agenda is not my personal peace and prosperity. And his number one agenda is not my personal fulfillment. And his number one agenda is not to cure my loneliness with another person.
His number one agenda is not to give me a bigger and nicer house, a nicer car, and the comforts that all the world can offer. He may do all those things out of his gracious love. But all of those in and of themselves, if the means Turn into an end? are idols. And his wisdom in your life.
is often bringing pain that feels unbearable because redemption is so important to pry the idols out of your hand.
so you don't miss out on what really matters. It's of a loving, good, kind, compassionate God that so loves you that knows that you're trading. What is great and eternal and best? for something that's cheap and that promises much and delivers little. And so he wants you to be wise.
He just wants you to be wise. He wants you to understand how he has designed life. and then he wants you to walk according to that design. And when you do, it will bring a goodness to your heart, a transformation in your relationships, a joy that you cannot fathom. you will fulfill his purposes.
You see, it's so subtle, the little difference. But he is about in that situation that's on your mind. He's committed to bringing the best possible ends. by the best possible means. for the most possible people.
for the longest possible time.
So let's wrap this up with some specific action steps. to respond to his wisdom. How must we respond to the wisdom of God? Very simply, we must learn to live wisely. We must learn.
To live. Wisely, Ephesians 5. Fifteen to seventeen. What's he saying? He said Don't be unwise, don't walk as unwise, but as wise, and understand the will of the Lord.
He said, for the days are evil. You're living in dark times. He says, don't be unwise, but be wise. Live wisely. Live according to God's plan.
So that you can rest. And so you can trust.
So there is a command not only. that we be wise but that we live in a way that reflects that we are trusting God. He wants us to rest. He wants us to understand, this is how I've designed life. And you know Real practically, God says This is how you can learn.
This is how to do relationships. This is how to handle your money. This is how to make decisions. This is how to walk by faith. This is how to fulfill Your purpose for me.
And if you will discover the way of wisdom and follow it. Then what do all those promises of Scripture? About love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, the fruit of the Spirit. And the rewards of that life are What God wants for you. But you don't get that living in an unwise manner.
And so, second, not only must we learn to live wisely, it begins, then, how do you get it? It begins with reverencing. God. Reverencing God. Proverbs 1:7 says, The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.
But fools despise wisdom and discipline. Job 28, 28 says, And he said to them, The fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to shun evil. is understanding.
So how do you learn to live wise? First step is It begins with reverence for God. To have the fear of God. And you know, you can do all kinds of word studies. You know what to be afraid of God is?
You know what the word fear really means, like in the Hebrew and the Greek and all that stuff? Need to be fearful. I mean, reverential awe, yes, that's true, but we kind of try and, it means to be afraid. But but it's not afraid that he's going to hurt you. It's you're afraid that you won't please him It's afraid that you're going to let him down.
You know, I don't know how many of you, as a kid in my generation, How many times did you ever say, man, I can't do that. If I did that, my parents would kill me. Right? And you know what?
So I didn't do it.
Now, you weren't really afraid that they were going to actually physically kill you, but it was a mix of consequences that you didn't want. Combined with a sense of betrayal and letting them down in ways that you didn't want to face. And the way you got off the hook with your friends who were asking you to do it, I can't do it. My parents would kill me. What you were saying is, I have a healthy fear of my mom and dad.
And that's where wisdom starts. I'm afraid. I don't want to mess up in my life. There are consequences. I want to do life God's way.
The fear of the Lord essentially is: I am going to choose to do life God's way. I'm afraid for the consequences, and I'm afraid for what it will do to my relationship with my Heavenly Father and what it says to him in light of all that he's done for me. I want to live with a healthy, wholesome fear. of God. And I spent the first three years probably of my Christian life saying, You know, I'm going to be a Frank Sinatra Christian.
I'm going to do it my way. I mean really. I'm going to do it my way. And I just kept bumping my head, bumping my head, bumping my head. And you know, God loves you so much.
You know, when you really mess up, he doesn't kick you out of the family. He takes you to the woodshed. And Hebrews 12, he'll love you. I call it the velvet vice of discipline. And you know what?
There's gentleness in it, but you know what? He'll just bring, you know, if relationships is an issue, or money is the issue, or time is an issue, he'll get your attention. He loves you so much. And he'll just bring the Velvet Vice, and you can either learn now, you can learn later. You don't you still don't I mean some of us that are hard-headed.
It's painful. And some of you may be in the velvet vice of discipline. and you're not living wise lives. With the fruit of living wisely. Because basically, you have a solid bar mentality that I'll choose out of the Christian life the parts I like.
to do life my way on my terms. And God says, that's an interesting suggestion, but it's not one of the options. It's just not one of the options with me. Not in light of who I am. And so, to respond to the wisdom of God, you have to learn to live wisely.
And to learn to live wisely, it begins with this reverential awe and fear that you're going to say, I'm going to do life God's way because, are you ready for this? He's God. Did you ever think of that? He's God. He deserves for me to live in that way.
Third, It requires growing or receiving His Word. There is no way to live wisely without the manual that teaches us how to live wisely. As Psalm 119. 97 through 100 says, Oh, how I love your law. I meditate on it all day long.
Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, for they're ever with me. I have more insight than all my teachers, for I meditate on your statutes. I have more understanding than the elders, for I obey your precepts. Second Timothy three, fifteen through seventeen says, All scripture. All scripture.
Is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correction, and training in righteousness. Why? So that the man of God. might be thoroughly equipped for every good work. I do not know.
And I'm not talking about reading your Bible a little bit. I'm talking about receiving the word implanted. You need to ask yourself, How many Videos, how many magazines, how many books, how much TV, and how much stuff. is going into my mind versus how much truth from God's word. Because I will tell you, you are what you eat.
That's right. You are what you eat physically, you are what you eat spiritually. And it's not just a little thing like, okay, I got a little devotional. I'm glad I got it from that group. And I read the devotional to Google.
Oh, boy, I like it. A little check mark. Mmm, got that done today. See you later, God. I'm not talking about reading the Bible or even being in a Bible study.
I'm talking about receiving the word.
Now, do you have to read it to receive it? Yes. Do you have to study it to receive it? Yes. But I'm talking about saying, God.
I don't want to go through religious routines. I want you to speak to me. I love you. You're showing me some things.
So I want to take your word and I want to see what it says. And I want it to be the mirror to point out things that need correction. I want it to be the mirror that says that you love me and affirm me despite where I'm at. And that I'm going to write down those specific promises that I need on a three by five card. And I'm going to read them over and I'm going to ponder them.
I'm going to meditate on them because I need to trust you in this because I'm a people pleaser. I need to trust you in this because I'm a workaholic. I need to trust you in this because I keep lusting and falling back into these patterns.
So I'm going to take these promises of your word. I'm going to receive them in my heart. I'm going to memorize them and meditate on them. And I'm going to ask you for the grace to take the. Written word and make it the living word in my heart as I trust in you so that you transform my life as I receive your word.
See, that's what God wants me to do. That's how you live wisely. It's not just knowing the right thing, it's putting it into practice. Knowing the Bible never changed anyone. It is applying what you know of the Bible that brings life change.
And so to live wisely begins with reverence, it means receiving the word, and then it requires asking for it specifically. James 1.5, but if any man lack wisdom, let him ask of God. Who gives all men generously and without reproach? But let when he asks, Let him ask in faith without any doubting. For the man who doubts is like a wave in the sea tossed here and there.
This is an airtight promise. And the wisdom here is: you don't know what to do about a decision. You don't know what to do about this relationship. You don't know what to do about your finances. You don't know what to do about a wayward child.
You don't know what to do. Should I take this job or that job? Should I take the promotion? Should I move or not move? What do you want me to do?
Don't you have a lot of those things in your life? I do. You know what this passage says? It comes out of the context of enduring suffering. It's written to a group of people that have been dispersed and they've lost their families and lost their jobs and they've been disowned.
And they've been told, consider all joy when you encounter various trials. And know this testing of your faith. Tell you what. Hang in there, endure. And God will use it to develop your character.
But in the midst of your pain and your suffering, if you don't know how to handle it, If any man lack wisdom, let him ask. God promises 100% of the time to show you exactly what to do if you'll come and ask. And wisdom is not, don't make me smart in this, will you show me what it looks like to follow your way and your will in this situation? That's what wisdom is. That's what you're asking.
Show me what it looks like. to do what you want me to do in this situation.
Now here's the condition that let him ask without any doubting. That phrase there does not mean an intellectual doubt. Or that's not like honest doubts about one verse in the Bible. This is a picture of a person. Because coming to God.
But they're coming Literally, we get our word schizophrenia, double-minded, doubting, double-minded. It has the idea of someone who comes to God and says, Should I date this person or this person? Should I take this job or that job? Should I do this with my money or this with my money? Should I move here or move there?
God, I want you to show me exactly what you want me to do so I can take it under consideration. I would really like you to show me exactly what you want me to do. And I'll tell you what, I'll think about that. And if it's what I want. Uh I just might do it and if I don't I just might not.
That's the doubting of the double-minded man. You want to know how to get God's wisdom in areas where you're not sure what to do? Here's the word picture. Whatever that area is, you imagine a blank check. And on the top of that check, you know, where you write it out to someone, you imagine, I need to know what God wants me to do, or I have this big decision about this or this or this or that.
And then what you do. Is is you right? On the bottom of the check where you sign your name, you sign your name. And then you take that check and you walk over. kind of in your mind's heart.
And it's the throne room of God. and you take it and you shove it under the door. There's light coming out from under the door. And you signed your name and he fills out the top. And what you're saying is Lord, whatever you show me in advance, whatever you show me, I'm committed to doing.
If you will show me, I will do it 100%. If you say break off the relationship, I will. If you say move, I'll move. If you say confront the situation, I'll confront him. If you say quit this job, I'll quit this job.
Whatever you tell me to do, I will do. I've signed my name on the bottom of the check. I put it under the door of heaven. And now, Lord, you promise that you will give wisdom to anyone who asks without reproach, even if the reason I'm here. Is because I've messed up in the past.
These are some consequences of my sin. And I really feel bad about asking you what to do because I'm here because I really know I messed up. That phrase is, he'll come without reproach. God will not give wisdom and say, I was wondering when you're going to come. and you really did mess up and you're getting what you deserve.
That's not the passage says just the opposite. God will say, I'm glad you came. And I'm not here to condemn you. You understand what you've done wrong. You've come with an honest heart.
and you've repented. And now you need to know what to do. And I want you to know whenever any one of my children come and they are willing to do whatever I show them. If you will ask me, I guarantee 100% of the time I will show you exactly what to do. And so, about 98% of the will of God in these kind of areas is being willing to do what He says.
And if you're willing to do in advance, he will show you. It may be through a book. It may be through a person. It may be through a counselor. It may be through a pastor.
It may be through a series of events where seven people say exactly the same thing that don't know each other to you. It may be a strong prompting in your spirit. And by the way, if it's other-centered, loving, biblical, moral. and has some sacrifice involved. It probably isn't the enemy trying to tempt you.
You know, we're really funny. Oh, this couldn't be from God, you know. If we're going to respond to God's wisdom, we must learn to live wisely. And that begins with reverence for God. It grows with receiving His Word.
It requires asking for it specifically. And finally, we must learn to trust Completely. Trust 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. You're listening to Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram, and the message you just heard, the wisdom of God, is from our series, The Real God. In just a minute Chip will give us some deeper insight into what he just taught. But before he does that, Chip's here in studio to share a quick word with all of you. Chip?
Thanks so much, Dave. I want to take just a moment to talk directly to those of you that are seeking a way to be more connected to the Ministry of Living on the Edge. We're in need of partners who will take a step of faith and make a monthly financial commitment to the ministry. You may be thinking that because we reach millions of people through radio and broadcast and online and ministry resources, that we probably don't need the money or that we're supported by all these people. The fact is, it's a very small percentage of all the people who listen.
or do small group resources that actually give to the ministry. We depend on and we deeply appreciate those partners who make the decision to walk with us, especially with a monthly commitment. Doesn't have to be a large amount.
So let me ask you, would you please pray about becoming a monthly partner? Thanks so much in advance for whatever God leads you to do. Thanks, Chip.
Well, if joining the Living on the Edge team is an idea that makes sense to you, let me encourage you to become a monthly partner. You can do that today by visiting livingonthege.org or by calling 888-333-6003. Take a few minutes to help others benefit from the work of this ministry. Call 888-333-6003 or go to livingontheedge.org. Applisters tap Donate.
Well with that, let's get to that application from Chip. How do we tap into the wisdom of God? How do we get His mind and His heart about what to do, when to do it, where to go, what decisions to make? what not to do, so that we honor him and it works for our good. Today, we covered three specific things that you need to do and I need to do if we're going to tap into God's wisdom.
Let me review them. Number one, it begins with reverence for God. You know, at the heart of this, I don't know where you're at, at the heart of this is, you will never get God's wisdom until you bow the knee and say, I'm going to do life your way. You know, this there's no compromise here. I'm gonna do life your way.
Your word says it. I'm gonna do it. When I know what's right to do, I may feel like it, I may not. I'm gonna do it. So it begins with reverence second, it requires asking for it specifically.
God says Ask for wisdom and I'll give it to you. What's the situation where you need to know the mind of God? Are you asking specifically? But remember the condition, you are willing to do whatever He says. Third, It grows with receiving His Word.
God's not dropping little wonderful ideas about what to do out of the sky. It doesn't happen in a vacuum. Remember we said it's His Word. It's a lamp into our feet. It's a light into our path.
As you soak your mind and your heart in the Word of God, Wisdom will literally ooze out of it by the power of the Holy Spirit as you come with that surrendered heart. And so here's your assignment. Are you ready? I want you to do this today. I would like you to sit quietly for 15 minutes.
and ponder your most difficult circumstance. and say, Lord, Will you give me your wisdom? And Lord, whatever you show me, I'll do. He may bring a verse to your mind, he may bring an idea, he may prompt you to go talk to someone. He may even say, Why don't you read that chapter in J.I.
Packer's book, knowing God. pages ninety three to ninety seven. and you may get a perspective that you've never had before. May God grant you his wisdom to day. Amen.
Amen and amen. Great word ship.
