9 For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you.
We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives,
Divine Wisdom is that awareness that our thoughts, our interior deliberations, our understandings are being influenced by our greatest friend intervening in our decision making, ensuring that we follow the road that He opens up for us each day we rise from our bed.
7 The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding ~ Proverbs 4
It is very easy to accumulate facts, figures, and knowledge.
It is a totally different reality to process information enabling us to reach a wise choice, confirming our ability to understand.
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; ~ Proverbs 3
Faith in God is also about our growing trust in His daily counselling, feeding our thoughts with all that He invites us to consider when making our decisions. Our doubts, and insecurities will also travel the same path ensuring some conflict. Experience walking our road of hard knocks teaches us that we are being taught life affirming lessons, designed by Our Father to grow our trust in His reliable counselling flowing into our thoughts.
With the passage of time our experiences inspire us to rely more, and more upon that wise counselling entering our inner thoughts often inviting us to place the needs of others before the more alluring, and self serving choice satisfying our fears that we might lose something of value by helping another, or others.
Isaiah 30:21
“And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, 'This is the way, walk in it,' when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.”
