God-Given Wisdom

While miracles are wonderful, they are not God’s first choice to prosper you. He would rather you work hard so He can reward you and others around you through your success and generosity. His best is the principle of “Seed, Time, and Harvest,” also known as “work and reward.” If you are on board with God’s best and looking to succeed this way, you need to be dependent on God for three things: wisdom, favor, and character.

Let’s look at wisdom. Wisdom is the God-given ability to see and know things not obvious to others. It’s the ability to think beyond your circumstances and training. Wisdom is a vision for something greater and the understanding of how to make it happen. The Bible says wisdom is a free download from God: 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

Wisdom is knowing when and how to move. It is being led by the Lord to apply for a better job at a specific time, even though that job is way out of your league. Wisdom can be a Spirit-led investment at a critical time.

I don’t know if you’ve ever seen a picture of the original Microsoft team. They looked like a bunch of gypsies and hippies rather than the richest, most powerful people on the planet. Had you invested in them back then, it would have been wisdom, and you wouldn’t need a financial miracle now.

Look around you. There are all kinds of trains steaming into better places. You just need the wisdom to know which one to climb on board.  God is granting you a spirit of wisdom and revelation by flooding the eyes of your heart with light. He is enlarging your vision for His plan. Watch for it and see where He moves you.
