00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.320
Hi, my friends.

2
00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:05.040
Day 18, we're talking about seeking wisdom.

3
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:11.720
Proverbs 12, 15 says, The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens

4
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:13.600
to advice.

5
00:00:13.600 --> 00:00:20.200
So today we're talking about how important it is to seek wisdom as we pursue our dreams.

6
00:00:20.200 --> 00:00:26.000
God often provides guidance through people in our lives, whether coaches, mentors, friends,

7
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:33.160
pastors, parents, they are a wealth of wisdom along with the power and the wisdom that is

8
00:00:33.160 --> 00:00:34.580
in the word of God.

9
00:00:34.580 --> 00:00:38.520
And so it's important for you to be open to insight and advice.

10
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:44.960
A wise person recognizes the value of learning from others and is willing to listen.

11
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:48.240
So today let's take time and ask for advice.

12
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:53.400
If you feel stuck in your dream journey, if you're not exactly sure which way to go, well,

13
00:00:53.400 --> 00:00:55.120
first pray and ask God.

14
00:00:55.120 --> 00:00:56.920
That's always our first thought.

15
00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:01.480
But if you also feel like you just need more counsel or encouragement, seek those people

16
00:01:01.480 --> 00:01:04.040
around you that can help you.

17
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:10.160
But be careful, because sometimes while their advice might be good by the worldly standards,

18
00:01:10.160 --> 00:01:15.960
at the end of the day, you have to weigh their wisdom against what God is telling you.

19
00:01:15.960 --> 00:01:20.480
And make sure that it aligns with the dream and the course of action he is telling you

20
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:21.480
to take.

21
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:27.400
Because sometimes he's causing you or wanting you to go take new territory or do something

22
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:28.400
new.

23
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:30.960
And so again, it's wisdom and discernment.

24
00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:32.600
They go hand in hand.

25
00:01:32.600 --> 00:01:37.240
And then trust God that he will give you wisdom as you navigate your journey.

26
00:01:37.240 --> 00:01:42.160
The Bible is full of verses about asking God and the Holy Spirit to give you wisdom as

27
00:01:42.160 --> 00:01:44.160
well.

28
00:01:44.160 --> 00:01:50.360
So our activation for today is who can you turn to for advice or guidance on your journey?

29
00:01:50.360 --> 00:01:55.080
Whether it's again, a friend or a mentor, a coach, you know, I'm a life coach, there's

30
00:01:55.080 --> 00:02:00.240
other people who are coaches that just love to help you and give wisdom and advice.

31
00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:03.760
And you know, ask God to show you who you need in your journey.

32
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:09.479
And then reach out to them, someone that you respect and ask for insights on your dream.

33
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:11.160
So let me pray for you today.

34
00:02:11.160 --> 00:02:12.440
God, I thank you.

35
00:02:12.440 --> 00:02:16.360
I thank you for the gift of wisdom that we have through the Holy Spirit, that you can

36
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:17.560
give it to us.

37
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:18.560
It's in your word.

38
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:20.840
And it's also given to us through other people.

39
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:26.240
God, I pray that you would encourage my friend today that they would be open to hearing the

40
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:28.480
truth and the words that you have for them.

41
00:02:28.480 --> 00:02:33.600
God, that as they pursue their dreams, that they would do it with wisdom and be just walk

42
00:02:33.600 --> 00:02:35.800
in the wise path that you have for them.

43
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:40.520
God, that they would continue to learn and grow as we talked about yesterday.

44
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:45.440
And God, that they would be humble in their pursuit of achieving their dreams with you.

45
00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:46.680
In Jesus name.

46
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:47.680
Amen.

47
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:51.760
Okay, my friend, I hope you are encouraged today that you go after wisdom and I will

48
00:02:51.760 --> 00:02:54.320
talk to you again and see you tomorrow.
