I keep coming across this topic, so I think I’ll share with you. I don’t know why it still surprises me that after all this time, when I seemingly have nothing to share, that God had already provided something for me, and was just waiting for me to accept it. Hmmm. It seems like this is a lesson I keep having to learn each day. Please bear with me, I’m still learning.
Sometimes we spend so much time wanting to be understood that we forget that we too must extend understanding. I think this is similar to grace. We want grace from others, but yet oftentimes we are unwilling to extend that level of grace that we would like.
It seems that wisdom and understanding go hand in hand. I’m learning that I must ask for God’s divine wisdom in order to understand some situations I’m in, and I’m finding that this is no easy task. Asking is the easy part, waiting for the wisdom, is not. But I’m also finding that God is gracious in the way He’s providing. I’m also finding Him extremely patient. How can I not get these lessons that He’s been trying to show me for years? Thank God He’s more patient with me than I am with myself or others.
Are you seeking wisdom and understanding today? God wants you to come to Him with ALL your questions. No question is too big or small for you to approach Him. He’s waiting to hear from you. Call upon Him today.
Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you for your love and patience. Please give us a double portion of your wisdom and understanding. Help us to be kind and loving towards others, and to try to see things from their perspectives and not just from our limited view.
