When we hear the word perfect, we often think of perfection. Yet another aspect is completeness. As God works to perfect, or complete, His child, He’s helping us to grow in different ways. Our sin nature desires to pull us from this and causes us to want to do things our own way, yet God…
Have you ever felt like you’ve reached the bottom of the barrel? In 1 Kings 17:1-16, we read of a widow woman and her son who were literally at the bottom of their barrel. Yet, in the midst of this, God asked them to take a step of faith and feed Elijah. God asked them…
We all need wisdom, yet how often do we seek the wrong wisdom? Only God’s wisdom stands the test of time and will benefit us in every circumstance. Proverbs is full of much wisdom and we’re looking to apply it as we study Proverbs 3:21-26 in this lesson on walking in wisdom.
