that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might (Ephesians 1:17-19 ESV)
Knowledge doesn’t do you any good if you don’t have wisdom. You can know everything in the world and if you don’t have wisdom, then you won’t know what is important. What needs my attention, what can I let go.
You see knowledge and wisdom go together, but with out wisdom to know what needs to be followed through on or just let go of you will be as Paul tells the Corinthians they are without love.
Francis Chan said we should not fear failure but success at something that doesn’t matter. So what are we chasing after that is not something we should be? What are we waisting resources in that would be better spent somewhere else? Or what are we following up on that is something worth our time and resources?
Use the spirit if Wisdom to not be a clanking gong or a rusty nail, but to be a wonderful resource for the world to see the love of God ever flowing through you!
Because if you are following where God is leading there will never be failure, there might be an outcome we did not want or expect, but God’s mission is done, and through that there is never failure!
