Week 2 (Sunday)
Praying For Wisdom

James 1:5 “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.”

Wisdom can be defined here as ‘the right use of knowledge.’ We human beings are incredibly prone to live our lives based on what looks right, seems right, feels right, and sounds right. But wisdom gives us the ability to see our lives through God’s eyes and make decisions accordingly. To put it plainly, wisdom allows you to align your heart with God’s.
“Our job as (Christians), like experienced surfers, is to recognize a wave of God’s Spirit and ride it. It is not our responsibility to make waves but to recognize how God is working in the world and join Him in the endeavor. … In other words, (we) should stop praying, ‘Lord, bless what I’m doing’ and start praying, ‘Lord, help me to do what you are blessing.’”
How do we acquire such wisdom? We simply ask God for it in faith. Thankfully, He “gives generously to all without reproach.” In other words, our God gives His wisdom generously and doesn’t scold His children for asking!
This week, we ask God’s wisdom for our lives, for our families, and most especially, for our church. What does God desire for CBC? How can we best invest our resources of time, money, and energy to further His great Kingdom? What is God’ specific will for Calvary for 2017 and beyond?

“When God’s work is done in God’s way for God’s glory, it will not lack for God’s supply.”
