"But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere. And those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness." -James 3:17
True wisdom comes from God. May godly wisdom and the fruit of the spirit bear witness in our lives so that we are better representatives of Christ in how we interact with and allow the love of God to operate in our lives towards others. Thank you Lord for loving us enough to give us your wisdom and for the privilege of representing you here on earth!

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take." -Proverbs 3:5-6, NLT
Oftentimes, we can have the tendency to rely on our own intellect when making decisions, but the Word of God encourages us to not depend on our own understanding and to seek God's guidance in our decision making. So trust God for wisdom with making that big decision you need to make. He can provide you with divine insight and revelation that your intellect was not privy to. He wants the very best for you and desires to help you and guide you. Accept His loving help.

"And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect." -Romans 12:1-2, NLT .
There is healing and breakthrough in your worship whether on your knees or through your daily walk with God. Allow God to transform you and your mind daily so that you will understand what His will is for your life. Trust and find comfort in the fact that He knows best for you.
