What do you know for sure and are you applying it? Wisdom is easily defined as the proper application of knowledge but in order to apply we must first get back to basics and clearly identify what we KNOW!  Todays Scripture: 8 Doth not abwisdom cry? And bunderstanding aput forth her voice? 2  She standeth in the top of chigh places, by the way In the places of the paths. 3  She acrieth at the dgates, at the entry of cethe city, At the coming in at the doors. 4  Unto you, O men, I call; And my voice is to the sons of man. 5  O ye fsimple, understand fwisdom: And, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-inspration-engineer/support

What good is knowing the remedy if you do not apply it? In this episode we use an excerpt from a sermon by Dr. Miles Munroe to gain insight on the definition of wisdom and the story of blind Bartimeus for a relatable example of wisdom in action!  Mark 10:46-52(English Standard Version) 46 And they came to Jericho. And as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside. 47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 48 And many rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 49 And Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” And they called the blind man, saying to him, “Take heart. Get up; he is calling you.” 50 And throwing off his cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus. 51 And Jesus said to him, “What do you want me to do for you?” And the blind man said to him, “Rabbi, let me recover my sight.” 52 And Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him on the way. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-inspration-engineer/support

As we enter this new year let's start by asking God for wisdom! This week its all about Wisdom and each episode we will highlight new scriptures and talk through wisdom seeking together!  Scriptures from today's episode: James 1:5 NIV 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. James 3:17 NIV 17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Proverbs 17:27-28 NIV 27 The one who has knowledge uses words with restraint, and whoever has understanding is even-tempered. 28 Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues. Luke 21:15 NIV 15 For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-inspration-engineer/support

Confession for Clarity I trust in the Lord with all my heart and do not lean on my own understanding. I acknowledge him in all my ways and he makes my paths straight. He instructs me and establishes my steps to be inline with his plans of good for me. My God teaches me to profit and leads me in the way I should go. I trust him and have great confidence knowing that in God all things work for the good of those who love him and are called according to his purpose. I delight in the lord knowing that he has plans to give me hope and a good future. I take comfort in knowing that God will work out all things for me because I love him and he loves me! SCRIPTURES FOR CLARITY AND DIRECTION 1. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. 2. Psalm 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. 3. Psalm 37:23-24 The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand. 4.

Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. 6. Proverbs 16:9 The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps. 7.
