The Wisdom That Transforms | Tuesday
Dr. Michael Gossett

Devotional
What exactly is wisdom? It’s not merely knowledge or intelligence. Biblical wisdom is the ability to live according to God’s design for our lives. It’s practical, transformative, and available to every believer.

When we choose to live by God’s wisdom, we align ourselves with the Creator’s blueprint for humanity. We recognize that His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts. We surrender our desire for autonomy and control, acknowledging that true freedom comes through submission to Christ.

The beautiful truth is that if you’re a follower of Jesus, you already possess everything needed to live wisely. The Holy Spirit dwells within you, guiding you into all truth. God’s Word provides the instruction manual for life. The community of believers offers support and accountability.

This reality removes all excuses. When we choose foolishness, it’s not because wisdom was unavailable to us—it’s because we chose disobedience. Today, embrace the wisdom God has made available to you. Let it transform your decisions, relationships, and priorities. As you do, your life will become a testimony to God’s perfect design.

Bible Verse
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” – Isaiah 55:8-9
