50
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 5: We're gonna face decisions, We're gonna face challenges, We're gonna

51
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 5: need God to help us. You know, when you think

52
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 5: about it, is as you become an adult, there's so

53
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 5: many decisions to make. What school you're gonna go to,

54
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 5: what vocation you're gonna you're gonna try to go after,

55
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 5: who you're gonna marry, what house you're gonna buy, How

56
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 5: to save your money, how to spend your money, how

57
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 5: to invest your money, how to have a good relationship,

58
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 5: good marriage, raise your children. I mean, there are so

59
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 5: many decisions that we make just on a daily basis,

60
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 5: not even to mention the large decision, the decision that

61
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 5: can alter our life.

62
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 4: We make decisions all day long.

63
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 5: And you know, when we think about it, if we

64
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 5: just realize all the decisions that we make, it could

65
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 5: be overwhelming. You may be standing at the threshold of

66
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 5: a decision today. You may be wondering, how do you

67
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 5: reach out to that child who is off course, how

68
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 5: do you resurrect this marriage, how do you pay your bills?

69
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 4: There may be some major decisions today.

70
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 5: But can I tell you God doesn't want you to

71
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 5: be overwhelmed by the decisions of life. The Bible says

72
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 5: that Jesus is the power and the wisdom of God.

73
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 5: If you have Jesus Christ, then you have all power

74
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 5: and all wisdom to make the right choices. You see,

75
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 5: you are not powerless. You are not a victim, but

76
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 5: you're a victor. Chase after Jesus. See you go in

77
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 5: the direction of wisdom.

78
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 4: God will do things you can't do.

79
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 5: You see, sometimes we take it upon ourselves and we struggle.

80
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 5: You see, we may have the power and wisdom on

81
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 5: the inside of us, but sometimes it sure doesn't feel.

82
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 4: Like it, does it. It seems impossible.

83
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 5: Those decisions seem very weighty, and if we don't make

84
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 5: the right one, we may not get to the place

85
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 5: we're supposed to be. See, we all want to take

86
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 5: Plan A, don't we. Nobody wants to take Plan B.

87
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 5: Although we have a great God. He'll get you to

88
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 5: Plan BCD, whatever it takes, He'll take you there. But

89
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 5: we all want to go Plan A. Sometimes it's very difficult,

90
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 5: and I believe God wants us to understand it's not

91
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 5: exactly the situation that we need to pray about, but

92
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 5: it's the wisdom for the situation. It's the wisdom we

93
00:04:54,440 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 5: need wisdom. I think about King Solomon, a young king.

94
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 5: When he took the throne. His father, David had died,

95
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 5: and he was his successor. And David was representing and

96
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 5: ruling and reigning over a nation that had been from

97
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 5: Abraham's time. God had given the Israelites lands and ruled nations,

98
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 5: and now it was on the shoulders of Solomon. His

99
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 5: father had died, so he was a successor. The scholars

100
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 5: tell us that he was probably nineteen or twenty years old.

101
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 4: When he took the throne. He had the weight of.

102
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 5: The world on him. How do I rule these people?

103
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 5: I'm nineteen years old?

104
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 4: How much can you know? At nineteen years old?

105
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 5: He was questioning and wondering and feeling the weight of this.

106
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 5: And one night God appeared to him in a dream

107
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 5: and said, Solomon.

108
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 4: What can I do for you? What can I give you?

109
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 4: What do you need? Solomon?

110
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 5: Can you imagine if God appeared to you at night

111
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 5: and an impression in the dream and said what do

112
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 5: you need?

113
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 4: I mean A thousand things would go through your mind. Right.

114
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 5: A new car would be great? God, how about that promotion?

115
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 5: I've been waiting for, man, God, I'm waiting to get

116
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 5: married that's a big decision in itself, isn't it just

117
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 5: to figure out what we need? This is what the

118
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 5: young king answered. He said, God, what I need is

119
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 5: your wisdom. I need your wisdom to rule the nations

120
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 5: that you've given me. I need your wisdom to make

121
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 5: the right decisions.

122
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 4: You see.

123
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,119
Speaker 5: He could have asked for money. He could have asked

124
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 5: for fame. He could have asked for long life. He

125
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 5: could have said, God, you know what, I want people

126
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 5: to respect me.

127
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 4: I want them to know that I'm king God.

128
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 5: He could have asked for a number of things, but

129
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 5: somehow he realized, wisdom is the big picture. Wisdom is

130
00:06:54,800 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 5: what I need. See God was so pleased with his answer.

131
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 5: God not only gave him wisdom, but God gave him power, influence.

132
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 4: And great riches. You see, Wisdom, it's the big picture.

133
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 4: The Bible says in.

134
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 5: James one in five, it says, if any of you

135
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 5: lack wisdom, let him ask God for it. God won't

136
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 5: find fault.

137
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 4: In you asking. He'll give it to you generously if

138
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 4: you believe.

139
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 5: You see, sometimes we think that God's mad at us

140
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 5: because we haven't made the right decision.

141
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 4: We haven't handled it the right way. But God is.

142
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 5: Saying, I don't hold anything against you. I'm not gonna

143
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 5: find fault in the way you did it yesterday. Ask

144
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 5: me for my wisdom today, and I will give it

145
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 5: to you generously and lavishly.

146
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 4: If Solomon needed wisdom, we need wisdom.

147
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 5: We may never rule nations, but we are sent here

148
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 5: to rule and reign on this earth. Going to have

149
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 5: power and influence, We're going to have to have God's wisdom.

150
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 4: See, we need to chase after wisdom.

151
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 5: The Bible says, though it costs you all you have,

152
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 5: go after it.

153
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 4: Chase after wisdom. You see.

154
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 5: Sometimes we think, God, if you'll just give me a

155
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 5: break in my finances. God, if you'll just bring this

156
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 5: money in so I can pay my bills, that's gonna

157
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 5: fix my problems. God, if you'll just help me in

158
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 5: this area with my coal worker. Me and God, they're

159
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 5: holding me back. People are criticizing me. See we look

160
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 5: at the one thing. But God is saying, no, you

161
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 5: need my wisdom, you need my instruction.

162
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 4: You see. Wisdom sees the big picture.

163
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 5: Maybe we don't pray God bring me that money, but

164
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 5: we say, God, give me wisdom on how to pay

165
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 5: my bills, how to do the things you want me

166
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 5: to do, how to handle i'm my coworker, how to

167
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 5: have a better relationship, how to raise my children.

168
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 4: But I need wisdom. You see.

169
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:13,119
Speaker 5: It's interesting because small adjustments can make huge differences.

170
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 4: You see, if you want.

171
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 5: Wisdom, The Bible says that in Proverbs two six Satit,

172
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 5: the Lord gives the wisdom, and from his mouth come

173
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 5: knowledge and understanding. Sometimes we ask advice of someone else,

174
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 5: and it's good to have advisors. You know, in a

175
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 5: multitude of counselors, there is wisdom. But don't ever ask

176
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 5: someone else for advice without asking God first. Don't ever

177
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 5: seek man's advice when you got the wisdom of God.

178
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 5: It's interesting because we live in the age of information.

179
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 5: We can get information at the tip of our fingers.

180
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 5: We can send information, we can receive information. There is

181
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 5: a plethora of information out there, but still society is fighting.

182
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 5: People are divided. They don't know how to be happy.

183
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 4: See, it's not information, but it's revelation that we need.

184
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 4: It's God's divine inspiration.

185
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 5: You see. Wisdom is applying the knowledge of God. Wisdom

186
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 5: comes by understanding and knowledge and applying it to our life.

187
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 3: So you can.

188
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 5: You can know a lot of things. You can have

189
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 5: tons of information. You can even know God's word. You

190
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 5: can sit in the service today.

191
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 6: But you know what, if you don't apply it, it's not

192
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 6: gonna do you any good. It see's not what you know,

193
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 6: it's what you do with what you know. You see,

194
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 6: you may know a lot today. It may be all

195
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 6: up here.

196
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 5: Ask God to give you wisdom, to let it be

197
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 5: applied to your life. You see, If you need wisdom,

198
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 5: one of the best places to go is the Book

199
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 5: of Proverbs. It was written by King Solomon himself, the

200
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 5: king who asked for wisdom, and God gave it to him.

201
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 5: It's a book that's full of advice. It's full of

202
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 5: life lessons. It is simple in its form, easy to digest,

203
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 5: and easy to apply. That's what wisdom is. It's not

204
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 5: some complex information. It's just a simple revelation of God

205
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 5: that we can apply to our everyday lives. Can It

206
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 5: reminds you that God's word changes things. See the Bible

207
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 5: says that the mysteries are hidden with Jesus Christ. See,

208
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 5: they are not hidden from us, They're hidden in us.

209
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 5: And if we will begin to ask God for his wisdom,

210
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 5: and revelation and seek it.

211
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 4: Above all things.

212
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 5: I believe our finances, our relationships will line up with

213
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 5: God's words.

214
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 4: They'll line up.

215
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 5: See God said, you have everything you need for life

216
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 5: and godliness. See God is concerned about your finances. He's

217
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 5: concerned about your life. He is concerned about the things

218
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 5: you're concerned about. But let me tell you something. He

219
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 5: is all wisdom and power. He sees it from up here,

220
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 5: we see it from down here. Have you ever heard

221
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 5: that I was saying, you can't see the forest or

222
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 5: the trees.

223
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 4: We'll see. God sees the big picture.

224
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 5: And if we will ask him for his wisdom and direction,

225
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 5: I believe that we will get understanding. And can I

226
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 5: tell you this about the Book of Proverbs. You should

227
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 5: read it and reread it, and read it and reread it.

228
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 4: It's powerful nuggets of truth for your life. But it's interesting.

229
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 5: We want wisdom to be downloaded. Hey, And it's great

230
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 5: when God does that. When he gives you wisdom and

231
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 5: you get the answer, a download from heaven is amazing.

232
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 5: But can I tell you that wisdom sometimes comes in

233
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 5: the form of correction.

234
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 4: We have to be humble to receive God's wisdom. We

235
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 4: have to always be open to learn. We can't be

236
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 4: above it all.

237
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 5: We have to know that God is always trying to

238
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 5: direct us and lead us in wisdom. Have you ever

239
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 5: had someone tell you something and it almost made you

240
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 5: mad because you knew.

241
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 4: It was the truth?

242
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 5: Joel does it to me all the time. Don't kill

243
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 5: the messenger. See, God can bring wisdom you to you

244
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 5: in many different ways. That's why he says, ask for wisdom. Yeah,

245
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 5: I believe he wants us to ask for wisdom so

246
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 5: that we'll incline our ear to wisdom, so that we'll.

247
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 4: Seek after it.

248
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 5: We'll look for it, look for it like you're looking

249
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 5: for a treasure. Don't kill the messenger. Might make you

250
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 5: upset to hear it, but no, those small adjustments can

251
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 5: make major differences. God is a god of wisdom. The

252
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 5: Bible says, seek first the kingdom of God, says it

253
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 5: in Matthew, and all these things will be added under you.

254
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 5: Maybe we should say it like this, seek first the

255
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 5: wisdom of God, because that's what Solomon did.

256
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 4: He was looking to rule God's kingdom.

257
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 5: He was saying, God, I need your wisdom to take

258
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 5: what you've given me and push it forward.

259
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 4: It's your turn.

260
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 5: It's your turn. You're standing in your turn right now,

261
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 5: and I want you to ask God for wisdom. Don't

262
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 5: get so far down in the nitty gritty but you

263
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 5: can't see the big picture. The Bible says that this

264
00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 5: world was founded on the wisdom of God, and our

265
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 5: life needs to be founded on that same wisdom.

266
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 4: Because God is going to take us where we need

267
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 4: to be. It's our turn to ask for his wisdom. Amen. Amen.
