With God are wisdom and might; he has counsel and understanding. – Job 12:13
Have you ever had a problem you could not fix? Fortunately, there are experts to go to for just about everything: mechanics, IT experts, and therapists. But, first and foremost, go to God.
As the verse says He has wisdom, might, counsel, and understanding. He may offer what you need directly, or He may send you to someone like those aforementioned.
You may have heard it takes a community to raise a child. God designed the church family to help each other live a successful Christian life.
Church members are to use whatever gifts, talents, and resources they have to build each other up.
“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace:
whoever speaks, as one who speaks the oracles of God: whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—so that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 4:10-11).
January can sometimes feel like a long month. After the holidays are over, the days are short and, in many regions, filled with gloomy weather. Turn to the Lord, in His wisdom and might, for all your needs – be they physical, spiritual, or emotional. Be a support to the family of God and, likewise, receive His strength through them.
As difficulties arise in the United States and around the world, rely on the Lord in faith, trust, and hope. Pray that the Church will arise and offer comfort and encouragement to the people around them.
