One important thing you should prioritise this New Year
above everything else is God’s wisdom, which is His Word. The Lord once made a
remarkable statement, saying to the Jews, “...You are mistaken, not knowing the
Scriptures nor the power of God” (Matthew 22:29).
A lot of people function outside of the wisdom of God
because they don’t have accurate information from God’s Word. It doesn’t matter
how many books you might have read, or what you think you’ve heard from those

God, and therefore can’t excel.
Man’s wisdom may take you some distance, but only God’s
wisdom will take you all the way. Wisdom is the revelation of God; it’s insight
into reality. Knowing God’s Word will inspire His wisdom in you to know, say,
and do the right thing, at the right time, in God’s way.

expanse of waters with a rod in your hand?“ They certainly would have thought
he had lost his mind However, Moses already received the Word from the Lord,

Dear heavenly Father, thank you for the wisdom that’s been made available through your Word. Christ has been made unto me wisdom; therefore, I walk in divine wisdom in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
